Project history Recent results Future directions Todays Agenda

The 1980s Idaho Habitat Evaluation for Offsite Mitigation Record ( ) Focus on Idahos wild/natural spring/summer Chinook (Steelhead, too!) General monitoring –Parr & redd counts, relate to habitat Intensive monitoring –Survival & production at 2 sites

General Parr Monitoring

Chinook Adult Escapement

The 1990s Salmon declines & ESA listing General monitoring continued Mitigation & habitat monitoring? Intensive studies changed to ESU Focus on downstream passage Project data proved very important

Chinook Spawning Ground Surveys Index Area Counts

Spawner to Parr (Hall-Griswold & Petrosky 2002)

Spawner to Spawner (Hall-Griswold & Petrosky 2002) Chinook Steelhead

Chinook Recruit/Spawner Analysis Schaller et al. 1999

Chinook Life Cycle Survival

Project Benefits Excellent trend data set Lots of mileage and publications Project reports highly cited in regional forums (e.g. PATH & CRI) Also some site-specific survival & productivity estimates

Wild Snake River Chinook & Steelhead Monitor population status & trends Measure freshwater production Effects of habitat projects Estimate stage-specific survival Objectives

Production & Survival Natural chinook smolts/female for basin –Lower Granite Dam data Age structure of chinook adult returns to basin –Length frequency analysis at Lower Granite Dam Natural smolt-adult return rate for basin –Lower Granite Dam data –PTAGIS data

Chinook Freshwater Production Stock-Recruit Analysis

Smolt Forecast

How well did the model perform? Predicted Observed After 2003 smolt migration

Steelhead PIT Tagging

Basinwide Steelhead Trends

Specific Migration Timing

Chinook Fin ray aging & SARs Discrepancy between PIT tag returns and scales Length at Age x LGR Length Frequency = Length at Age for entire Snake River ESU Assign returns back to correct brood year

2003 LGR Length Frequency

Assigning Ages Carcass Length at Age data X Lower Granite Dam lengths of entire run = Length at Age for entire Snake River wild/natural spring/summer adult chinook salmon X The total number of wild chinook passing Lower Granite Dam (supplied by TAC) = Total Number of Chinook in each Smolt Migration Yr.

Summary to Date Maintain large trend data sets Large-scale empirical productivity models Habitat data not well-integrated PIT tagging for steelhead passage studies Highly accurate population age data Tissue archive from carcasses Sampling not representative

Where do we go now?

Changing Needs Augment trend sites Population-specific data –Genetic & demographic information System-wide compatibility

Chinook Metapopulation Structure

Future Directions Evaluate current tasks & data Analyze genetic archive Incorporate probabilistic design Explore processes & scales appropriate for management Develop collaborative relationships
