Description
- Abstract: The number of wild coho salmon counted at Marmot Dam on the Sandy River has declined from an average annual return of 1,444 fish in 1960-66 to an average annual return of only 129 fish in 1987-91. In contrast, the total escapement of coho salmon has remained virtually unchanged, averaging 1,447 fish in 1987-91, reflecting an increase in hatchery fish returns. Wild fish currently compose 8.9% of the coho salmon counted at Marmot Dam. A shift in peak time of arrival in November in 1960-66 to a peak time of arrival in October in subsequent years is indicative of the increase in early-run hatchery fish and commensurate decline of late-run wild fish in the run. The loss in production of wild fish is likely the result of competition and introgression with.hatchery fish that have been extensively transplanted above Marmot Dam since 1964.
