- Description:
- Storage of water at night and discharge through turbines at lower Snake River dams during the day would best meet demands for power production. However, fisheries managers were concerned that such flow regulations would interfere with upstream migration of anadromous salmonids . During 1975 and 1976, we assessed the effects of reduced nighttime flows on the upstream migration of adult chinook salmon and steelhead trout. During the summer and fall, reducing discharge from the dams to zero at night (2300-0700 hours) had no observable effect on migration of adult fish.
