ODFW will only make recommendations for mosquito control treatment protocols on sensitive areas, as identified in the ODFW Vector Control Guidance for Sensitive Areas document or confirmed by the local fish and wildlife biologists utilizing the guidelines in the document. In general, a sensitive area is any area where fish and wildlife and their habitats are rare or of local importance due to their special nature or role in the ecosystem. Species-specific and location-specific details are not maintained in this dataset.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Oregon Conservation Strategy, 2006 Abstract -- State and federal agencies, as well as other organizations, have developed and led many plans during the years to guide conservation of Oregon's fish and wildlife and their habitats. Most of these plans have focused on a particular species, area or natural resource. Although wildlife conservation often has been an implicit concern of these plans, many were developed primarily for other purposes. With the creation of this Oregon Conservation Strategy, Oregon has its first overarching state strategy for conserving fish and wildlife. The Conservation Strategy is an effort to use the best available science to create a broad vision and conceptual framework for long-term conservation of Oregon's native fish and wildlife, as well as various in­vertebrates and native plants. As a guide to conserving the species and habitats that have defined the nature of Oregon, this strategy can help ensure that Oregon's natural treasures are passed on to future generations. The Conservation Strategy emphasizes proactively conserving declining species and habitats to reduce the possibility of future federal or state listings. It is not a regulatory document, but instead presents issues and opportunities, and recommends voluntary actions that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of conservation in Oregon. Healthy fish and wildlife populations require adequate habitat, which is provided in natural systems and, for many species, in landscapes managed for forestry, agriculture, range and urban uses. The goals of the Conservation Strategy are to maintain healthy fish and wildlife populations by maintaining and restoring functioning habitats, preventing declines of at-risk species, and reversing declines in these resources where possible. These goals fit well with ODFW's statutory obligation to protect and enhance Oregon's fish and wildlife and their habitats for use and enjoyment by present and future generations. However, this is not a management plan for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Instead, it is a broad strategy for all of Oregon, offering potential roles and opportunities for residents, agencies and organizations. It incorporates information and insights from a broad range of natural resources assessments and conservation plans, supple­mented by the professional expertise and practical experiences of a cross-section of Oregon's resource managers and conservation interests. It is designed to have a variety of applications both inside and outside of state government. Most important, perhaps, it establishes the basis for a common understanding of the challenges facing Oregon's fish and wildlife, and provides a shared set of priorities for addressing the state's conservation needs. The heart of the Conservation Strategy is a blueprint for voluntary action to address the long-term needs of Oregon's fish and wildlife. The future for many species will depend on landowners' and land managers' willingness to voluntarily take action on their own to protect and improve fish and wildlife habitat. The strategy outlined in this document considers fish and wildlife from a statewide perspective, establishing a broader context for decisions about the species and habitats in greatest need of conservation attention. It also recognizes that these issues vary in different regions, requiring conservation actions to be tailored to the unique needs of the fish, wildlife and human communities that coexist throughout Oregon. Much good work already is being done by private landowners. water-shed councils, conservation organizations and agencies like the many soil and water conservation districts. This strategy continues building on the solid foundation these groups have set for Oregon's conservation future. This document is called a strategy, not a plan, because its purpose is to help people make decisions more strategically about how they can invest time and resources in fish and wildlife conservation. To that end, the Conservation Strategy focuses on a suite of species and habitats, many of them closely linked, that are in greatest need of conservation attention. The strategy provides guidance on the types of actions most likely to benefit these species and habitats, and describes a variety of non-regulatory programs that can help landowners and land managers with implementation. For agencies and organizations working on a larger scale, the Conservation Strategy highlights specific geographic "Conservation Opportunity Areas" that provide good opportunities to address the conservation needs of high-priority habitats and species. These landscape-scale areas include both public and private ownership where targeted investments in conservation actions and incentives for private landowners are likely to generate the greatest long-term benefits for fish and wildlife. The expanding footprint of human development and 150 years of landscape alteration have left much of Oregon's fish and wildlife at varying degrees of risk. For example, the song of Oregon's state bird, the western meadowlark, is rarely heard in the Willamette Valley any more. A grassland bird still common in eastern Oregon, the meadowlark is not going to be a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act any time soon. But the state bird is in trouble across a significant portion of its historic range in Oregon. Like most of Oregon's wildlife, it retains a natural resilience and will respond to improved habitat conditions. However, the meadowlark needs some conservation attention. For the western meadowlark and dozens of other similarly vulnerable species including fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, invertebrates and plants, the Oregon Conservation Strategy offers hope for a more secure future.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Prineville Reservoir 1986 Abstract -- Prineville Reservoir is a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) on-stream multi-purpose reservoir on the Crooked River in Crook County, approximately 17 miles south of Prineville. The project was authorized by Congress in 1956 with functions including irrigation, flood control and industrial water. Recreation and downstream fish and wildlife benefits were not included as project functions. Water impounding began December 12, 1960 and the reservoir became functional during the winter of 1960-61. No upstream fish passage was provided. Various agencies are involved in the reservoir operation. Ochoco Irrigation District, under BOR guidelines, operates the water control structure, thus controlling reservoir pool level as well as stream flow below the reservoir. Prineville Reservoir State Park is managed and maintained by State Parks. Crook County maintains two boat ramps on the reservoir. The Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the fish resources of the reservoir and has entered into an agreement with BOR and Crook County to manage an 18 square mile area adjacent to the upper one-third of the reservoir for waterfowl, big game and other wildlife. Prineville Reservoir is heavily used by recreationists. The 1983 BOR Recreation and Wildlife Summary indicated that the reservoir was used by 285,031 anglers, hunters, boaters, swimmers and campers. In October 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Prineville Reservoir for hatchery trout and wild bass and brown bullheads.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Columbia River Basin - System Configuration Study; Snake River Drawdown, Migratory Canal, Upstream Collector Planning Aid Report Abstract -- This Planning Aid Report (PAR) is provided to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, to assist with reconnaissance-level planning for the System Configuration Study (SCS), which is a component of the Columbia River Salmon Mitigation Analysis (CRSMA). A preliminary draft and draft of the PAR were circulated for review and comment, and comments have been incorporated or addressed in the PAR. The SCS is evaluating physical changes to the configuration of the Columbia River System for the purpose of improving survival for anadromous fish. The proposed changes include modification of spillways, powerhouses and associated structures on the lower Snake River, and the construction of additional dams and structures which would permit modifications in present system operation. This specific PAR addresses the lower Snake River drawdown alternatives and the upstream collection and transport alternatives, including the migratory canal and tube. In addition, specific requests have been made from the Columbia-Snake River Drawdown Committee to evaluate designs for a side-channel spi 11 way and downstream weir at each of the lower Snake River projects. These elements were not addressed in the preliminary draft of the PAR. Other elements of SCS, such as the John Day drawdown and upstream storage, are being addressed by the Portland and Boise Fish and Wildlife Ecological Services Offices of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. The objectives of this PAR are to: 1) Describe relevant fish and wildlife populations and habitat within the study area; 2) Describe future fish and wildlife habitat conditions without the project; 3) Appraise existing fish and wildlife utilization; 4) Evaluate impacts of project alternatives on fish and wildlife resources; 5) Identify data gaps and study needs which need to be addressed during feasibility; and 6) Identify potential mitigation opportunities and requirements. In order to evaluate a full range of alternatives to improve the survival of anadromous fish stocks in the Snake River, this PAR also recommends that alternatives to evaluate the removal of one to four dams on the lower Snake River, and permanent, partial drawdowns be included in the range of alternatives under consideration. The need to consider these alternatives has become evident as uncertainties associated with the initially proposed alternatives have developed.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Little Deschutes Subbasin Watershed Assessment Abstract -- Many of the impacts to fish and wildlife habitat and water quality in the Little Deschutes River Subbasin are concentrated in the areas of housing, roads, and other human development. Most of the human population in the subbasin is concentrated around the community centers of La Pine, Gilchrist, Crescent, and Crescent Lake. There is significant dispersed development along the lower reaches of the Little Deschutes River between the communities of Sunriver and La Pine -an area characterized by gentle topography and depressions with forested wetlands, marshes and shallow lakes. Streams in this area, as illustrated by the Little Deschutes River , are low gradient and originate in the high elevation areas in the southwest portion of the watershed where there is higher precipitation. This ownership pattern has significant implications for natural resource management, as lower gradient floodplain areas tend to provide important wetland, fish, and wildlife habitat. Key Findings Fuel Loading: Having homes safe from wildfires is a concern for many residents. Fire suppression has increased the amount of dry wood in the area, creating a ready source for major wildfires. Riparian Areas and Wetlands: Loss of wetland and riparian areas , especially in the lower areas along the Little Deschutes River , has affected a number of resources. Water quality has been affected by the reduced wetlands that act as filters of nitrogen; the loss of streamside trees and other vegetation reduces shade that helps to cool water temperatures. Finally, loss ofwetlands and riparian vegetation has reduced important fish and wildlife habitats. Wildlife: The growth and development have altered wildlife habitats. Loss of wetlands, streamside vegetation, and other changes in the watershed have reduced important wildlife habitat. Roads and development have impacted migrating mule deer, increasing collisions between deer and cars and altering their migration pathways. Fish: There has been a significant loss of native trout and an increase in introduced brook and brown trout in the Little Deschutes River and tributaries. Loss of native trout is from competition with introduced species and changes in aquatic habitat and water temperatures. Water Quality: A major concern about the water in the river is unusually high temperatures in the summer and the abnormal growth of algae. Other studies indicated that there are problems with groundwater loading ofnitrogen. The high water table (with associated wetlands), and porous pumice soils contributes to increased nitrates, a by-product of septic systems and an indicator of human pathogens.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Yachats River, 1979 Abstract -- The Yachats River is a moderate-sized tributary to the Pacific Ocean containing 55 stream miles and a small estuary. This is an excellent small system that is not stocked with hatchery fish since the habitat is capable of producing a good population of wild fish. The stream receives light angling pressure; but we believe this will increase and more restrictive angling regulations may eventually be needed, although none are necessary now. The Yachats produces resident and anadromous cutthroat trout, fall Chinook and coho salmon, and winter steelhead. Releases of hatchery steelhead were terminated in 1969; cutthroat trout in 1978; and the only known release of salmon was made in 1958. There are no special angling regulations in effect at present. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of al] salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the following Department recommendations: The Yachats River will be managed for wild trout. The Yachats River will be managed for wild steelhead for the immediate future. However, if ODFW determines that steelheaders are opposed to this option, the Fish and Wildlife Commission will consider authorizing the release of hatchery smolts to enhance the fishery. The choice of a management option for salmon will be deferred until a coast-wide salmon management plan is developed. At that time, staff biologists will decide on a final recommendation to the Fish and Wildlife Commission regarding the need or desirability for releasing hatchery salmon into the system.

It is owned by the Summer Lake Irrigation District and was created in 1922 by construction of an earthen dam just downstream from a group of springs that formed Ana River. Various trout management programs have been tried at Ana Reservoir, but maintenance of an acceptable fishery has required periodic chemical treatment to reduce competition from tui chubs. In July 1981, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to introduce a new fish species (striped X white bass hybrid) into the reservoir. This is a good game fish, which will utilize chubs as forage.

One hatchery pond was constructed to rear trout; trout to compensate for those lost through the unscreened outlet, and paid for by Washington County. Anadromous fish trapping facilities were constructed below the dam, adjacent to the spillway. Washington County maintains public facilities around the reservoir and they are heavily used. Other major recreational activities, in addition to angling, are boating and swimming. BOR information from 1984 shows about 539,000 visitors. In November 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Hagg Reservoir for hatchery trout and wild hatchery warmwater species.

The lake was formed naturally and is approximately five miles long and one mile wide. The lake is immediately south of Highway 58 and has paved access roads to both the east and west ends. The large number of anglers and other recreationists at Odell Lake are supported by four U.S. Forest Service campgrounds, two resorts with marinas and about 70 summer homes. There are five boat ramps. Odell Lake has long provided one of the most important kokanee fisheries in the state. Because of this importance, numerous research projects have been conducted at the lake by the Research and Development Section of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Much of the data use in formulating this plan were collected during those projects. In October 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Odell Lake for wild trout.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Management Plan Thompson Valley Reservoir 1986 Abstract -- Thompson Valley Reservoir is an irrigation impoundment on Silver Creek in Lake County. It is located within the Fremont National Forest approximately 15 miles south of the town of Silver Lake. The reservoir was constructed in 1926 and is owned and operated by the Silver Lake Irrigation District. There is no minimum pool stipulation. However, under normal operation, the reservoir maintains enough water to support a year-around fish population. The Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the reservoir for a trout fishery. The Fremont National Forest constructed and maintains two campgrounds with boat launching facilities. Angling is the most popular recreational activity, while other uses include camping, hunting and bird-watching. The Forest Service estimated that the reservoir received 9,000 recreational visitor-days of use in 1983. Use in 1984 was substantially higher. In November 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Thompson Valley Reservoir for hatchery trout and look at the potential of eventually introducting bass or bass hybrids.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: 2011 Warner Sucker Investigations (Honey Creek) Progress Reports 2011 Abstract -- The Warner sucker (Catostomus warnerensis) is endemic to the Warner Valley, an endorheic subbasin of the Great Basin in southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada. Historically, this species was abundant and its range included three permanent lakes (Hart, Crump, and Pelican), several ephemeral lakes, a network of sloughs and diversion canals, and three major tributary drainages (Honey, Deep, and Twentymile Creeks) (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1985). Warner sucker abundance and distribution has declined over the past century and it was federally listed as threatened in 1985 due to habitat fragmentation and threats posed by the proliferation of piscivorous non-native game fishes (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1985). The Warner sucker inhabits the lakes and low gradient stream reaches of the Warner Valley. The Warner sucker metapopulation is comprised of both lake and stream life history morphs. The lake suckers are lacustrine adfluvial or potamodromous fish that normally spawn in the streams. However, upstream migration may be blocked by low stream flows during low water years or by irrigation diversion dams. When this happens, spawning may occur in nearshore areas of the lakes (White et al. 1990). Large lake-dwelling populations of introduced fishes likely reduce recruitment by preying on young suckers (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1998). The stream suckers inhabit and spawn in Honey, Deep, and Twentymile Creeks. The Recovery Plan for the Threatened and Rare Native Fishes of the Warner Basin and Alkali Subbasin (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1998) sets recovery criteria for delisting the species. These criteria require that: 1) a self-sustaining metapopulation is distributed throughout the Twentymile, Honey, and Deep Creek (below the falls) drainages, and in Pelican, Crump, and Hart Lakes, 2) passage is restored within and among the Twentymile, Honey, and Deep Creek (below the falls) drainages so that the individual populations of Warner suckers can function as a metapopulation, and 3) no threats exist that would likely threaten the survival of the species over a significant portion of its range. To inform progress towards the first criteria, our objectives in 2011 were: 1) obtain a population estimate for suckers in the Honey Creek drainage and describe their current distribution and 2) describe the association between the distribution of suckers and habitat variables in Honey Creek. In addition, we obtained a population estimate of suckers at the Summer Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA), where a self-sustaining population became established after a fish salvage from Hart Lake in 1991 when the lakes desiccated.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Clear and Foster Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- A watershed assessment was completed in the Clear and Foster Creek watersheds to evaluate existing conditions and make recommendations to protect or enhance watershed natural resources. Clear and Foster Creek are tributaries to the Clackamas River below any major dams on the system; consequently these tributaries are positioned favorably to contribute to recovery of important anadromous fish populations. Anadromous fish species in the Clackamas basin include spring and fall chinook, coho salmon, winter steelhead, summer steelhead (non-native), migratory cutthroat trout and lamprey. Clear and Foster Creeks are utilized by fall chinook, winter steelhead and coho salmon. The assessment generally followed the framework described in the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board’s Watershed Assessment Manual (WPN, 1999). The assessment focused on the following components: Channel habitat classification and modification; hydrology and water use; riparian/wetlands; sediment sources; water quality; fisheries; and wildlife and upland vegetation. Generally the approach builds on existing information, and enhances this information with aerial photo interpretation and limited field checking. Additional fieldwork was used to verify channel habitat types and to characterize fish habitat condition. GIS was used as a critical assessment tool and method of displaying results.

To meet the ISRP’s recommendation, the structure and methods employed by the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds Monitoring Program were extended to the John Day basin. This approach incorporates the sampling strategy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP). The EMAP is a long-term research effort with a statistically based and spatially explicit sampling design. This program applies a rigorous, Tier-2 sampling design to answer key monitoring questions, integrate on-going sampling efforts, and improve agency coordination. EMAP objectives specific to the John Day basin are to determine annual estimates of steelhead spawner escapement, hatchery to wild steelhead stray ratios, juvenile steelhead and other salmonid rearing distributions, physical habitat conditions, and track changes in the status and trends of these estimates over time. In addition, data from on-going projects in the basin, such as smolt monitoring, will be incorporated in future years to develop a more complete picture of status and trends in resources (e.g. life-stage specific survival) not targeted under the EMAP program. This project provides information as directed under two measures of the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. Measure 4.3C specifies that key indicator naturally spawning populations should be monitored to provide detailed stock status information. In addition, measure 7.1C identifies the need for collection of population status, life history, and other data on wild and naturally spawning populations. This project was developed in direct response to the recommendations and needs of regional modeling efforts, the ISRP, the Fish and Wildlife Program, the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds, and the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority Multi-Year Implementation Plan.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Drift Creek 1976 Abstract -- Drift Creek is being managed for wild fish. Good, basic information for management is available because data on cutthroat, steelhead, and coho salmon populations have been collected since 1959 as part of the Alsea Watershed Study. Drift Creek enters Alsea Bay at RM 3. It contains approximately 58 miles of fish production water and produces fair populations of resident cutthroat and good numbers of anadromous cutthroat, winter steelhead, and coho and chinook salmon. Fish have not been regularly stocked in Drift Creek, but all four species are released into the Alsea. The main stem of Drift Creek above Bohannon Falls is closed to salmon and steelhead fishing to protect spawning fish. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of all salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Drift Creek for wild trout and steelhead. ·It was also decided to continue managing salmon by relying on natural production until we develop a coast-wide salmon management plan. At that time, staff biologists will decide on a final recommendation to the Fish and Wildlife Commission regarding the need or desirability for releasing hatchery salmon in the system.

The Plan contains specific goals, objectives, strategies, and guidelines for the statewide management of trout, which are based on state laws, as well as general goals and policies adopted by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, (hereafter referred to as the Commission). In turn, the Plan provides direction for basin, subbasin, and mini plans developed for individual rivers and water bodies. The relationship of the Statewide Trout Management Plan to other ODFW plans is further discussed in Appendix A. This Statewide Management Plan will direct future trout management and will be reviewed in 6 years. The plan contains brief descriptions of Oregon's trout waters, species, anglers, and economic consequences. The importance of habitat and the use of angling regulations are also discussed. The plan covers all species of native and introduced resident trout and Pacific salmon that are managed in the resident trout program (Atlantic salmon, kokanee, coho salmon, and Chinook salmon) and the anadromous form (searun) of cutthroat trout. Appendix B contains a complete list of fish treated as trout in the plan.

Eight vessels participated, with observer coverage from May through October 2003. The trawl performed well and reductions in bycatch observed were consistent with the effects previously demonstrated in the controlled experiments. We recommend that a flatfish target fishery using this trawl be developed for use on the continental shelf off the west coast as a mechanism to reduce bycatch of some critical rockfish species.

The 8,000 square mile John Day Basin is the fourth largest basin in the state. The main stem of the John Day River originates in the Blue Mountains southeast of Prairie City, Oregon, and flows generally westward then northward for approximately 284 miles before discharging into the Columbia River at River Mile (RM) 218, just east of the town of Rufus, Oregon. Title: Pine Hollow - Jackknife Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The assessment area is located in north-central Oregon within the semi-arid Columbia Plateau and the Lower John Day River Basin. The assessment area occupies the southeastern portion of Sherman County and part of the northeastern portion of Wasco County, beginning southeast of the town of Grass Valley and including the towns of Kent and Shaniko. The watershed assessment area is sparsely populated, with an average population density of less than one person per square mile in Sherman County and two per square mile in Wasco County (U.S. Census Bureau 2010).

Abstract -- The Imnaha River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) population has been supplemented with hatchery salmon since the 1982 brood year, when wild Imnaha River adults were first captured and spawned in captivity. This supplementation program has been operated under the auspices of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) program. Data collected from research and monitoring activities are used to design and adapt culture practices to most effectively meet these management objectives. Based on the age structure of hatchery and natural spring Chinook adults from the 1982-1987 brood year returns captured at the Imnaha River weir, there was evidence that age composition differed between hatchery and natural adults (Figure 1). This finding suggested that the Imnaha River hatchery spring Chinook program was failing to meet the objective that genetic and life history characteristics of hatchery Chinook mimic those of wild Chinook.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Shoreside Hake Observation Program: 2006 Annual Report Abstract -- The Shoreside Hake Observation Program (SHOP) was established in 1992 to provide information for monitoring catch in the shoreside component of the directed Pacific hake – also called Pacific whiting – (Merluccius productus) fishery, and for evaluating conservation measures adopted to limit the catch of salmon, other groundfish, and other prohibited species. Though instituted as an experimental full retention monitoring program, it has been continued annually to account for all catch landed at shoreside processors by targeted hake trips; tracking potential discards, and accommodating the landing and disposal of un-sorted catch from these trips until permanent federal regulations can be developed. The SHOP is a cooperative effort between the fishing industry and state and federal management agencies. Participants in the SHOP include mid-water trawlers carrying Exempted Fishing Permits (EFP), designated shoreside processing plants in California, Oregon, and Washington, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). In 1995, the SHOP’s required observation rate was reduced from 50 percent of landings to 10 percent, as studies indicated that fish tickets were a good representation of what was actually landed (ODFW 1995). This lower observation rate allowed for increased collection of biological information (e.g., otoliths, length, weight, sex, and maturity) from Pacific hake and bycatch species such as yellowtail rockfish (Sebastes flavidus), widow rockfish (S. entomelas), yelloweye rockfish (S. ruberrimus), darkblotched rockfish (S. crameri), bocaccio (S. paucispinis), canary rockfish (S. pinniger), sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), Pacific (chub) mackerel (Scomber japonicus), and jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus).

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Spring Chinook Salmon in the Willamette and Sandy Rivers, Progress Reports 2002, F-163-R-07 Abstract -- The Willamette and Sandy rivers support intense recreational fisheries for spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Fisheries in these basins rely primarily on annual hatchery releases of 5–8 million juveniles. Hatchery programs exist in the McKenzie, Middle Fork Willamette, North and South Santiam, Clackamas, and Sandy rivers mainly as mitigation for dams that blocked natural production areas. Some natural spawning occurs in most of the major basins and a few smaller tributaries upstream of Willamette Falls. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted the Wild Fish Management Policy to reduce adverse impacts of hatchery programs on wild native stocks (ODFW 1992a). The main goal of the policy is to protect the genetic diversity of these stocks recognizing that genetic resources are a major component, not only in sustaining wild stocks, but also in perpetuating hatchery programs and the fisheries they support. In the past, hatchery programs and fish passage issues were the focus of spring chinook salmon management in the Willamette and Sandy basins. Limited information was collected on the genetic structure among basin populations, on abundance and distribution of natural spawning, on rearing and migrating of juvenile salmon, or on strategies for reducing risks that large hatchery programs pose for wild salmon populations. This study is being implemented to gather this information. A schematic of the study plan is shown in APPENDIX A. We conducted work in the main-stem Willamette River at Willamette Falls, and in the Middle Fork Willamette, McKenzie, North Santiam, South Santiam, Molalla, Clackamas, and Sandy rivers in 2002. Basin descriptions and background information on management and fish runs can be found in subbasin plans developed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW 1988, ODFW 1992b, ODFW 1992c, and ODFW 1996).
