2 Outline Reach survival Hydropower system survival
Hydropower system travel time Seasonal effects of transport PIT tag trawl Bird predation

3 Reach Survival Estimates
Used to assess progress in improving inriver travel time and survival and identify problem areas in the hydropower system

4 Reach Survival Estimates
Used to assess progress in improving inriver travel time and survival and identify problem areas in the hydropower system Relies mostly on tagging from other studies throughout the basin

5 Reach Survival Estimates
Used to assess progress in improving inriver travel time and survival and identify problem areas in the hydropower system Relies mostly on tagging from other studies throughout the basin Under represented species tagged at Lower Granite (wild Chinook, wild and hatchery steelhead)

6 Reach Survival Estimates
Used to assess progress in improving inriver travel time and survival and identify problem areas in the hydrosystem Relies mostly on tagging from other studies throughout the basin Under represented species tagged at Lower Granite (wild Chinook, wild and hatchery steelhead) Estimates are from tailrace to tailrace (1 dam and reservoir)
