Abstract	We evaluated the effects of the McNary Dam transportation system on emigrating fall and spring chinook smolts using physiological indices of stress (e.g., plasma cortisol, hepatic glycogen, leucocrit, interrenal cell nuclear diameter) and performance tests (e.g., saltwater challenge, secondary stress challenge, disease resistance). We also conducted controlled experiments in a hatchery environment to characterize the fishes' physiological responses to stress to allow a basis for judging the nature of the stress experienced by smolts in the system at McNary Dam.
