STREAMNET DATA STORE

Add Your Data Set


Use our Data Publishing Service to add your data set to the Data Store.

The StreamNet Data Store is a searchable archive of data sets related to fish and other aquatic resources that are not of the specific data types included in the main StreamNet database. These data sets come from many different sources and are provided for download in their original formats. To add your own data set to the Data Store, use our Data Publishing Service.

StreamNet did not participate in creation of most of these data sets, and we are not able to answer questions about those we did not help develop. For questions about the data sets available from this page, please contact the originator of the particular data set.

To search the Data Store, enter key words, project numbers, species, methods, etc. into the search box below and click "Search".

Project Name & Number 1991-029-00
Purpose of Data Set Staff of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U. S. Geological Survey has responded to emerging issues relative to the recovery of Snake River fall Chinook salmon through project 199102900 for 30 years. We propose to help managers increase fall Chinook salmon production in the free-flowing Snake River by using existing and newly collected field data to answer five critical questions: (1) is the progression of life history events changing over time; (2) is growth during rearing and seaward movement changing over time; (3) could survival to the tailrace of Lower Granite Dam be increased; (4) could interactions between wild and hatchery smolts be reduced; and (5) does summer spill benefit fall Chinook salmon migrants? We answer these questions by accomplishing the following five objectives: (1) increasing the effectiveness of hydrosystem operations; (2) maximizing growth of wild fall Chinook salmon; (3) increasing the survival of wild fall Chinook salmon subyearlings; (4) reducing the potential for wild-hatchery fish interaction; and, (5) increasing the understanding of the efficacy of spill. To accomplish our objectives, we will PIT tag wild subyearlings and analyze subsequent detection data to estimate survival, growth, describe run timing and life history attributes, and evaluate the effectiveness of summer spill. We will explore the roles of food availability, growth, and habitat rearing capacity as potential limiting factors to Snake River fall Chinook salmon.
