Hatchery O. mykiss that fail to emigrate to the ocean, referred to as residuals, present an ecological and genetic risk to naturally-produced species through resource competition, predation, and spawning interactions. The Lower Snake River Compensation Plan’s Wallowa stock steelhead program in northeast Oregon has established methods of reducing and quantifying...
An apparent increase in the survival rate of experimental groups of coho salmon was demonstrated after two generations of selective breeding. Recoveries of 2-year-old coho were obtained from experimental groups of interstock and intrastock parent crosses.

Tuberculosis in salmonoid fishes was first observed in the 1952 run of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) returning to the Bonneville Hatchery of the Oregon Fish Commission. In the studies reported here, tuberculosis was found not only in adult spring chinook but in silver salmon (0. kisutch), blueback salmon (0....
Part I. To aid in the management of the Tillamook Bay commercial salmon fishery, a tagging program was conducted on the salmon and steelhead trout runs in 1953. General migration behavior, the minimum length of time the fish remained in the fishery, population sizes, and fishing mortalities were determined from...
The Oregon Fish Commission and Washington Department of Fisheries conducted a cooperative winter steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) tagging program on the Columbia River during the winters of 1954-55 and 1955-56. Objectives of the program were: (1) to obtain information on the timing of the various segments of the run; (2)...
This report the sizes for winter steelhead runs of the Willamette River and many of its tributaries from 1958-69, giving numbers and suggesting possible reasons for small runs.
Results of the first year of the Deschutes summer steelhead ecology and hatchery assessment. “This report covers the first year of a study of Deschutes summer steelhead ecology and factors limiting efficiency of hatchery production of summer steelhead smolts” (Contents).
This document summarizes the 1966-67 winter steelhead fisheries on the Alsea and Wilson Rivers, and describes the effects of the three-fish bag limit on total harvest on the Wilson River.
