| Notes | The Oregon Coast ESU was given a "Sensitive" status. The Coast showed good resistance to stress and long-term survival, but many streams had more than 50% hatchery spawners. Siletz hatchery smolt program reduced from 80,000 to 50,000 fish in 1995. Predicts proportion of hatchery fish to native spawners on the Siletz will drop to 20%. Hatchery releases on Drift Creek terminated in 1995; estimated percentage of hatchery spawners there believed to drop to 10%. Criticizes the methodology of the Busby, et al. (1996) study. Charts. |
