Abstract

The seaward migration of salmonid smolts was monitored by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) at four sites on the Snake-Columbia River system. Sampling sites were Lower Granite, McNary, John Day and Bonneville Dams, and also included collection of data from NMFS research units sampling the bypass system in powerhouse No. 1 and No. 2 (PH No. 1, PH No. 2) at Bonneville Dam. Data from these sites provided information mainly for evaluation of smolt survival, travel time, migration timing and for water budget and spill management as required by Fish Passage Managers (FPM) and analysts of the FPC. To secure these data, it was necessary to monitor and index smolt passage which involved: (1) systematic sampling of the smolt migration from late March through July at Lower Granite Dam, late March through late October at McNary Dam, April through November at John Day Dam, and generally mid to late March through late November, depending on the sampling device(s) at Bonneville Dam; (2) recording brands; and (3) daily reporting of all pertinent fish capture and condition data, as well as dam operations and river flow data for passage estimates and travel indices to the FPC Fish Passage Data Information Systemmore » (FPDIS). 7 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.« less

Monitoring of Downstream Salmon and Steelhead Trout at Federal Hydroelectric Facilities, 1985 Annual Report.

Technical Report Johnsen, Richard C ; Ranck, Carol L

Juvenile salmonids were monitored on their seaward migration at three key sites on the Snake-Columbia River system by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This was a part of the total monitoring effort in the Water Budget Center's (WBC) smolt monitoring program on Columbia Basin salmonid stocks. In addition to the three key sites, the NMFS also initiated a sampling effort at bower Monumental Dam. Funding was provided by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The major sampling sites were at Lower Granite, McNary, and John Day Dams: sampling at these sites provided data primarily for evaluation of smolt survival, travelmore »« less

The seaward migration of salmonid smolts was monitored by the National marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) at two sites on the Columbia River in 1992. The NMFS Smolt Monitoring Project is part of a larger Smolt Monitoring Program to index Columbia Basin juvenile salmonied stocks. It is coordinated by the Fish Passage Center (FPC) for the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Agencies and Tribes. Its purpose is to facilitate fish passage through reservoirs and at dams by providing FPC with timely smolt migration data used for flow and spill management. Data is also used for travel time, migration timing and relativemore »« less

This project is a part of the continuing Smolt Monitoring Program (SMP) to monitor Columbia Basin salmonid stocks coordinated by the Fish Passage Center (FPC). The SMP provides timely data to the Fish Passage Managers for in season flow and spill management for fish passage and post-season analysis by the FPC for travel time, relative magnitude and timing of the smolt migration. Sampling sites were McNary, John Day and Bonneville Dams under the SMP, and the Dalles Dam under the Fish Spill Memorandum of Agreement'' for 1989.
