| Abstract: | The Biological Opinion (BiOP) for the operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System specifies management goals for survival rates of adult salmon and steelhead during upstream migration. Recent data from PIT-telemetry monitoring indicates survival rates are lower than BiOp targets. We conducted a multiple objective study in 2013 using radiotelemetry and environmental monitoring to: 1) characterize general adult migration behavior and passage metrics at lower Snake River dams and reservoirs upstream of Ice Harbor Dam forebay, 2) test for associations between behavior of adult spring–summer Chinook salmon during passage of Little Goose Dam and dam operations and river environmental conditions; and 3) monitor adult salmonid passage in relation to temperature conditions in the Lower Granite Dam fishway and forebay near the fishway exit. |
