This book was released on 2002 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the California Department of Fish and Game concluded that California coho salmon experienced a significant population decline in the 40 to 50 years prior to 2002, and that coho salmon in California, including hatchery stocks, were at six to 15 percent of their abundance during the 1940s, and had declined at least 70% since the 1960s.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is applying for an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit for activities related to the coho program at Iron Gate Hatchery (IGH). The ESA Section 10 application incorporates a Hatchery and Genetic Management Plan (HGMP) developed by CDFW and PacifiCorp. Through implementation of this HGMP, and issuance of the ESA Section 10 permit, the coho program at Iron Gate Hatchery will be operated to conserve listed species. The HGMP covers activities related to the artificial production of coho salmon at IGH for the period 2014-2024. This includes the interim period until mainstem Klamath River dams of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Project No. 2082) are anticipated to be removed (2020) pursuant to the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (K.HSA). Under the HGMP, an active broodstock management plan, based on real-time genetic analysis, will be implemented each year to reduce inbreeding. The broodstock will consist of 20 to 50 percent natural origin coho salmon to increase population diversity and fitness. Hatchery culture practices will be improved to increase egg-to-smolt survival rates. The increase in survival will be achieved by improving egg incubation conditions and covering raceways with netting (completed in 2011) to reduce bird predation on juveniles. Egg incubation conditions will be investigated to identify measures that will further improve survival. There are several potential sources of take associated with the IGH coho salmon program including, take associated with the collection of coho salmon spawners at IGH, incidental take associated with monitoring and evaluation activities to enumerate natural origin and hatchery origin coho spawning escapement in streams associated with the Upper Klamath Population unit, and trapping of juvenile coho in Bogus Creek. These levels of take are not anticipated to increase the risk of extinction or cause jeopardy to any of the coho salmon populations in the action area. These levels of take represent a decrease in the quantity of adult coho salmon being used for broodstock annually, and will provide an overall beneficial effect on the Upper Klamath population unit by allowing more adult coho salmon to spawn naturally. Monitoring and evaluation of information gathered through programs proposed in the HGMP are expected to improve the likelihood for effective application of management measures addressing human-caused factors for decline of the listed coho salmon population. Application of these measures should help protect and increase coho abundance and productivity in the Klamath Basin. Increases in coho salmon abundance and productivity are likely under the HGMP, and will potentially lead to the timely recovery of the population, and subsequent resumption of conservation-based fisheries when viable, self-sustaining coho salmon returns are re-established"--Cover letter summary.

Book excerpt: "PacifCorp Energy is applying to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for an incidental take permit (ITP) under Endangered Species Act Section 10(a)(1)(B) for a 10-year period authorizing the incidental take of Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), which is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The ITP would require implementation of a Habitat Conservation Plan with measures to monitor, mitigate, and minimize effects of PacifiCorp's Klamath Hydroelectric Project on these listed coho salmon for this period. Two alternatives were analyzed in this EA: issuance by NMFS of an ITP for listed Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and the associated implementation of minimization and mitigation measures for coho salmon that would be implemented under an approved HCP (proposed action), or NMFS not issuing an ITP to PacifiCorp (no action alternative). The Proposed Action is likely to result in beneficial effects including improvements to salmonid populations and their habitat in the basin, potential for expanded prey base for fish-eating birds along the Klamath River mainstem, and improvements to employment opportunities for tribal and non-tribal workers in the basin. No significant adverse impacts to the human environment are expected as a result of the proposed action. The No Action alternative would in general not change the effects from those under current conditions, but continued degraded conditions in the Klamath River mainstem would occur with no mitigating actions taken to improve these degraded conditions. The preferred alternative for this EA is the proposed action"--Cover letter summary.

Download or read book California s Salmon and Steelhead written by Alan Lufkin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions upon millions of salmon and steelhead once filled California streams, providing a plentiful and sustainable food resource for the original peoples of the region. But over the years, dams and irrigation diversions have reduced natural spawning habitat from an estimated 6,000 miles to fewer than 300. River pollution has also hit hard at fish populations, which within recent decades have diminished by 80 percent. One species, the San Joaquin River spring chinook, became extinct soon after World War II. Other species are nearly extinct. This volume documents the reasons for the decline; it also offers practical suggestions about how the decline might be reversed. The California salmon story is presented here in human perspective: its broad historical, economic, cultural, and political facets, as well as the biological, are all treated. No comparable work has ever been published, although some of the material has been available for half a century. In the richly varied contributions in this volume, the reader meets Indians whose history is tied to the history of the salmon and steelhead upon which they depend; commercial trollers who see their livelihood and unique lifestyle vanishing; biologists and fishery managers alarmed at the loss of river water habitable by fish and at the effects of hatcheries on native gene pools. Women who fish, conservation-minded citizens, foresters, economists, outdoor writers, engineers, politicians, city youth restoring streambeds—all are represented. Their lives—and the lives of all Californians—are affected in myriad ways by the fate of California's salmon and steelhead.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This final EA describes our evaluation of effects of our proposed issuance of two ESA section 10(a)(1)(A) permits for programs artificially propagating the Snake River fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU). NMFS has conducted this environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in support of evaluating the permit applications under section 10 of the ESA. The EA evaluates the environmental consequences of alternative actions for issuing incidental take permits to WDFW, IDFG, and the BIA for artificial propagation of Snake River fall Chinook salmon. The analysis of alternatives and consequences will inform NMFS's decision regarding issuance of these section 10 permits. The species whose take would be authorized by these permits include the threatened Evolutionarily Significant Units of Snake River fall Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) and Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), the threatened Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Snake River basin steelhead (O. mykiss), and the endangered ESU of Snake River sockeye salmon (O. nerka)"--Executive summary (page 1).
