Short- and Long-Term Survival of Reconditioned Kelts to Release

Yakima R. Steelhead Escapement with Reconditioning 7.4% 11.3% 2.4% Percentage increase in escapement due to reconditioning. 8.4% 4.4% 5.5% 6.7%

Summary of Knowns Kelts in poor condition don’t survive Shrimp krill – starter feed; pellets for maintenance Long-term reconditioning can greatly increase survival (~40%) vs. in-river (~3%) Short-term reconditioning can improve kelt survival in some years

Summary of Unknowns Relative reproductive success rates Long-term gonad re-maturation and viability What environmental cues are necessary and sufficient for repro. success? Factors affecting survival of short-term fish
