Description    


The purpose of this project was to monitor adult and juvenile salmonid abundance at selected high-priority sites associated with the Fish-In Fish-Out Framework as developed by the Governors Monitoring Forum on Salmon Recovery and Watershed Health. This has been an on-going project supported by the SRFB and the data fills information gaps in the Fish-In Fish-Out Framework. This coordinates monitoring of adult and juvenile salmon for at least one population in each Major Population Group (MPG) per Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU). Specifically, monitoring occured:
- Salmon Creek summer chum (juveniles); adult summer chum spawner escapement in Salmon and Snow Creek
- Duckabush summer chum (juveniles)
- Wind River coho (adults)
- Grays River coho and steelhead (juveniles)
- Touchet River summer steelhead (juveniles)
Methods for fish-in-fish-out trap operations include: On the Duckabush River, juvenile migrants were captured in a floating screw trap (8-foot or 1.5 m diameter) located on the right bank at river mile 0.3 (0.48 rkm), approximately 1,600 feet (490 m) upstream of the Highway 101 bridge (Figure 1). The trap consisted of two, four foot wide tapered flights, wrapped 360 degrees around a nine foot long shaft. These flights werehoused inside a eight foot diameter cone-shaped frame covered with perforated plating. The shaft was aligned parallel with the flow and was lowered to the waters surface via davits and winches mounted on two 20 ft aluminum pontoons. The trap fished half of an eight foot diameter circle with a cross sectional area of 16*pi = 50.24 ft2. Water current acting on the flights caused the trap to rotate, and with every 180 degrees of rotation, a flight entered the water while the other emerged. As the leading edge of a flight emerged from the water it prevented the escape of trapped fish. The fish were gently augured into a solid sided, baffled live box.
