River basin development and the management of anadromous 



fisheries: an economic analysis of the Columbia River 



experience. 



Ph. D. thesis, Univ. Calif. (Berkeley), Dep. Agri. Econ. , 793 pp. 



Large main-stream dams have affected the habitat for anadromous 



fish runs in the Columbia River, which accounts for 40% of the 



U.S. hydroelectric power potential and 25% of the salmon and 



steelhead catch in the Northwest. This study focuses on an 



evaluation of the costs and benefits of mitigation programs (fish 



passageways and hatcheries) and on the institutional setting for 



these programs. Capital outlay, annual costs of operation and 



maintenance, costs of biological research and investigation and 



public and private power company costs are estimated for 1939-69 



and for future continuation of the programs. Benefits and costs 



are compared. Methodology problems for sport fishery evaluation 



are reviewed, and future demands for sport fishing are estimated. 



With respect to institutions, an analysis is made of tenure 



status of the resource, conceptual validity and operational 



usefulness of limited entry, legal and social institutional fish 



protection, and the effectiveness of State fishery regulations.

The economic and biological feasibility study of rearing chinook 



salmon, chum salmon and Pacific oysters at the Squaxin Island, 



Port Gamble and Skokomish reservations.

Final Report, 60 pp. (Obtain from NTIS, COM-73- 101 10 .) 



The techniques are described for experimentally growing chinook 



and chum salmon in nylon webbed pens. Results at Squaxin Island 



indicate that chinook salmon did well, but chum salmon suffered 



high mortality in the summer. Preliminary data suggest that 



Squaxin Island and Port Gamble may be able to support commercial 



raft culture of Pacific oysters, and that this may be quite 



profitable, but further investigation is suggested for all three 



reservation sites. The authors warn that member tribes lack
