Description    


Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Fish Program conducted a life cycle monitoring study of salmon and steelhead in two Intensely Monitored Complexes: the Lower Columbia Complex (Mill, Abernathy, Germany creeks) and the Hood Canal complex (Little Anderson, Big Beef, Seabeck, and Stavis creeks), which included:

(1) Estimated abundance of salmon and steelhead at the adult spawner, summer parr (coho only), and spring smolt life stage, as applicable to each stream complex.

(2) Estimated survival between life history stages including the freshwater life stages (egg, summer parr, spring smolt) and marine stages (harvest, escapement) applicable to each species and stream complex.

(3) Conducted analysis of trends prior to restoration and identify natural variation and environmental variables correlated with this variation.

(4) Worked collaboratively with regional and local restoration groups on the selection and design of restoration treatments within the IMW watersheds.

(5) Conducted analysis of fish population responses to restoration actions including use of a Before After/Control Impact statistical design and environmental covariates identified in pre-restoration analyses.
