Book Description
Excerpt from Winter-Run Chinook Salmon in the Sacramento River, California, With Notes on Water Temperature Requirements at Spawning Since water of Battle Creek, on which Cole man Hatchery is located, is too warm for winter-run fish, those trapped at Keswick Dam (table 2) are now hauled to Spawning areas in the main Sacramento River down stream from Redding; no other suitable water is available for them.

Straying of Late-Fall-run Chinook Salmon from the Coleman National Fish Hatchery Into the Lower American River, California

Book Description
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) are generally anadromous fishes that spawn in fresh water. When young salmon have grown and matured to what is called the smolt stage (ocean ready), they move into the ocean to mature and grow into adulthood. When they have reached sexual maturity, they return to fresh water to spawn and then die. Salmon typically home to their natal streams when returning to fresh water to spawn. Straying, however, is a natural behavior for a small fraction of individuals in a population, and may even have an adaptive advantage under some circumstances. Straying can also occur as a result of various factors including natural habitat disruption, modification of the watershed, or human intervention in salmonid reproduction. In the winter of 2006/2007, tens of thousands of late-fall-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) reared in the Coleman National Fish Hatchery, a US Fish and Wildlife Service facility on Battle Creek in the upper Sacramento River basin, were released at several downstream locations as part of a Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta survival study. Two years later, in the winter of 2008/2009, at the end of the annual Department of Fish and Game lower American River escapement survey for fall-run Chinook salmon, a new pulse of fish was found to be spawning in the American River. These fish turned out to be stray late-fall-run Chinook salmon from the Coleman National Fish Hatchery, spawning in the American River where the fall-run Chinook salmon were completing their spawning run. Late-fall-run Chinook salmon have not been known to spawn in the American River and understanding the reason for this unusual behavior was the basis for this project. Currently the only run of Chinook salmon in the lower American River is the fall-run. The Department does not want late-fall-run Chinook salmon to establish themselves in the river because of potential disruption of fall-run Chinook salmon nest success due to an overlap in run timing, potential interbreeding, and limited available spawning habitat. This study was based on the hypothesis that salmon released in close proximity to the mouth of the American River are more likely to stray into the river during their return spawning migration than fish released farther from the river's mouth. Coded-wire tag inland return data from for the 2006 brood year of late-fall-run Chinook collected from 2007/2008 through 2010/2011 were used for this study. The tags were collected primarily from salmon found during river escapement surveys and those that returned to hatcheries in the Sacramento River watershed. The return data were analyzed using Chi-square statistical analyses to determine if there was a difference in the number of salmon straying into the American River with respect to the distance they were released from the mouth of that river, and a Spearman noncollated rank analysis was used to describe the overall relationship between release distance from the American River and percent straying into the river. Results indicated that straying did increase with proximity of release location to the mouth of the American River and with respect to downstream releases in general. No salmon released in the vicinity of the Coleman National Fish Hatchery were recovered in the lower American River. This study indicates that release location should be carefully evaluated if future downstream releases are conducted by Sacramento River watershed hatcheries.

Book Description
Juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) experience high rates of mortality as they out-migrate, frequently navigating through rivers heavily modified by human activities. Understanding patterns of movement and survival is key to informing management decisions in these human-dominated aquatic systems. Ultrasonic telemetry is a valuable tool allowing us to observe the movement patterns of aquatic animals. The first chapter of this dissertation examines the performance of an ultrasonic telemetry positioning system by comparing receiver arrays deployed in three diverse environments. It suggests that researchers utilizing a positioning system should focus on testing the geometry of receivers before the study begins, as well as minimizing receiver movements and maximizing the accuracy of speed-of-sound estimates. The second chapter uses an ultrasonic positioning system to observe the route selection of juvenile out-migrants at an artificial juncture in the tidal portion of the Sacramento River, California. The strongest predictor of ultimate migratory route was the relative water velocity at the river's junction with the water diversion channel. The third chapter describes patterns in survival through a segment of the lower Sacramento River. We applied a previously derived analytical model, the mean free-path length model, in a new way to determine whether predator densities or prey behaviors were more indicative of fine-scale mortality rates. The model indicated that the hatchery smolt were highly directional in their outmigration behavior, leading us to conclude that spatial patterns in survival of juvenile Chinook were driven by increasing density or efficiency of the predator community. Ultrasonic telemetry technologies can be valuable in habitats where direct observation of animals is difficult, including in large river systems such as the Sacramento River. Through the continuing advancement of these technologies, their careful application, and the appropriate union of empirical data and modeling approaches, we can provide valuable information about the movements and mortality patterns of species of conservation concern.

Book Description
Riverine ecosystems around the world have undergone extensive anthropogenic alterations, often to the detriment of native aquatic biodiversity. Migratory fishes are particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and degradation. For example, Chinook Salmon populations in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, CA have been declining for nearly a century. Its Mediterranean climate, position in a landscape dominated by urban and agricultural land use, and the presence of an inland delta that serves as the hub of California's vast water conveyance system, makes this a particularly perilous region for migrating juvenile salmon. These studies use acoustic telemetry as tool to investigate survival and routing of juvenile fall and spring-run Chinook salmon during their riverine and estuarine migratory phases in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Survival to the ocean in these river systems is already lower relative to other Chinook Salmon populations in North American. Tracking studies included investigations of the sub-lethal effects of tagging fish with acoustic transmitters, movement ecology and survival of two distinct evolutionary significant units of Chinook Salmon during an historic drought, and the movement ecology and survival of a reintroduced population of Chinook Salmon in the San Joaquin River.
