- Abstract:
- We used radiotelemetry to evaluate the behavior of adult summer Chinook salmon in the presence of sea lion exclusion devices (SLEDs) intermittently deployed at four fishway openings at Powerhouse 2 of Bonneville Dam during 2005. Radio-tagged salmon that first approached at a SLED had the highest median time from first approach to first entry (1.3 h) among groupings (i.e., spillway, Powerhouse 1, and Powerhouse 2 w/ no SLED), suggesting the SLEDs mildly impeded fishway entry for some tagged salmon. However, we found no significant difference in the spatial distribution of first approaches or first entrances of radio-tagged salmon in the presence or absence of SLEDs during 2005. Based on time-to-event analyses and Cox Proportional Modeling, tagged salmon were 21% more likely to first approach Powerhouse 2 entrances at any given time when the SLEDs were deployed than when they were not. In contrast, tagged salmon were 19% less likely to first enter a Powerhouse 2 fishway at any given time when the SLEDs were deployed than when they were not. Neither difference was statistically significant.
