  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Biological Recovery Criteria for the Oregon Coast Coho Salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit Abstract -- This document outlines biological recovery criteria (also called viability criteria) for the Oregon Coast Coho Salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) as identified in the NOAA Fisheries Service status review for West Coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) (Weitkamp et al. 1995). This report was developed by the Oregon Coast Workgroup (“the workgroup” or “we”) of the Oregon and Northern California Coasts (ONCC) Technical Recovery Team (TRT). The criteria were developed as part of a joint federal and state effort to develop conservation goals for the ESU, and are intended to satisfy both federal and state conservation mandates. In developing these criteria, the workgroup reviewed many documents, including NOAA’s viable salmonid populations (VSP) report (McElhany et al. 2000), the draft reports of several other TRTs, the summary of the Oregon Scientific Workshop on Recovery Criteria (OSL 2002a), and the summary report of the Oregon Joint Interim Task Force on Salmon Recovery (OSL 2002b). In addition, the workgroup has had substantial interactions with staff of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife during its development of viability criteria for the state’s Oregon Coastal Coho Assessment (Chilcote et al. 2005), and considered reviews of that report by the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST 2005) and Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC 2005). We also referred to guidance on ESU-level recovery approaches from the Independent Science Advisory Board (Bilby et al. 2005). The primary purpose of this report is to provide objective and measurable biological criteria for assessing progress toward recovery of the Oregon Coast Coho Salmon ESU. These criteria are also applied to an assessment of the current biological status of the ESU. Complete criteria are not provided for listing or delisting of the ESU under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA), nor is there an evaluation as to whether the ESU should or should not be listed. In addition to evaluating the biological requirements presented here, listing and delisting decisions require evaluations regarding particular listing factors and conservation measures, which are beyond the scope of this report. Thus the biological criteria presented here provide a necessary, but not sufficient, set of criteria to determine the ESA listing status of the ESU.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coastal Coho Production Factors, Progress Report 1982 Abstract -- Job 3 Summary: Our goal is to develop a method to estimate escapement of wild coho salmon spawners to coastal streams within +/- 10% of the true number. No work was undertaken on this job in FY 1982. Funds were used to offset increased costs of Job 4. Job 4 Summary: Our goal is to determine the factors important in limiting the production of wild and hatchery reared coho salmon in Oregon. Tasks for FY 1982: During FY 1982 we planned to: (1) prepare a review paper on past coho release strategies and develop recommendations for changes that may increase coho production from Oregon hatcheries; (2) complete all logistics and implement, the release of three groups of coho in the ocean release experiment; and (3) develop an historical data base of physical oceanographic factors that may influence coho salmon survival and growth. Accomplishments in FY 1982: An information report on coho release strategies was completed (Johnson 1982). The ocean release experiment was conducted in June 1982. We have obtained and tabulated historical records of upwelling indices, sea level measurements, sea surface temperature records, and spring upwelling transition dates.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lake Billy Chinook Fish Management Plan 1990 Abstract -- Lake Billy Chinook was created in 1964 when Portland General Electric Company (PGE) completed construction of Round Butte Dam on the Deschutes River. PGE operates the reservoir and adjoining facilities for electric power production. Situated approximately 8 miles southwest of the city of Madras, the lake has three arms formed by the Metolius, Deschutes, and Crooked rivers with respective lengths of 12, 8.5, and 6 miles. A majority of the adjacent lands are in federal, state and tribal ownership. Nine game fish species are found in Lake Billy Chinook. Of these, kokanee are by far the most abundant and widely distributed game fish species in the reservoir.
