Indirect Effects of Impoundment on Migrating Fish: Temperature Gradients in Fish Ladders Slow Dam Passage by Adult Chinook Salmon and Steelhead
Thermal layering in reservoirs upstream from hydroelectric dams can create temperature gradients in fishways used by upstream migrating adults. In the Snake River, Washington, federally-protected adult salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) often encounter relatively cool water in dam tailraces and lower ladder sections and warmer water in the upstream portions of ladders. Using radiotelemetry, we exami...
متن کاملFactors influencing the survival of outmigrating juvenile salmonids through multiple dam passages: an individual‐based approach
Substantial declines of Pacific salmon populations have occurred over the past several decades related to large-scale anthropogenic and climatic changes in freshwater and marine environments. In the Columbia River Basin, migrating juvenile salmonids may pass as many as eight large-scale hydropower projects before reaching the ocean; however, the cumulative effects of multiple dam passages are l...
متن کاملMorphological Features Used to Identify Chinook Salmon Sex during Fish Passage
We compared several external morphological features for determining sex of adult fall-run chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) migrating to spawning grounds in the Central Valley of California. Adult fish carcasses of known sex were measured at fish hatcheries or during angler surveys. These data were used to develop predictive morphometric discriminant function models for potential incor...
متن کاملEffect of spill on adult salmon passage delay at Columbia River and Snake River dams
Spill, used to assist the downstream passage of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and steelhead (O. mykiss) at eight dams in the Columbia/Snake River hydrosystem may delay the upstream passage of the adults. To evaluate the potential effects of spill on adult passage we evaluated the historical relationship between the day-to-day variations of spill and upstream fish passage a...
متن کاملUse of Electromyogram Telemetry to Assess Swimming Activity of Adult Spring Chinook Salmon Migrating Past a Columbia River Dam
—Electromyogram (EMG) radiotelemetry was used to estimate the swim speeds of spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha migrating upstream past a Columbia River dam. Electrodes from EMG transmitters were surgically implanted in the red muscle of fish captured at Bonneville Dam, and output from the tags was calibrated to defined swim speeds for each fish in a tunnel respirometer. The fish we...
