Examining the Effectsof Juvenile Migration Timing
on Adult Age of Columbia River Salmon
Benjamin P. Sandford Fish Ecology Division
Northwest Fisheries Science CenterNOAA Fisheries Service
Introduction
• The Columbia/Snake River System has been extensively altered with hydropower and water-storage dams.
• This has significantly altered salmon migration timing patterns for many reasons.
• Understanding the effects of these changes is important for making future management actions.
Objectives
• Characterize the relationship between Year-Of-Return (YOR) probability and various juvenile migration factors for wild yearling Chinook salmon– Barge transport or In-river migration separately– Within-year Bonneville passage date– Migration year– PDO, temperature, and other ocean conditions– Fish length
Methods
Dataset
• Wild yearling spring/summer Chinook salmon PIT-tagged at or above Lower Granite Dam: 1998-2007
• Only used years with a “reasonable number” of adult returns to Lower Granite Dam. This necessitated analyzing barge transport separately from in-river migration

Summary
• The age of adult return (by year) of wild yearling Chinook salmon increased for later migrants, both in-river and transported.
• There was substantial annual variability in age distribution and relationship to migration timing.
• There was little evidence that fish length (at tagging at dams) explained these results, but this needs more investigation along with ocean conditions.
• It takes a very large number of PIT-tagged individuals to make these assessments!
