Abstract: Our primary objective in this 2013 study was to estimate upstream migration survival (i.e.,‘conversion rates’) of adult salmon and steelhead from release downstream from Bonneville Dam, through dam-to-dam reaches, and past McNary Dam. Radiotelemetry was used to help estimate final fates of tagged fish and to monitor fish behaviors at dams, in reservoirs, and as they entered lower Columbia River tributaries. Radiotelemetry was selected to provide more explicit spatial and temporal accounting for adults that did not successfully pass through the lower Columbia River Hydrosystem.
