Survival estimates for the passage of juvenile Chinook salmon through Snake River dams and reservoirs, 1993

A pilot study was conducted to estimate survival of hatchery-reared yearling chinook salmon through dams and reservoirs on the Snake River. The goals of the study were to: 1) field test and evaluate the Single-Release, Modified-Single-Release, and Paired-Release Models for the estimation of survival probabilities through sections of a river and hydroelectric projects; 2) identify operational and logistical constraints to the execution of these models; and 3) determine the usefulness of the models in providing estimates of survival probabilities.
