Migrant releases from Oregon Columbia Basin hatch- 

 eries represent 20 c r (698 million migrants) of the 1960-76 

 Pacific coast total by number and 19^ [20.3 million 

 pounds (9.2 million kg)], by weight (Tables 20, 21). Fall 

 chinook salmon, with 44 million migrants released, was 

 the main species by number reared in 1976 followed by 

 coho salmon, spring chinook salmon, and steelhead 

 trout. The same year, the largest release by weight was of 

 coho salmon, 600,000 lb (272,200 kg) followed by fall chi- 



nook salmon, spring chinook salmon, and steelhead 

 trout. 



The Columbia River Development Program 

 ("Program") had an important impact on anadromous 

 fish in Oregon's portion of the Columbia Basin. Funds 

 were provided for stream clearance and improvement as 

 well as for fishway and hatchery construction or recon- 

 struction. Fishways were built on the Clatskanie River, 

 Eagle Creek, and Scappoose Creek, among others, and 

 the existing fishway at Willamette Falls was rebuilt. On 

 streams such as the Calpooia and Clatskanie Rivers as 

 well as Big, Tide, Goble, Eagle, Deep, Clear, Abernathy, 

 and Delph Creeks, where needed, accumulated debris, 

 logjams, and splash dams were removed. The State fish- 

 eries agencies screened problem irrigation diversion 

 ditches and canals to prevent loss of trout and salmon 

 fingerlings. Sandy, Cascade, Eagle Creek, and Gnat 

 Creek hatcheries were constructed under the Program. 

 Bonneville, Oxbow, Klaskanine, and Big Creek hatcher- 

 ies were either renovated or completely reconstructed. 



One of the major accomplishments of the Program in 

 Oregon was the development or improvement of runs of 

 several salmonid species in the area above Willamette 

 Falls. A three-part project, the initial phase was a co- 

 operative study of passage problems over Willamette 

 Falls. Monies were then provided to stock the upper 

 Willamette River and its tributaries as well as for stream 

 clearance and improvement. In the final phase, the 

 Program provided the major portion of funding the $4.1 

 million fishway. As a result of these efforts, runs of fall 

 chinook salmon and summer steelhead trout have been 

 developed and spring chinook and coho salmon have in- 

 creased.
