| Notes | Chum salmon: The Siletz fails ODFW abundance/productivity criteria for chum salmon, "because abundance levels in these populations have been chronically low." Winter steelhead: Over 10% of spawning fish are of hatchery origin, compromising wild runs. Summer steelhead: low productivity of wild run, low independence of wild and hatchery steelhead. "high numbers of hatchery spawners pushed abundance levels beyond the average wild abundance ... raising the possibility of density dependence.""Beginning in 2000, wild fish were selectively passed at Siletz Falls [to go on to spawn], and hatchery fish were either recycled downstream into the recreational fishery, or were removed from the system." |
