Title:
J: 159 - Monitor status & trends of natural summer steelhead & Chinook salmon
Description:
Monitor and assess the status and trends of adult Chinook salmon and summer steelhead abundance, life history, returns to the Umatilla River, and productivity by hatchery- and naturally-reared origin in cooperation with CTUIR.

Adult abundance will be determined as the sum of adult returns to Three Mile Falls Dam (RM 3.7), harvest in the ocean, Columbia Basin, and Umatilla River below Three Mile Falls Dam, and strays.

The Umatilla Passage Operations Project enumerates adult returns to Three Mile Falls Dam by species, hatchery-natural origin, and adult age class by trapping fish that ascend the ladder. Fish passage is monitored by video when the trap is not operating. We receive data on adults trapped and estimate the composition of the un-trapped return by species, sex, age class, and hatchery/natural origin for summer steelhead, using the trap data from the periods immediately before and after each video monitoring period.

Strays and harvest outside of the Umatilla River are estimated from coded-wire tag recoveries from fisheries and adults recovered at other terminal locations. Harvest in the Umatilla River below Three Mile Falls Dam is estimated from creel surveys. We monitor adult life history characteristics including age structure, sex ratios, and length.

Adult-to-adult productivity will be measured as progeny-per-parent ratios using spawner abundance data and estimates of total adult production resulting from each brood year.
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Deliverable Specification:
Acquire progeny-per-parent ratios of naturally spawning spring Chinook salmon from CTUIR. Calculate progeny-per-parent ratios for natural steelhead using data from ODFW and CTUIR projects.

Data will be entered into spreadsheet and trends will be assessed through time using general linear models and/or spectrum analysis.
