Hatchery Subyearling Survival Lower Granite to McNary Dam 1998 to 2010(preliminary results) Fish Passage Center
Overview • PIT-tagged Hatchery Subyearling Chinook passing LGR dam during two-week blocks from May 20 to July 15 each year--from release sites ('CJRAP','GRAND1','PLAP','SNAKE3','SNAKE4','BCCAP','LUGUAF','NPTH','NLVP','CEFLAF') • Estimate Survival and Travel Time for blocks • Assign average environmental variables during passage such as Flow, Spill, Temperature and Water Transit Time • Show bivariate plots of Reach Survival and environmental variables.
Survival for Hatchery Subyearling Chinook LGR to McN 1998 to 2010 with 95% CI’s
Water Transit Time • WTT--Avg Time for Water Particle to Transit Reservoir • Q -- discharge at dam
Comparison of Environmental conditions Flows in 2010 were higher than most other recent years. Avg spill volumes were high in 2010 similar to other years since 2005. Temperatures were at or below average compared to other recent years.

Hatchery Subyearling Chinook Survival vs detection probability at LGS, LMN, McN
Conclusions • For actively migrating subyearling Chinook, increased spill and decreased water transit time (higher flows) improve survival, while higher temperatures decrease survival • Survivals were relatively high in 2010 because of high flows through June and above average spill while temperatures were at or below the average for period of years analyzed
