Yakima River Habitat degradation: –Dams and irrigation canals –Bank armoring –High temperatures in downstream reaches –Invasive species Restoration action: –Supplementation in 1997 –Acclimation facilities to extend spawning distribution

Study Area

Objectives Develop and evaluate extensive survey methods for lotic habitat and fishes Relate physical habitat to spawning site selection and homing by wild- and hatchery-origin salmon Link community structure of resident fishes to habitats associated with salmon spawning distribution

Methods Extensive habitat and snorkel survey (2007) Intensive survey (2008) Carcass and redd surveys (2002 – 2008) Depth and temperature profiling (2009)

Channel type (1,2,3) Unit type ( PO,GP,GR, RI ) Channel width Depth Substrate Cover Wood Fish abundance 125 m 140 km mainstem 20 km side channel Survey summary flow Extensive survey September 2007

Gradient Temperature Conductivity Velocity 125 m 82 sites.35 km 2 Survey summary flow Intensive survey September – October 2008

Surveys conducted by Yakama Nation and NOAA Fisheries –GPS location –Origin (CWT) –Gender –Age class –Length 125 m flow 2007 Redds Redds Carcass and redd surveys (2002 – 2008)

Near-bottom depth and temperature logged every 2 seconds Merged with GPS tracklog based on time stamp 125 m flow 2009 (winter) – temperature and depth profiling

Preliminary results Extensive habitat and snorkel survey (2007) Intensive survey (2008) Carcass and redd surveys (2002 – 2008) Depth and temperature profiling (2009)

(25 %) (16 %)

Preliminary conclusions Hatchery- and wild-origin Chinook have similar spawning distributions at scales ≥ 1km The influence of habitat factors on spawning site selection depends on spatial scale Redd density is correlated with rainbow trout distribution at broad scales (4 km)
