  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lower Snake River Compensation Plan; Oregon Spring Chinook Salmon Evaluation Studies - 2010 Annual Progress Report Abstract -- This annual progress report summarizes spring Chinook salmon monitoring data collected by ODFW for the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) facilities in 2010. Also summarized are the associated adult broodstock monitoring data collected in the Grande Ronde Basin by our co-managers, the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) and Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR). The main objectives of this report are to document and evaluate spring Chinook salmon culture performance for hatchery programs and achievement of management objectives in the Imnaha and Grande Ronde river basins (Our co-managers, CTUIR and NPT, have specific program goals for Chinook returns to Catherine Creek, the Upper Grande Ronde River, Lookingglass Creek, and the Lostine River, that are discussed and evaluated in reports prepared by each co-management agency). Overall, these data are used to modify culture practices, as needed, in order to optimize egg-to-smolt survival, smolt quality, and smolt-to-adult survival rate, and track spawning in nature by hatchery-reared adults. This report provides information on rearing and release operations for the 2008 brood year of juvenile Chinook salmon smolts, the collection of eggs for the 2010 brood year, numbers and characteristics of adult Chinook salmon in the 2010 return year, the 2010 spawning year at Lookingglass Fish Hatchery and in nature, recruit summary and age composition of the 2005 brood year, and bacterial kidney disease (BKD) monitoring.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Willamette Biological Opinion Hatchery Research 2002-2005 Final Report Abstract -- RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The number of hatchery Chinook spawning with wild fish upstream of Leaburg Dam should be reduced. The percentage of carcasses from hatchery fish in spawning areas upstream of the dam averaged over 30% in 2001–2004, with percentages exceeding 60% in the South Fork McKenzie River and areas downstream. The number of hatchery adults could be reduced by reducing the number of hatchery smolts released in the McKenzie River, by excluding hatchery adults from passing Leaburg Dam, by increasing the percentage of returning hatchery fish that home to the hatchery, or by a combination of these actions. 2. The number of hatchery and naturally produced Chinook spawning naturally, the number and distribution of redds and age at return of naturally produced Chinook should be determined annually for each of the Chinook populations in the Upper Willamette ESU. 3. Video recording systems should be installed at Bennett dams on the North Santiam and at Lebanon Dam on the South Santiam to count adipose clipped and non fin-clipped Chinook, and winter steelhead. 4. The extent and causes of pre-spawning mortality of Chinook in the North Santiam, South Santiam and Middle Fork Willamette rivers should be determined. High pre-spawning mortality in these rivers could limit natural production. 5. Rearing and release methods for hatchery spring Chinook smolts should be evaluated and modified to reduce straying by returning adults to streams other than where they were released. Rearing and release strategies for hatchery Chinook should be evaluated (e.g., outmigration and use of rearing habitat) for potential effects on wild juvenile chinook. 6. The number of naturally produced Chinook incorporated into hatchery broodstocks should be monitored by collecting and analyzing otoliths of non fin-clipped fish. 7. The number of Chinook fry consumed by hatchery rainbow trout in the McKenzie River could be substantial and needs to be determined. 8. Restricting the trout season in Foster Reservoir to late April or late May through October and delaying releases of hatchery trout would better protect wild steelhead smolts, and would be consistent with regulations for North Fork Reservoir (Clackamas River) where there is a fishery for stocked trout and naturally produced steelhead smolts are also present. 9. Samples should be collected from wild steelhead smolts in the North Santiam and South Santiam to determine the extent of natural reproduction by summer steelhead and genetic introgression with native winter steelhead.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Research Project Oregon; Implementation of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) Protocol in the John Day Subbasin of the Columbia Plateau Province - Annual Technical Report 2008 Abstract -- The Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP), in their guidance on monitoring, strongly recommended that the region move away from index surveys and embrace probabilistic sampling for most population and habitat monitoring. 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.
