This book was released on 1994 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration patterns of adult spring chinook salmon above Willamette Falls differed depending on when the fish passed the Falls, with considerable among-fish variability. Early-run fish often terminated their migration for extended periods of time, in association with increased flows and decreased temperatures. Mid-run fish tended to migrate steadily upstream at a rate of 30-40 km/day. Late-run fish frequently ceased migrating or fell back downstream after migrating 10-200 km up the Willamette River or its tributaries; this appeared to be associated with warming water during summer and resulted in considerable mortality. Up to 40% of the adult salmon entering the Willamette River System above Willamette Falls (i.e. counted at the ladder) may die before reaching upriver spawning areas. Up to 10% of the fish passing up over Willamette Falls may fall-back below the Falls; some migrate to the Columbia River or lower Willamette River tributaries. If rearing conditions at hatcheries affect timing of adult returns because of different juvenile development rates and improper timing of smolt releases, then differential mortality in the freshwater segment of the adult migrations may confound interpretation of studies evaluating rearing practices.

Book excerpt: As part of the presupplementation planning, baseline data on the productivity of spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Yakima River have been collected. However, for adult salmonids, data on habitat use, delays in passage at irrigation diversions, migration rates, and substock separation had not been previously collected. In 1991, the National Marine Fisheries Service began a 2-year radio-telemetry study of adult spring chinook salmon in the Yakima River Basin. Specific objectives addressed in this study were: to determine spawning populations' run timing, passage patterns at irrigation diversion dams, and morphometric characteristics to determine where and when substocks become separated; to evaluate fish passage at Yakima River Basin diversion dams including Prosser, Sunnyside, Wapato, Roza, Town Diversion, Easton, Cowiche, and Wapatox Dams; to determine spring chinook salmon migration rates between Yakima River Basin dams, prespawning behavior, temporal distribution, and habitat utilization; to identify spawning distribution and timing of spring chinook salmon; to determine the amount and cause of prespawning mortality of spring chinook salmon; and to evaluate adult fish-handling procedures for the right-bank, adult-trapping facility at Prosser Dam.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The objectives of this study were to determine the basic behavior, distribution, and migration success of adult spring Chinook salmon through the main stem Willamette River and to evaluate their exposure to potentially high water temperatures that may contribute to prespawn mortality. From 2 May through 8 July 2011, we intragastrically radio-tagged 150 Chinook salmon at Willamette Falls Dam and released them back into the fishway upstream from the trap. Almost all (97%) radio-tagged salmon also received an archival temperature logger. An additional 100 salmon were tagged with archival temperature loggers only. Run timing of the run-at-large and the radio-tagged sample was relatively late in 2011 compared to the ten year average and the late timing was associated with high flow and cool temperatures in 2011."--From executive summary (page iii).

Book excerpt: Return to the River will describe a new ecosystem-based approach to the restoration of salmon and steelhead populations in the Columbia River, once one of the most productive river basins for anadromous salmonids on the west coast of North America. The approach of this work has broad applicability to all recovery efforts throughout the northern hemisphere and general applicability to fisheries and aquatic restoration efforts throughout the world. The Pacific Northwest is now embroiled in a major public policy debate over the management and restoration of Pacific salmon. The outcome of the debate has the potential to affect major segments of the region's economy - river transportation, hydroelectric production, irrigated agriculture, urban growth, commercial and sport fisheries, etc. This debate, centered as it is on the salmon in all the rivers, has created a huge demand for information. The book will be a powerful addition to that debate. - A 15 year collaboration by a diverse group of scientists working on the management and recovery of salmon, steelhead trout, and wildlife populations in the Pacific Northwest - Includes over 200 figures, with four-color throughout the book - Discusses complex issues such as habitat degradation, juvenile survival through the hydrosystem, the role of artificial production, and harvest reform

Mann and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adult Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, must pass eight hydroelectric dams and reservoirs and migrate more than 1000 river kilometers to reach spawning grounds in the South Fork Salmon River in central Idaho. Behavior during migration, energy depletion, and ultimately reproductive success may be affected by river conditions (e.g. temperature and flow) and dam operations (e.g. spill) within the migration corridor. In this study we examined the energy use of migrating adult Chinook salmon through the Columbia and Snake Rivers in order to investigate the relationships between initial fish condition, migration experience, and river conditions, and eventual migration and spawning success. As part of this research, we also tested non-lethal methods to estimate adult salmon energy condition."--Preface (page ii).

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For salmonids, the smolting process includes substantial morphological, physiological and behavioral changes all of which must coincide to ensure the greatest chance of survival in the marine environment. Therefore, understanding how environmental parameters influence the onset, duration, and termination of smolting can have substantial management implications. I used historical data and a controlled laboratory experiment to investigate the role of both temperature and flow on the timing of migration in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolts. An Information Theoretic Model Comparison (ITMC) technique was used to correlate 13 years of historical smolt migration data from the Nechako River in central British Columbia, Canada with data on temperature and discharge from the same period. A combination of temperature experience (accumulated thermal units ATU) and flow discharge were best able to describe the observed migration patterns. In addition, ATU consistently performed better than daily mean temperature suggesting that temperature experience plays a larger role in the migration process than a temperature threshold. In a laboratory experiment, temperature manipulation affected growth and development of physiological smolt characteristics. In addition, fish in tanks with increasing temperature showed earlier movement than those in constant temperature tanks. Flow velocity was not found to have an effect on physiological development of smolt characteristics and did not appear to affect timing of migration in the absence of increasing temperature. However, velocity did influence the pattern of migration, since the presence of a strong, directional flow resulted in a well defined migration event with a clear increase, peak and decrease in movement regardless of the temperature manipulation. Alternatively, fish in experimental tanks without increased flow showed either pulses of movement or no clearly defined movement period. A model similar to the approach for the historical data was used to assess the mo.
