Book Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Juvenile Salmonid Passage and Distribution at Lookout Point Dam 2010

Download or read book Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Juvenile Salmonid Passage and Distribution at Lookout Point Dam 2010 written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory evaluated juvenile salmonid passage and distribution at Lookout Point Dam (LOP) on the Middle Fork Willamette River for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (USACE), to provide data to support decisions on long-term measures to enhance downstream passage at LOP and others dams in USACE's Willamette Valley Project. This study was conducted in response to the listing of Upper Willamette River Spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Upper Willamette River steelhead (O. mykiss) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. We conducted a hydroacoustic evaluation of juvenile salmonid passage and distribution at LOP during February 2010 through January 2011. Findings from this 1 year of study should be applied carefully because annual variation can be expected due to variability in adult salmon escapement, egg-to-fry and fry-to-smolt survival rates, reservoir rearing and predation, dam operations, and weather. Fish passage rates for smolt-size fish (> H"0 mm and

Book Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Juvenile Salmonid Passage at The Dalles Dam Spillway 2006

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine detailed vertical, horizontal, intensive, and diel distributions of juvenile salmonid passage at the spillway at The Dalles Dam from April 12 to July16, 2006. These data are being applied in the Spillway Improvements Program to position release pipes for direct injury and mortality studies and to provide baseline data for assessment of the vortex suppression devices scheduled for deployment in 2007. We estimated fish distributions from hydroacoustic data collected with split-beam transducers arrayed across Bays 1 through 9 and 14. Spill at ~20 kcfs per bay was bulked at Bays 1-6, although the other bays were opened at times during the study to maintain a 40% spill percentage out of total project discharge. The vertical distribution of fish was skewed toward the surface during spring, but during summer, passage peaked at 2-3 m above the spillway ogee. Fish passage rates (number per hour) and fish densities (number per kcfs) were highest at Bay 6, followed by passage at Bay 5. This result comports with spillway horizontal distribution data from radio telemetry and hydroacoustic studies in 2004. The vertical and horizontal distribution of fish passage at bays 5 and 6 was much more variable during spring than summer and more variable at bay 5 than bay 6. Diel distribution data revealed that fish passage was highest during 0600-0700 h in spring; otherwise passage was reasonably uniform on a diel basis. This study substantiates the purpose of the spillway vortex suppression device to re-distribute downstream migrants away from Bay 6 toward Bays 1-5.

Book Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Fish Passage Through Bonneville Dam in 2005

Download or read book Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Fish Passage Through Bonneville Dam in 2005 written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requested that the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) conduct fish-passage studies at Bonneville Dam in 2005. These studies support the Portland District's goal of maximizing fish-passage efficiency (FPE) and obtaining 95% survival for juvenile salmon passing Bonneville Dam. Major passage routes include 10 turbines and a sluiceway at Powerhouse 1 (B1), an 18-bay spillway, and eight turbines and a sluiceway at Powerhouse 2 (B2). In this report, we present results of two studies related to juvenile salmonid passage at Bonneville Dam. The studies were conducted between April 16 and July 15, 2005, encompassing most of the spring and summer migrations. Studies included evaluations of (1) Project fish passage efficiency and other major passage metrics, and (2) smolt approach and fate at B1 Sluiceway Outlet 3C from the B1 forebay. Some of the large appendices are only presented on the compact disk (CD) that accompanies the final report. Examples include six large comma-separated-variable (. CSV) files of hourly fish passage, hourly variances, and Project operations for spring and summer from Appendix E, and large Audio Video Interleave (AVI) files with DIDSON-movie clips of the area upstream of B1 Sluiceway Outlet 3C (Appendix H). Those video clips show smolts approaching the outlet, predators feeding on smolts, and vortices that sometimes entrained approaching smolts into turbines. The CD also includes Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Files (PDF) of the entire report and appendices.

Book Hydroacoustic Evaluation of Juvenile Salmon Passage at the Dalles Dam 1999

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compares hydroacoustics-based estimates of fish passage and passage metrics for two spill treatments (30- and 64-percent spills) and concomitant powerhouse operations at The Dalles Dam during the 1000 spring and summer juvenile salmon passage seasons. Data were analyzed for significant differences (Wilcoxen Signed-Rank Tests, alpha = 0.05) in daytime nighttime, and total daily fish passage and passage metrics over six 3-day treatment blocks in spring and summer. Horizontal distributions of fish passage at spillway and powerhouse and vertical distributions of fish at sluiceway and powerhouse are presented by treatment and time of day for each season. Project fish-passage efficiency (FPE) and spill efficiency were significantly higher with the higher spill and lower powerhouse generation treatment at night but not during days in both seasons. Sluiceway efficiency was higher with the lower spill and higher generation treatment at night in spring and both night and day in summer. Spill passage was not significantly different during day or night in spring but was higher with the higher spill treatment during summer nights (but not days). Sluiceway passage was higher during spring days and nights during the 30-percent spill than during the 64-percent spill but not different during days or nights in summer. Turbine passage was higher with the lower spill treatment at night in both seasons. Results should be considered in light of the confounding effects of higher spill vs. lower generation and the converse, which was inherent in the experimental design. Statistical methods, a detailed evaluation of the 'acoustic screen model', and an evaluation of two methods for estimating passage at unsampled spill bays are presented in the appendixes.
