Approximately 143 million salmon and steelhead juveniles are produced and released annually from hatcheries in the Columbia Basin (mouth to headwaters).

• ~90 million salmon and steelhead are released above Bonneville Dam (BON).
• Accessible to Tribal Treaty Fisheries (Zone 6)
• U.S. vs. Oregon Management Agreement contains 86 million of these fish– Release location, marking, broodstock, facility

Who Funds Hatchery Production?
• Idaho Power Company• Bureau of Reclamation• Corps of Engineers - John Day Mitigation & Dworshak• Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (BPA)• Mitchell Act• Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund• Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Program (BPA)• Mid Columbia Public Utility Districts (PUDs)• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service• Portland General Electric• Tacoma Public Utilities• State Funds• Sports Fish Restoration Funds

The majority of hatchery programs in the Columbia Basin are producing fish to mitigate for the development and operation of the hydrosystem. As long as the dams are in place there is a legal obligation to provide fish.
Example: Lower Snake River Compensation Plan – estimated 48% survival reduction….spring/summer Chinook – mitigation
responsibility to produce 293,500 adults:
234,800 - harvest 58,700 - escape to Snake River
Juvenile Production – 10 M with and SAR of 0.65%

• U.S. vs. Oregon Management Agreement contains 86 million of these fish
• About 30% (26 million juveniles) of the fish released above BON are produced for supplementation or fishery/supplementation.
• 67% primarily for harvest.
