Description
- Abstract: The Willamette and Sandy rivers support intense recreational fisheries for spring
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Fisheries in these basins rely primarily
on annual hatchery releases of 5-8 million juveniles. Hatchery programs exist in the
McKenzie, Middle Fork Willamette, North and South Santiam, Clackamas, and Sandy
rivers mainly as mitigation for dams that blocked natural production areas. Some
natural spawning occurs in most of the major basins and a few smaller tributaries
upstream of Willamette Falls.
The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted the Native Fish Conservation
Policy (ODFW 2003a) and the Hatchery Management Policy (ODFW 2003b) in part to
reduce adverse impacts of hatchery programs on wild native stocks. The Native Fish
Conservation Policy recognizes that naturally produced native fish are the foundation for
long-term sustainability of native species and hatchery programs, and the fisheries they
support.
In the past, hatchery programs and fish passage issues were the focus of spring
Chinook salmon management in the Willamette and Sandy basins. Limited information
was collected on the genetic structure among basin populations, on abundance and
distribution of natural spawning, on rearing and migrating of juvenile salmon, or on
strategies for reducing risks that large hatchery programs pose for wild salmon
populations. This study is being implemented to gather this information. We conducted
work in the main-stem Willamette River at Willamette Falls, and in the Middle Fork
Willamette, McKenzie, North Santiam, South Santiam, Molalla, Clackamas, and Sandy
rivers in 2004-2005. Task headings below cross reference the study plan outlined in
APPENDIX A. This report covers tasks that were worked on in late 2004 through early
fall 2005, and summarizes data from 1996-2004.
