HGMP Addendum: What we will have a good understanding of by 2017

  • Adult hatchery and natural returns to Lower Granite Dam (LGR)
  • Adult hatchery and natural escapement above LGR
  • Percentage of the hatchery-origin spawners (pHOS)
  • Run reconstruction, 2003 - 2016
  • Parentage-based tagging (PBT), 2016
  • Percentage of the natural-origin fish used in hatchery broodstock (pNOB)
  • Run reconstruction, 2007 - 2016
  • Parentage-based tagging (PBT), 2016
  • Age-at-return for hatchery- and natural-origin fish
  • Genetic diversity and effective population size

Snake River fall Chinook genetic diversity

  • Snake River fall Chinook were distinct (Utter et al. 1982; Marshall et al. 2011)
  • But, by how much (Kassler et al. 2004; Hecht et al. 2015)
  • Demonstrated high levels of genetic diversity

(Marshall et al. 2011; Narum et al. 2007)

  • Consistently high Nb/N ratio
