- Abstract:
- In 2013, we evaluated the passage and migration behavior of radio-tagged spring and summer Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) and sockeye salmon (O. nerka) in relation to the installation of the Lamprey Flume System (LFS) at the north downstream entrance (NDE) of the powerhouse 2 (PH2) fishway at Bonneville Dam. We also conducted a third year of radiotelemetry studies of spring–summer Chinook salmon at Bonneville Dam to evaluate if modifications made at the Cascades Island (CI) fishway in winter 2008-2009 to facilitate passage of adult Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) and improve hydraulics at the entrance for salmon adversely affected passage of adult salmon. Our primary study objective was to compare passage times and behaviors from pre-modification years to those from post-modification years while considering inter-annual variation in environmental, operational, and ecological conditions using a set of 5-7 quantitative passage metrics. The metrics included: entrance efficiency, exit ratio, approach-to-entry time, entry-to-ladder base time, proportion of adults requiring > 1 hour to pass these segments. We also compared behaviors at NDE and CI to similar sites (PH2 south downstream entrance and Bradford-Island B- Branch entrance).
