Geological Survey Funding: U. S. Army Corps of Engineers U. S. Geological Survey Use of known-source adult chinook salmon and steelhead to evaluate homing and survival of adult migrants in the Columbia River: and steelhead to evaluate homing and survival of adult migrants in the Columbia River:

Study goal: Use radio telemetry to monitor and evaluate passage of adult salmon and steelhead in Columbia and Snake rivers

Methods 2. Release tagged fish downstream and upstream of Bonneville Dam. and upstream of Bonneville Dam. 1. Collect and tag fish at Bonneville Dam.
