2.0 ABsrRAcr

The smelt outmigration was monitored at wapatox on the Naches

River and Prosser on the lower Yakima. The spring outmigration at

Wapatox was estimated to be 16,141 smolts. The 1987 spring

outmigration of wild spring chinook from the Yakima Basin was

estimated to be 251,975 smolts at Prosser.

The survival from egg to smelt was calculated using the 1985

redd counts and the 1987 smolt outmigration at Prosser. The

estimated survival was 4.16%, which gives a mean egg to srnolt

survival over four years of 6.32%.

In 1987 a total of 3,683 adult and 335 jack spring chinook

salmon returning to the Yakima River were counted at Prosser fish

ladder. This gives a total of 4,018 salmon returning to Prosser

Dam. The median dates of passage were May 12 and May 16 for

adults and jacks respectively. AIJ additional 372 fish were

estimated to have been caught in the Yakima River subsistence

dipnet fishery below Horn Rapids and Prosser Dams. Therefore,

total return to the Yakima system was 4,390 spring chinook salmon.

Spring chinook were counted at Roza Dam from May 1 to

September 30, 1987. Passage at Roza Dam was 1,610 adult and 67

jack spring chinook for a total of 1,677 wild fish. The median

dates of passage at Roza Dam were May 29 and May 26 for spring

chinook adults and jacks respectively.

The smolt to adult (Ssa) survival was calculated based on

the 1983 smelt outmigration estimated at Prosser and the 1984

return of jacks (3 year old fish) the 1985 return of four year old

adults, and the 1986 return of five year old fish to the Yakima

River. It was estimated that 6,012 wild three, four, and five

year old fish returned from an estimated smolt outmigration of

135,548 fish in 1983. This gives an estimated survival from snolt

to adult of 4.4%.

The smolt to adult survival for the 1984 smolt

outmigration was 5.3% with 423 jacks returning in 1985, 5,163 four

year old adults returning in 1986, and 983 five year old fish

returning in 1987 fran an estimated 123,732 smolts in 1984.

Spring chinook adults from fourteen different hatchery

release groups were recovered in 1987. A total of 211 coded wire

tags were recovered and these were expanded to an estimated 253

returning hatchery fish in 1987. Nine of these fish were jacks.

3.0 INTRODUCTION

The population of Yakima River spring chinook salmon

(Qncorhvnchus tshawvtscha) has been drastically reduced from

historic levels reported to be as high as 250,000 (Snoker, 1956).

This reduction is the result of a series of problems including

mainstem Columbia dams; dams within the Yakima itself; severely

reduced flcws due to irrigation diversions; outmigrant loss in

irrigation canals; increased thermal and sediment loading; and

overfishing. Despite these problems, the escapement of spring

chinook to the Yakima River has continued at levels ranging from

166 to 9,442 since 1957.

In October, 1982, the Bonneville Power Administration

contracted the Yakirra Indian Nation to develop methods to increase

production of spring chinook in the Yakima System. The Yakima

Nation's current enhancement policy attempts to maintain the

genetic integrity of the spring chinook stock native to the Yakti

Basin. Relatively small numbers of hatchery fish have been

released into the basin in past years. Data from the Wenatchee

System indicate a return rate from hatchery smolts of less than

.25% (Mullan, 1982). Return rates from the current Yakima study

smolt releases are .07%. These low return rates indicate that few

fish would have returned from these early hatchery releases. Thus

the genetic input from hatchery fish into Yakima Basin stocks is

probably negligible.

The goal of this study is to develop data that will be used

to present management alternatives for Yakima River spring

Page 16: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

chinook. The study has five major objectives. The first

objective is to determine the distribution, abundance and survival

of wild Yakima River spring chinook. Naturally produced

populations are being studied to determine if these runs can be

sustained in the face of present harvest and environmental

conditions. Survival through each life stage is being evaluated in

an attempt to determine limitations to natural production in the

basin. Survival to emergence studies are being conducted to

determine survival through the incubation stage. Analysis of the

relationship between survival to&emergence and gravel substrate

quality is being undertaken. Seining at selected sites and

electroshocking surveys have been conducted to evaluate

distribution and abundance of juvenile fish. Snolt outmigrations

are monitored at the Wapatox juvenile trap on the Mches River and

at the Prosser juvenile trap on the mainstem Yakima River. Adult

returns are determined by monitoring the Yakima Tribal dipnet

fishery, counting adults at Presser and Roza fish ladders, and

through spawning ground surveys. Physical parameters such as

water temperatures and stream flow are monitored throughout the

basin.

The second major objective of this study is to determine the

relative effectiveness of different methods of hatchery

supplementation. This objective is divided into three

sub-objectives:

a) Determination of optimal release time Snolt releases are

the norm, but fingerlings were released in June, September, and

November of 1984 and 1985. Downstream survival of these smolts

Page 17: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

was evaluated and adult returns are being monitored.

b) Determination of optimal manner of release In the past,

fish have either been transported from a hatchery and released

into the Yakirna River, or raised in rearing ponds. These methods,

as well as the use of acclimation ponds, will be evaluated.

c) Determination of optimal release stocks Smelts were

released in 1986 and 1987 as hatchery x hatchery, hatchery X wild,

and wild X wild crosses to determine the effect of genetic makeup

on the success of various releases. Success will be measured as

the number of adults returning, as well as whether spawning timing

is similar to the wild stock.

Adverse interactions between hatchery releases and wild stocks

were minimized by scatter-planting hatchery fish so densities in

the river remained low enough to minimize competition for food and

space.

The last three major objectives of the study are:

3) to locate and define areas in the watershed which may be used

for the rearing of spring chinook;

4) to define strategies for enhancing natural production of

spring chinook in the Yakima River; and

5) to determine the physical and biological limitations on

These objectives will be met at the end of the study when the

database is complete.

This project is a multi-year undertaking that will evaluate

different management and enhancement strategies. At the

developed that can be used to determine how best to enhance the

runs of spring chinook in the Yakima Basin. Annual reports were

presented for 1983 (Wasserman and Hubble, 1983), 1984 (Wasserman,

Hubble, and Watson, 1985), 1985 (Fast, Hubble, and Watson, 1986)

and 1986 (Fast, Hubble, and Watson, 1986). A detailed description

of methods and materials used in this study can be found in these

earlier reports. This current report is concerned with new

findings in 1987 and some re-evaluation of previous data in light

of current information.

4.0 DESCRIPTION OF SIUDY AREA

The Yakima River is located in central Washington and flows

217 miles from its headwaters in the Cascade Mountains (elevation

2,448 ft) to the Columbia River near Richland at river mile (RM)

335 (Figure 1). The Yakima River Basin drains 6,155 square miles

of the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Kittitas and Yakima

Counties. The Yakima River flows east and south through the

Kittitas Valley from its ruggedly glaciated headwaters. south of

the valley the river cuts through Manastash and Urntanum ridges in

a deep canyon. The river enters the middle valley above Yakima

through a gap cut in Selah Ridge and leaves through Union Gap in

Ahtanum Ridge. Rattlesnake Hills, crossing eastern Yakima and

northern Benton Counties, and the Horse Heaven Hills to the south

are prominent features bordering the lower river in its 80 mile

reach from Union Gap to the Columbia River. The Yakirna River

enters the Columbia River near Richland at an elevation of 300

feet.

The major tributaries, with the exception of Satus and

Toppenish Creeks, enter the river above the city of Yakima. The

Naches River is the largest tributary, entering the Yakima at RM

101 and extending 51 miles to the junction of the Bumping and

Little Naches Rivers. The Naches River drains an area of 1,106

square miles. Other important tributaries of the Naches include

the American and Tieton Rivers and Rattlesnake Creek.

Important tributaries in the upper Yakima are the Teanaway

and Cle Elum Rivers. Numerous creeks, including Manastash,

Taneum, and Swauk, flow into the Yakima in the Kittitas Valley.

The climate of the Yakima Basin varies from wet-alpine in the

Cascade Mountains to semi-arid conditions at the lower elevations.

The crest of the mountains receive 80 to 140 inches of

precipitation par year while approximately one third of the basin

receives ten inches or less. Summar temperatures average 55 F in

the mountains and 82 F in the valleys. During the winter monthly

maximum temperatures range from 25 F to 40 F and low temperatures

range from -20 F to -25 F.

The Yakti River Basin produoes 3.5 million acre feet average

annual runoff, unregulated. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's

Yakima Irrigation Project has transformed the semi-arid region

into a productive agricultural region. Approximately 500,000

acres are presently under irrigation, consuming 2.25 million acre

feet each year. There are numerous dams and irrigation diversions

on the river. These include Horn Rapids, Prosser, Sunnyside,

Wapato, Roza, and Easton. A screening structure is associated

with each of these dams except at Easton. For an extensive

description of the Yakima Basin, see Bryant and Parkhurst (1950).

In the Yakima system, reservoir storage acts to regulate

flows. Man-made Kachess, Keechelus, and Cle Elum Lakes in the

upper Yakima and Bumping and Rimrock Lakes on the Naches system

are the major storage sites. These storage areas supplement flows

during the irrigation season (March-October) and store water in

the winter. Irrigation and power diversions generally reduce

Page 22: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

flows in the lower sections of the Yakima River. Sunnyside and

wapato dams near rivermile 108 divert approximately one-half the

total river flow at each site into irrigation diversions in the

summer and fall. Presser diversion removes approximately 1,400

cfs for irrigation and power production throughout most of the

year. Due to the large irrigation diversions at Presser and

Parker, flows drop dramatically in the lower river from June to

October. Approximately 50% of the flows withdrawn at diversion

sites re-enter the river downstream after being used for

irrigation or hydropower.

Prior to 1980, flaws remained high on the spawning grounds in

September and October for irrigation purposes. Many fish that

spawned at this time deposited their eggs in shallclw water near

the bank. When flows were decreased at the end of the irrigation

season, these redds were often dewatered. Following court action

in 1981 the irrigation flows were decreased in the Yakima branch

during the first week of September so that this problem would not

continue. To offset the reduction of flows from the upper Yakima

in September, flow is increased in the Naches River mainly from

Rimrock Reservoir releases. This increased flow enters the Naches

River below the areas where most spring chinook spawning occurs so

it is not believed to impact spawning success.

5.1.1 SURVIVALJ 'IO EMEFX2ENCE SIUDIES

5.1.1.1 Fry Trapping

In the fall of 1986 a total of seven spring chinook redds

were selected to be capped for survival from egg to fry studies.

The females associated with each redd were collected and the

length fecundity model developed in 1986 was used to estimate the

number of eggs deposited in each redd. The redds were capped in

February of 1987 and early emerging fry were collected and

counted. However, due to extremely high runoff during the spring

snowmelt the traps were not checked for a period of approximately

six weeks. When the flood waters receded the emergence nets were

clogged with sand and gravel and the live boxes of several traps

had been lost due to high flus. Due to the incomplete record of

fry emergence in 1987 no analysis or reporting of survival to

emergence data will be included in this annual report.

5.1.2 WINIER DISTRlBDTION STUDIES

Electroshocking for juvenile spring chinook was a>nducted

October 23 through January 8, from RM 181 downstream to RM 20 on

the Yakima River. The purpose was to determine; (1) winter

habitat selection by jwenile spring chinook, and (2) distribution

of branded wild spring chinook that had been released atwapatox

smelt trap (RM 17) on the Naches River during the fall.

A Smith-Root SR-14 electroshocker was used for collection.

Sampling sites ranged from l/2 mile in length to several miles.

General sampling proceedures consisted of mwing downstream with

the current in a zig-zag pattern between the stream bank and the

thalwag.

Fish collected were anesthetized with -222. Fork lengths

were recorded from all fish. Fish were checked for brands and

then were returned to the river after recovery. A general

description of the habitat type in which fish were found was

recorded for each sampling location.

5.1.3 PROSSER SMOLT TRAP

Presser smolt trap was operated continuously from March 9 to

July 31, 1987. Presser trap operates from a bypass pipe that

shunts fish from rotary drum screens in Chandler Canal back to the

mainstem Yakima River. In 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 trapping

efficiency (the percentage of outmigrants passing Prosser Dam

diverted into the trap) was calculated via a series of releases of

marked fish. The statistical methodology for efficiency

calculations w&s evaluated by Douglas Chapman of the University of

Washington Center for Quantitative Science. A detailed

description of the evaluation process can be found in Appendix B

of the 1986 BPA annual report. The basic procedure was as

follows. Once each week, fish captured in the trap during the

night were cold-branded. TWO groups were branded differently, with

one group released two miles upstream of the canal intake, and the

other in the canal. Efficiency (Ei) was based on the recapture

rate of branded fish as follows:

Ei = CriRri (cCi/Rci)

where Ei = fraction of fish diverted into the canal in the ithexperiment;

Rci = number released directly into the canal in theith experiment;

Rri = number released directly into the riverin theithexperiment;

%i = number recaptured from the canal releasein the ithexperiment;

and Cri = number recaptured from the river release in theithexperiment.

During the 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 spring chinook smelt

migrations a total of 68 separate efficiency tests were performed.

11

A relationship was developed between the combined 1984-87

efficiency data and river discharge. This relationship was then

used to estimate the total number of jwenile fish passing Prosser

dam in each of the years the trap was operating. The confidence

intervals for the calculated total smelt passage for each year was

estimated from a linearized form of the logistic equation Y =

l/l+~(-A+BX). Lengths, weights and scales were taken from random

samples of all species and release groups on a daily basis. In

addition unbranded ad-clipped hatchery spring chinook were

sacrificed for coded wire tag analysis on a daily basis.

5.1.4 WAPAOX SMOLT TRAP

The purpose of Wapatox smolt trap is to monitor the spring

chinook smolt outmigration in the spring and the pre-smolt

outmigration the rest of the year from the Naches subbasin.

Wapatox smolt trap is located on the Naches River at RM 17, just

downstream from the confluence of the Tieton and Naches Rivers

(see Figure 1). The trap is constructed on the Wapatox by-pass

canal. Fish entering the canal are shunted into a by-pass pipe

(culvert) by a series of rotating drum screens across the

diversion canal.

The 1986 fall trapping of spring chinook pre-smelts ceased

December 1, 1986 when the screens were removed from Wapatox

Diversion Canal. Wapatox smolt trap began operation on April 1,

1987 when the rotary drum screens were put into place. The trap

was normally checked at least 5 times per week and more often

during peak migration periods. Only salmonid species were

enumerated. Fish were anesthetized with MS-222 and fork lengths

and weights were recorded.

Test releases were made to determine trap efficiency as an

empirical function of the percent discharge diverted into the

canal (P.D.C.). Three successful tests were conducted using both

spring chinook and hatchery coho. The P.D.C. ranged from 16.7% to

28.6% over the coarse of the three tests. Canal test fish were

released at the head of the canal which is approximately 400

meters from the screens. River test fish were released

approximately 1+/2 mile upstream to the dam. Refer to the 1986 BPA

13

Page 28: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

annual report (Appendix B) for an indepth discussion on

calculation of the trap efficiency.

The P.D.C. efficiency data from the three tests were fitted

to a linear equation. The resulting trap efficiency equation was

used to estimate daily smolt outmigration. Fall and summer

outmigration estimates were calculated, as in previous years,

assuming that trap efficinecy was directly correlated to P.D.C.

This methodolgy was used for estimation of the summer and fall

outmigation because the P.D.C. Is were generally outside of the

tested range.

When the trap was inoperable, an estimate of the daily catch

was made by interpolation of daily catches preceding and following

these periods.

5.1.5 ADULT REXURNS

Adult spring chinook salmon harvested below Presser in the

1987 Yakima Tribal ceremonial dipnet fishery were monitored under

the BIA 638 contract.

The Prosser and Roza Dam adult fish oounting stations were

monitored in 1987. Counting at Prosser began April 1 and

continued through September. Roza Dam was monitored from May 1

through September 30. Water clarity at Roza Dam was such that

fish swimming over the counting board could be visually examined

for the presence or absence of an adipose fin. All

adipose-clipped fish were collected in a second trap and

sacrificed to recover the coded wire tags.

Spawning ground surveys were inititated on the American River

in mid-July under a contract from the U.S. Canada Treaty. The

Yakima Indian Nation was the lead agency under a contract from the

Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. Spawning ground

surveys were conducted throughout each reach of spawning area once

each week. All carcasses were examined for adipose fins, and fork

length and mid-eye to hypural plate length were recorded. Scale

samples were taken, and gonads were examined to determine sex and

egg retention in females. mllawing examination the tail of each

fish was removed so it would not be examined more than once.

5.1.6 ESIXMATES OF SUF'WVAL 'IRROUGHVAEUCXlSLIFE STAGES

5.1.6.1 Egg to fry:

As previously discussed, survival from egg deposition to

emergence was not canpleted in 1987. Total egg deposition was

calculated as mean fecundity of Yakima River f&es (based on the

length fecundity model) multiplied by the number of redds located

on the spawning grounds.

The total number of fry produced (F) was calculated as:

F = mean fecundity of Yakima River spawners x number of redds

X survival from egg deposition to esnergence.

5.1.6.2 Egg to Snolt:

Survival from egg to smelt (Gs) was calculated as:

ses =estimated number of smolts at Prosser

total. egg deposition for year class.

5.1.6.3 Fry to Snolt:

Survival from fry to snolt (Sfs) was estimated as:

Sfs = number of smolts estimated to Dass Presserfry for year class

16

Estimates of egg deposition and fry production were made for

1981 to 1987 based on redd counts from spawning ground surveys.

Survival from egg to smolt and from fry to smelt were based on

1981, 82, 83, 84, and 85 redd counts and 1983, 84, 85, 86, and 87

smelt outmigration estimates at Presser.

5.1.6.4 Snolt to Adult:

The complete smolt to adult survival (Ssa) of wild spring

chinook salmon in the Yakima systemwas calculated from the 1983

and 1984 smelt outmigration estimated at Presser and the return of

jacks (3 years old fish), four year old adults, and five year old

adults corresponding to each years smelt run. The jack and four

year old adults (two ocean fish) returning in 1986 and 1987

respectively, from the 1985 smelt outmigration were also analysed

for this report.

PART2

5.2 - OPERATIONS

5.2.1 CUTPLANTING STUDIES

5.2.1.1 Snolt Releases

The effectiveness of hatchery-reared "native" (wild x wild)

and "hybrid" (wild x hatchery) vs. "hatchery" (hatchery x

hatchery) smolts was assessed by transporting three such groups to

Mary's pond (RM 192 on the Yakima River) and allowing them

immediate volitional release. Fish were transported from

Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery and stocked into the pond over

the period March 19 through March 23, 1987. Release began April

14, 1987. Similar releases were made from Mary's pond in 1986.

A second group of hatchery x hatchery smelts was transported from

Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery and released directly into the

upper Yakima River (12 sites between RM 155 and 200) on April 13,

1987. All fish released in 1987 were coded-wire tagged, and

approximately 13% of the pond fish and 12.6% of the fish released

directly into the river were freeze branded.

Counts of branded hatchery smolts captured at Prosser smelt

trap were used to evaluate freshwater survival of both groups of

fish. Based on brand recoveries alone the relative survival of

each group was calculated. Total estimated passage of each group

yielded absolute survival rate estimates to Prosser. Snolt to

adult return rates of these two groups will be determined from the

1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990 captures of tagged fish in the ocean,

mainstem Columbia River fisheries, the tribal dipnet fishery on

the Yakima River, collections at Roza Dam, and from carcass

recoveries on the spawning grounds.

5.2.2 BROOD SIWK EVALUATIONS

Hatchery spring chinook introduced into the Yakima River from

1958 to 1987 have come from numerous sources and stocks (Table l),

although, as previously mentioned, their contribution to the

genome of naturally spawning Yakima River fish has probably been

minimal. An experimental brood stock program was undertaken in

1984 and continued in 1985 to evaluate the benefits of using

spring chinook from the Yakima River as a source of gametes. The

purpose was to culture indigenous fish and to determine the

optimal stock for enhancement programs.

The best stock for enhancement programs will be determined by

a comparison of returns of adult fish from four release groups:

(1) a pond-acclimated group of hatchery-reared "hybrids" (Yakima

River males crossed with Leavenworth Hatchery females), (2) an

acclimated group of hatchery-reared "natives" (Yakima males

crossed with Yakima females), (3) an acclimated group of pure

hatchery smolts (Leavenworth males crossed with Leavenworth

females), and (4) a group of pure hatchery smolts released

directly into the river. Groups l-3 were allowed volitional

release from an acclimation pond in the upper Yakima River. These

groups will be used to determine if cultured fish that are the

progeny of Yakima River spring chinook have a greater success in

returning to the Yakima River than do non-indigenous stocks. The

fourth group will be used as a control on the value of acclimating

spring chinook in ponds for various periods before allowing

volitional release. Returns from group fOUr Will be COmpred

directly to group three.

5.2.3 ADULT HATCHERY RETURNS

Fourteen groups of adult hatchery fish returned to the Yakima

River in 1987. Coded-wire tags were recovered from four sources;

the Yakima Indian Nation Zone 6 ceremonial and subsistence fishery

in the Columbia River, the Yakima dip net fishery, the spawner

surveys and carcass recovery surveys in the Naches River, and f ram

the adult trap at Roza Dam. All tags recovered were expanded by

the sample rate (fish sampled/total number of fish caught for a

fishery or carcasses -pled/total number of spawners esttited in

each river for spawner surveys) and by the mark rate or coded-wire

tag retention rate.

Survival rate for hatchery smelt to adult was calculated hy

dividing the total expanded return of adults from each release by

the estimated passage of smelts by Presser from that release. The

expanded return numbers were also divided by the total number of

smolts released in each group to obtain a hatchery planting to

adult survival rate.

6.0 RESUL'IS AND DISCUSSION

6.1 NA'IURAD PROIXJCI'ION

6.1.1 SURVIVAL To EMEKENCE SIUDIES

Results of survival to emergence studies will not be

presented due to extremely high spring runoff preventing data

collection during much of the emergence period.

6.1.2 WINTER DISIRIBVTION SISJDIES

Electroshocking studies were conducted from October 23, 1986

through January 8, 1987 to determine the instream movement,

distribution, and habitat selection of spring chinook juveniles

during the winter. Results showed that (1) fish found above Roza

Dam (RM 128) were generally smaller (mean fork lengths ranged from

92 to 97 mm) than fish found below Sunnyside Dam (RM 104), where

mean fork lengths ranged from 95-118 mm; (2) Fish above Roza Dam

were generally associated with instream cover- under large

substrate, root wads, and undercut banks; whereas fish below

Sunnyside Dam were generally observed near the stream bottom in

riffles and runs with slow velocities (Table 2).

A total of 19,867 wild spring chinook juveniles were branded

as they moved downstream past Wapatox DBTI between October 22 and

Decenbar 3, 1986 (see section 6.1.4). Iwenty-four brand recoveries

from wild spring chinook released atwapatox smelt trap (RM 17)

were sr&? between sunnyside Dam (RM 104) and the confluence of

Satus Creek (RN 70). Though it's not known what portion of

branded fish moved from the Naches River into the Yakima River,

these results indicate that fish collected in the fall

outmigration at Wapatox are moving a substantial distance

downstream into the lower Yakima River in a relatively short

period of time. Three fish were found 63 miles downstream from

Wapatox Dam only nine days after being released.

6.1.3 PROSSRR SMOLT TRAP

mlt outmigration was estimated from a logistic relationship

between percent river diversion and percent entrainment (Fast et.

al., 1985). A new logistic relationship was fit to data from test

releases made in 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987. This relationship was

used to estimate 1987 outmigration and to "re-estimate"

oubnigration for 1983-1987 (Appendix B of the 1986 BPA annual

report). Test releases will be made throughout the duration of the

project. The diversion-entrainment relationship will be refined

and the outmigration of previous years reestimated on a yearly

basis.

6.1.3.1 Winter Movement

Prosser smolt trap was operated November 1, 1986 through

February 28, 1987 (estin-ated passage was interpolated for the two

periods 11/l-13 and 2/10-28) in an attempt to determine the number

of juvenile spring chinook moving downstream past Prosser Dam

during the winter months. The estimated outmigration of juvenile

spring chinook was 78,348 (Table 3). Spring chinook outmigrants

branded at Wapatox in the fall of 1986 represented 7.6% of this

total.

The mean length, weight and condition factor of unbranded

chinook all declined slightly from November through January. In

February the mean length and weight, but not the condition factor,

increase substantially (Table 4). Mean length and weight figures

for unbranded chinook were significantly greater (protected LSD,

G-0.01) than comparable figures for branded Wapatox chinook in

each of the four months monitored. The mean monthly condition

factor of unbranded chinook was also greater than the mean

oondition factor of branded Wapatox chinook in all months but

February, although the differences were significant only in

December andJanuary.

The estimated outmigration from November 1 through February

28 of Naches River juvenile spring chinook branded at Wapatox was

1,736 fish. This represents 8.7% of the total number of fish

branded and released at Waptox. It was estimated from expanded

data that 41.1% of the branded Wapatox fish migrated past Prosser

during the winter (November 1 - February 28), while the remainder

outmigrated as spring smolts.

Based on the estimated smolt outmigration of 251,975 this

spring, the number of total spring chinook juveniles outmigrating

past Prosser from November 1 through February 28 (57,803)

constituted 18.7 percent of the total brood year production. It

should be noted that this figure is conservative since the trap

was not in operation through parts of October, November and

February. These winter outmigrants could represent a significant

contribution to total production.

Previous estimates of egg to smelt survival for spring

chinook in the years 1983-1986 (Fast et. al., 1986) do not include

winter outmigrants and thus probably underestimate smelt

production. This winter's outmigration of 57,803 spring chinook

will boost the total egg-to-outmigrant survival rate about 24

29

Page 44: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

percent, from 4.16 to 5.45 percent.

Even with current knowledge of the spring outmigration, the

long-term seasonal distribution of outmigrants will remain

speculative until the contribution of winter fish to total brood

year production has been determined. The winter run contribution

to total smolt production varies both among rivers and between

years in other Nortiest basins. In the L&i River in Idaho the

winter run comprises a fairly constant 50 percent of the total

(Bjornn, 1971) whereas in the Warm Springs River in Oregon, the

relative sizes of the winter and spring runs vary dramatically

from year to year (Stainbrook et. al., 1985).

It would appear that winter outmigrants of spring chinook

originate in all parts of the Yakima system, or at the least, not

exclusively from the Naches River. Of the 19,867 spring chinook

branded and released at Wapatox the fall of 1986, an estimated

1,736, or 8.7 percent, subsequently migrated to Prosser. The

recovery rate of branded fish should have been much greater if the

majority of fish observed at Prosser were leaving the Naches

River. Furthermore, there was a highly significant size

difference between branded (Naches River) and unbranded chinook,

with the Naches fish being 7 to 10 percent smaller than unbranded

fish. This size difference implies that the larger fish originate

in the upper Yakima.

There are two pieces of evidence to suggest that in the main

river, larger chinook undertook winter migrations while smaller

chinook remained in upriver rearing areas. First, data collected

while sampling the Yakima River in an electroshocking boat between

30

Page 45: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

October 23 and January 8 indicated that smaller fish were found

above Roza Dam (Rm 128) than below (see section 6.1.2). Mean fork

lengths for the upriver fish ranged from 92-97 mm whereas mean

length of downriver fish ranged from 95-118 mm. Upriver fish were

generally found under large substrate or mng undercut banks and

root-wads. Downriver fish were generally found on the bottcrn of

slow runs and riffles. Second, the mean length of chinook branded

at Wapatox was significantly less than the mean length of

unbranded fish at Presser. Either significantly more small

branded fish died in route to Presser, or all fish grew 12-16 mm

betweenOctober and Pebruary9. While none of these possible

explanations can be dismissed, these explanations are relatively

unlikely in winter.

6.1.3.2 Spring Movement

A total of 451,370 salmonids were counted at Prosser smelt

trap March 1 through July 31, 1987. The total catch included

139,384 wild spring chinook, 95,505 wild fall chinook, 25,227

hatchery spring chinook, 50,546 hatchery fall chinook, 43,419 wild

steelhead, 10,825 hatchery steelhead, 511 hatchery rainbow trout

and 85,953 hatchery coho.

Estimated outmigration of wild spring chinook, fall chinook and

steelhead smelts was 251,975, 157,692 and 105,969 respectively.

Estimated outmigration of hatchery spring chinook, fall chinook,

steelhead and coho was 61,005, 66,418, 25,682 and 199,021

respectively.

Estimated outmigration of wild spring chinook smelts in the

nr>nths March through June was 10,857, 195,866, 41,162 and 4,090,

respectively. No fish were counted in July. The week of highest

smolt outmigration occurred April 22-30, when 90,569 smolts

outmigrated (Figure 2). The date of median passage was April 23,

1987.

The estimated egg to smelt survival for wild spring chinook

was 4.16% (Table 6). This was calculated strictly upon the

estimated spring outmigration in relation to estimated egg

deposition.

Mean fork length of wild spring chinook in the months April

through June was 130 mm, 123 rrun and 123 rrrn respectively (Table 7).

Mean monthly condition factors for the same time period ranged

from 10.8 to 11.5.

The estimated number of branded, wild spring chinook release

atwapatox (released 11/8/86 - 12/3/86) and later captured at

Prosser was 2,485 for the period March 1 through July 31. This

represented 12.5% of the total number released. With the winter

fish figured in, the overall estimated survival rate was 21.2%.

The percent of wapatox branded fish migrating to Presser in the

winter compared to the spring was 41.1% and 58.9% respectively.

6.1.3.4 Distinguishing Spring from Fall Chinook

Length frequencies and scale analyses were used to

differentiate spring and fall chinook outmigrants. Monthly length

frequencies of wild chinook sampled in 1987 are depicted in

Figures 3 and 4. Lengths are bimodally distributed in April and

May I with fall chinook comprising the first mode and spring

chinook the second mode. Fall chinook comprised most the smelt

outmigration in June and July (Figure 4).

Explicitly, the number of wild fall chinook migrating past

Prosser Dam in a given week was estimated as follows:

i=b

Nj (Li, j) (Fi, j) = Nf,j equation 1.

i=a

where a and b are length increment bounds, with "a"

representing "less that 40 nun,", "b" representing

6.1.3.5 Hatchery Releases

In 1986, survival to Prosser was monitored both by counting

freeze-brands (ten percent of total were marked) and by reading

coded wire tags extracted from sacrificed fish. A total of 178

coded wire tags were taken from unbranded, ad-clipped hatchery

chinook in 1986; results are presented in Table 8.

A Chi-quare test of homogeneity was performed between the

recoveries of CWT tagged fish to freeze branded fish, for the

various release groups. The Chi-Square statistic was rejected,

indicating that between the various release groups, for CWT tagged

and freeze branded fish, recoveries were not porportional. The

Chi-Square statistic for the 1986 data was 146 (chi-square

critical, =.05 was 12.6). It was determined that a large

portion of the Chi-Square statistic was generated from the

September-85 release group and the chi-Square analysis was

recalculated excluding this group. The new Chi-auare statistic

was 19 (Cl&Square critical, =.05 was 11.1). Homogeneity was

still rejected, however most of the lack of homogeneity is

explained by the September-85 release group. This is depicted in

Table 8 where the ratio between CWT tagged smolts and freeze

branded smolts, for the September-85 group, for percent recovered

was 5.0, while the remaining groups were much closer to 1.0.

6.1.3.6. Effect of Acclimation and Volitional Release on

Survival.

Mary's pond on the Yakima River (RM 192) was used to

acclimate the 1987 smelt releases. The same 12 sites on the upper

Yakima (median release point RM 181) used since 1983 were the

release sites for non-acclimated fish. Three groups of spring

chinook were acclimated in 1987: Leavenworth National Fish

Hatchery (LNFH) smolts, "hybrid" smolts (progency of LNFH females

and native Yakima males) and hatchery-reared native smolts. Only

LNFH hatchery smolts were used in the non-acclimated group.

Acclimated groups were moved to Mary's pond over the period

March 19 through March 23. Fish were allowed to volitionally move

out of the pond April 13. This was also the same day the trucked

smolts were released into the river. However it should be noted

that smolts were counted at Prosser as early as April 8,

indicating that fish were escaping from the pond prior to formal

removal of the block-net at the pond outlet.

41

Page 56: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

A total of 50,113 norracclimated hatchery spring chinook, of

which 5,040 were branded, were released in 1987. Release figures

for acclimated hatchery smolts, hybrid smolts and native smolts

were 50,519 (5,040 branded), 56,841 (5,240 branded) and 52,392

(5,640 branded). Based on recoveries of branded fish at Prosser,

percent survival for non-acclimated hatchery fish was 38-5 and the

relative percent survival for acclimated hatchery, hybrid and

native smelts was 3.7, 2.8 and 10.6 respectively (Table 9).

A number of problems occurred which made it impossible to

obtain an exact count of the smolts that migrated from the

acclimation pond in 1987. An unknown number of fish were consumed

by an otter that was observed in the pond one week after the

smolts were planted (it was removed shortly thereafter). In

addition, the water level in the pond dropped below the outlet

elevation during the outmigration period due to the river flow

being so law that insufficient groundwater seepage occurred to

maintain a normal water level. This event prevented an

undetermined number of fish from emigrating. Also, a malfunction

of the electronic counter placed at the pond outlet precluded

obtaining an accurate count on the number of smolt that

outmigrated from the pond. Figure 6 presents the cumulative

percent outmigration for the four qroups. The earliest date of

median passage for any of the four groups was April 25, for the

acclimated hatchery group. Its mean migration rate to Prosser was

10.3 RM/day. Dates of median passage for the remaining three

groups; nor+acclimated hatchery, acclimated hybrid, and native

were April 27, April 30 and May 2, and mean migration rates were

10.3 RM/day, 8.5 M/day and 7.6 RM/day respectively. Despite

having the slowest migration rate, the acclimated native smolts

had the highest survival rate.

6.1.4 WAPATOX SKILT TRAP

Wapatox smolt trap operated until December 2, 1986 when the

screens were removed from Wapato Diversion Canal due to icing

conditions. A monthly summary of the estimated number of spring

chinook outrnigrants in the fall of 1986 is presented in Table 10.

The estimated passage of spring chinook pre-smolts in October and

November were 8,707 and 48,779 respectively. The highest period

of outmigration occurred November 18 through December 1 when

45,155 pre-smolts were estimated to have passed Wapatox. High

stream discharge may account for this. Stream discharge increased

from a mean of 438 cfs for the five preceeding weeks, to a mean of

1,236 cfs during this time period.

The October and November size distributions are presented in

Figure 6. Mean monthly fork lengths in October and November were

94 and 95 mm, respectively.

Monitoring of the smolt outmigration began April. 1 when the

screens were installed into the Wapato Diversion Canal. A monthly

summary of the estimated number of spring chinook outmigrants in

1987 is presented in Table 10. Estimated spring chinook smolt

outmigration in April, May and June was 13,561, 2,335 and 245

respectively. Total estimated outmigration past Wapatox was

16,141 smolts. Estimated pre-smolt outmigration in July, August

and September was 608, 1,158 and 3,464 respectively.

The estimated weekly catch of spring chinook is presented in

Table 11. The week of highest estimated outmigration was during

the first week of operation April l-7, when 4,123 smolts

outmigrated. This represented 27% of the total estimated

outmigration. Median passage date was April. 18.

Monthly size distributions of spring chinook smolts are

presented in Figures 7, 8 and 9. Mean monthly fork lengths in

April, May and June were 94, 97 and 107 mm, respectively. Mean

6.1.5 ADULT REIURNS

In 1987 a total of 3,683 adult and 335 jack spring chinook

salmon returning to the Yakima River were counted at Prosser fish

ladder at RM 48 (Tables 12 and 13). This gives a total of 4,018

salrrron returning to Prosser Dam (Table 15). The raw daily fish

counts for Prosser Dam are presented in Appendix Tables A.1

through A.4. The mean dates of passage were May 12 and May 16 for

adults and jacks respectively. An additional 372 fish were

estimated to have been caught in the Yakima River subsistence

dipnet fishery below Horn Rapids and Prosser Dams (Table 15).

Therefore, total return to the Yakima system was 4,390 spring

chinook salmon (Table 16).

Spring chinook were counted at Roza Dam from May 1 to

September 30, 1987. Passage at Roza Dam was 1,610 adult and 67

jack spring chinook for a total of 1,677 wild fish (Tables 18, 19,

and 20). A total of 245 adult and 9 jack hatchery spring chinook

were collected at Roza Dam to recover the coded wired tags for

release group identification. An additional 174 fish were

harvested between Prosser and Roza Dams in the subsistence dipnet

fishery (Table 15). Daily raw counts of fish passage at Roza Dam

are presented in Appendix Tables A.5 through A.9. The median

dates of passage at Roza Dam were May 29 and May 26 for spring

chinook adults and jacks respectively.

A summary of adult and jack returns to each of the dams,

harvest belcrw and above Presser, and the number of fish available

to spawn in the Yakima and Naches Rivers is presented in Table 20.

The spring chinook redd counts from 1981 to 1987 are

presented in Table 21. These counts were not part of the data

collected on the present spring chinook study but are important

for estimates of survival through various life stages and are

included in this report for that reason.

Upper Yakima Surveys: A total of 1,063 redds were reported

from surveys on the upper Yakima. A total of 923 were above Roza

Dam and ah additional 140 were discovered in the area between Roza

Dam and Selah Bridge.

The number of chinook escaping past Roza was 1,677; the

number of redds was 923. The resulting statistic was 1.82 fish

per redd. There is no accounting for pre-spawning mortality by

this method. Consequently, 1.82 does not necessarily reflect the

average number of fish observed on a redd on the spawning grounds.

Naches Survevs: There were a total of 677 redds found on the

Naches River in 1987. This represents a decline in the redds

counted on the Naches system from 1986. Substantial increases

were observed in nearly all established spawning areas over the

1985 spawning season when the spring chinook escpapment was

similar to this years escapement.

6.1.6 ESTIMATES OF SURVIVAL THRCUGH VARIOUS LIFE SIXES

6.1.6.1 Egg to Fry:

Survival from egg to fry was discussed extensively in the

survival to emergence sections of the 1985 and 1986 annual

reports. The survival from egg to emergent fry was calculated to

be 59.6% which is the mean of the 62.5% estimate in 1985 and 56.7%

in 1986. As discussed earlier the 1987 studies were terminated by

high spring runoff and extensive bedload sediment trapped in the

redd cap nets.

Total egg deposition in the Yakima system from 1981 to 1987

is presented in Table 23. Wal. egg deposition was calculated as

the sum of three subareas: the upper Yakima, the American River,

and the remaining Naches system due to different mean size of

females in each of these areas. The mean fecundity as calculated

from the length fecundity model and the mean length of females

measured in each subarea in 1985 was 3,908 eggs/female in the

upper Yakima, 6,198 eggs/female in the American River and 5,150

eggs/female in the rest of the Naches system.

The total number of fry produced from the egg deposition in

1981 to 1987 is reported in Table 23. This estimate is based on

the current 59.6% egg to fry survival rate which is the mean of

the 62.5% estimate in 1985 and the 56.7% from 1986.

6.1.6.2 Egg to Snolt:

The egg to smolt (Se,) survival was calculated as the number of

smolts estirrated to outmigrate past Prosser divided by the total egg

deposition for their year class as calculated in Table 23. The egg to

smolt survival from egg deposition for the brood years 1981 to 1985 and

corresponding smolt outmigration years of 1983 to 1987 are presented in

Table 24.

This mean percent survival from egg to smelt of 4.9% is much lower

than the 10.7% (range from 5.4 to 16.4) reported by Major and Mighell

(1969). Bjornn (1978) evaluated natural production of spring chinook in

the Lemhi River, Idaho, and over an 8-year period found that survival

from egg to migrant smolt averaged 9.8% (range 4.0% to 15.9%). This is

also much higher than the five year mean of 4.9% we found. He

considered the level of spawning escapents to the upper Lemhi River

low during the study years, thus underseeding may have resulted in

maximum survival rates for juvenile chinook in that system.

Several other studies conducted on mid-Columbia tributaries

had survival rates similar to those observed in the current study.

In the Deschutes River, Oregon Johasson and Lindsay (1983) found

an average egg-to-migrant survival rate of 3.5 percent (range 2.3%

to 5.5%) for their spring chinook smolts. These were primarily

yearling spring migrants but also included fall (age 0) migrants.

An egg-temigrant survival rate of 5.2% (range 3.6% to 6.7%) was

found for spring chinook in the John Day River, Oregon, (Lindsay

et al., 1981). These percentages were based on yearling spring

migrants only.

In 1986-1987 were we able to make an estimate of the winter

outmigration in the Yakima River because the screens were left in

the canal due to the milder than average winter. The winter

outmigration increased the total 1987 smolts outmigration from

251,975 to 330,323 smolts. The new Chandler Canal screens will

allow winter sapling to occur xr0re regularly in the future.

1986 return of five year old adults to the Yakima River is

reported in Table 26. It was estimated that 6,012 wild three,

four, and five year old fish returned from an estimated smolt

outmigration of 135,548 fish in 1983.

return of four year old adults and the 1987 return of five year

old adults to the Yakima River is reported in Table 29.

The smelt to adult (Ssa) based on the 1985 smolts

outmigration estimated at Presser and the 1986 return of jacks and

the 1987 return of four year old adults to the Yakima River is

reported in Table 30.

This estimated rate of survival. from smolt to adult is also

subject to error due to our estimation of total outmigration. We

are quite confident in the smelt outmigration estimation procedure

for Prosser (Section 6.1.3). However, from the recant findings at

Wapatox smolt trap indicating an extensive fall outmigration, and

the premliminary findings at Prosser smelt trap this past winter

(see section 6.1.3.1), there may be a large outmigration of

pre-smolt spring chinook in the months when the Chandler Canal

smolt trap is inoperable due to screen removal.

6.2 HATCHERY OPERATIONS

6.2.1 CUTPLAWINS SJJJDIES

6.2.1.1 %olt releases

To evaluate the effectiveness of rearing and releasing hybrids and

acclimating fish in earthen ponds and then allowing for a volitional

release as smolts, three groups of spring chinook smolts were released

from Mary’s pond at RM 192 on the Yakima River and a forth group was

transported from Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery and scatter-planted

directly into the upper Yakima River between RM 155 and 200. The

release data for the 1987 acclimation pond and river-released groups of

smelts is presented in Table 29.

Similar releases were made from Nile Springs pond and the upper

Yakima River in 1983 and 1984 and from Mary's pond and the upper Yakima

River in 1985 to compare acclimation ponds vs. direct river releases.

The 1986 release groups represented the first time the wild x wild and

wild x hatchery hybrids were released. The 1987 release groups were a

repetition of the 1986 releases. The survival of these release groups

to Presser is discussed extensively in the snolt trapping section of

this report. The 1983 release groups returned as six year old adults in

1987 and the 1984 release groups returned as four year old adults in

1986 and five year old adults in 1987. The 1985 release groups returned

as four year old fish in 1987. Their survival rates will be discussed

in the Hatchery Adult Return section of this report.

6.2.2 BROOD SIEK EVALUATIONS

An experimental brood stock program was undertaken in 1984

and continued in 1985 to evaluate the effectiveness of using

spring chinook adults from the Yakima River as a source of gametes

for hatchery reared fish in an attempt to maintain the genetic

components indigenous to the Yakima Basin. Crosses were made to

obtain four different release groups; wild males and wild females,

wild males and hatchery females, and two groups of hatchery males

and females. The first three groups were released in acclimation

ponds and the fourth group was released directly into the Yakima

River and compared with sunrival of group three - a continuation

of the acclimation pond vs. river release study. The required

crosses were made in 1984 and 1985 from Yakima River brood stock

adults taken from the Roza adult trap. The hybrids were reared at

Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery and released as smolts. The

first releases, the 1984 brood year products, were made from

Mary's pond and the upper Yakima in 1986. The resulting progeny of

the 1985 crosses were released at the same locations in 1987.

Survival of each release group was calculated at Prosser smolt

trap for smolt survival. The survival to returning adults will be

determined for each group through 1990 when the five year old

adults from the 1987 smolt releases return to the river.

release groups were recovered in 1987. These fish were identified

by the coded wire tags recovered in the Yakima Indian Nation Zone

6 ceremonial and subsistance fishery, the Yakima River ceremonial

dipnet fishery, from spawning ground surveys and carcass recovery

surveys conducted on the Yakima and Naches River systems in

August, September and October of 1987, and from the adult trap at

Roza Dam. A total of 149 fish were inspected for adipose fins and

coded wire tags in the Naches River in 1987. All fish passing

Roza Dam were inspected for adipose clips. Any clipped fish were

sacrificed to increase the the recovery of coded wire tags. Table

30 presents the release data for all hatchery groups that could

possibly return to the Yakima system as three, four, five or

six-year-old fish in 1987 (two six year old adults were found in

1987).

The 1987 adults returning from the 1983 upper Yakima

release groups were six-year-old fish, and complete the data

necessary to calculate the smolt to adult survival rate for

these two hatchery release groups.

An analysis of the 1983 upper Yakima River release group

indicates that 2 six-year-old adults returned in 1987, 12

five-year old adults returned in 1986 and 31 four-year-old fish

returned in 1985. The total estimated adult return was thus 45

fish. There were 97,725 smolts released in the upper Yakima in

1983. This gives a "smelt-at-release" to adult survival rate of

0.05%. It was estimated that 20,131 of these snolts survived

passage to Prosser Dam in 1983. The smolt-at-Prosser to adult

survival rate was thus 0.22%. This compares to a

"smelt-at-release" to adult survival rate of 0.08% and

"smelt-at-Presser" rate of 0.2% for the Nile pond acclimation

release group.

Survival rates for smolt-at-Prosser to adult are almost

identical between the acclimated and nowacclimated 1983 release

groups. The survival rate from release site to Prosser,

however, was almost twice as great for the acclimated fish

(38.5%) as for the non-acclimated fish (20.6%). Thus,

acclimation and volitional release apparently increased the

relative fitness of acclimated smolts, perhaps by allowing

recovery from the stress of handling and transportation and/or

the development of adaptive behavior patterns (e.g., predator

avoidance responses).

In 1987 we recovered coded wire tags from five year old

77

Page 92: January 1987 YAKIMA RIVER SPRING CHINOOK ENHANCEMENT …docs.streamnetlibrary.org/BPA_Fish_and_Wildlife/39461-4.pdf · january 1987 yakima river spring chinook enhancement study this

fish frcm both the 1984 release group at Nile Springs pond and

the 1984 upper Yakima River release group. An expanded total of

21 fish were estimated to have returned from the Nile Springs

acclimation pond release. This give a total of 40 returning

adults (19 in 1986) for this release group. The survival from

smolt at release (29,636 smolts) for this acclimation pond

release was therefore 0.13%. It was estimated that 16,063 or

54.2% of these smolts survived to Prosser smolt trap. This gives

a "smelt-at-Presser" to adult survival rate of 0.25%.

A total of five upper Yakima River release group adults

were recovered as five year old adults in 1987. Added to the 12

adults returning from this release group in 1986 gives a total

of 17 adults from the river release.

A total of 45,552 smolts were released in this experimental

group. That gives a 'Ismolt-at-release" survival rate to adult

of 0.04%. These smolts survived to Prosser at 32.7% rate which

give 14,896 snolts and a Wsmolt-at-Prossern to adult survival

rate of 0.11%.

Five other release groups had more than three returning

adults in 1987. All five groups were from the 1985 smolts

outmigration and thus were returning as four year old adults in

1987. These five release groups were the 1984 pre-smolt release

groups of June fry (25 adults returned), September pre-smolts

(35 adults), and November pre-smelts (43 adults), and the 1985

smolt release from ~arys pond (61 adults) and the upper Yakima

River releases (32 adults). Since each of these groups could

have five year old adults return in 1988 the analysis of percent
