Project Goals
• Describe and monitor juvenile life history strategies and life-stage survival of spring chinook salmon and steelhead in the Grande Ronde Subbasin
• Provide baseline natural production and life history information for evaluation of supplementation efforts in the Grande Ronde Subbasin
![Page 3: Investigate the Life History of Spring Chinook Salmon and Summer Steelhead in the Grande Ronde River Basin Project 199202604 Brian Jonasson Oregon Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514e99955034693478b5b92/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Juvenile Life History ObjectivesSpring Chinook Salmon
• In-basin migration patterns and abundance
• Survival and migration patterns to mainstem dams
• Life stage survival rates
• Use of winter concealment habitat
• Relationships between rearing habitat and survival and life history patterns

Juvenile Life History ObjectivesSteelhead
• In-basin migration patterns and abundance
• Survival and migration patterns to mainstem dams
• Proportion of fall migrants that smolt in spring
• Population characteristics of steelhead in Catherine Creek in summer

Life History Findings and Management Significance
•Habitats downstream of the spawning areas are critical rearing areas in fall and winter
•Deep pools with cover are important for over winter habitat
![Page 40: Investigate the Life History of Spring Chinook Salmon and Summer Steelhead in the Grande Ronde River Basin Project 199202604 Brian Jonasson Oregon Department](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514e99955034693478b5b92/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Life History Findings and Management Significance
•Local populations exhibit differences in life history, including migration timing within the subbasin and survival to mainstem dams
