'Derived from Wahle et al. (1975) prior to 1974 and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife hatchery release reports. 

 n lb = 0.454 kg. 



In the late 1940's salmon and steelhead trout popula- 

 tions along the Pacific coast began to decline because of 

 increased fishing pressure, loss of habitat, and fish 

 passage problems at newly constructed hydroelectric 

 projects. This decline stimulated increased hatchery pro- 

 duction efforts. The Lower Columbia River Develop- 

 ment Program, of the then Bureau of Commercial Fish- 



eries, funded the construction of a number of hatcheries, 

 including Willard, Kalama Falls, Abernathy, and Klicki- 

 tat, and the renovation of other facilities already in oper- 

 ation. Several new hatcheries were built in California in- 

 cluding the Coleman NFH constructed by the U.S. 

 Bureau of Reclamation for the USFWS to replace two fa- 

 cilities inundated by the filling of Shasta Lake.
