FPC SMP Multi-Year Regression Input Data Including Multi-Year Reach Annual Survival Estimates and Fish Travel Times

FPC SMP Multi-Year Regression Input Data Including Multi-Year Reach Annual Survival Estimates and Fish Travel Times

This query allows users to review and download annual smolt survival estimates, fish travel time estimates, water transit times, average spill and water temperatures for Chinook yearlings, Chinook subyearlings, steelhead and sockeye for three reaches: Lower Granite Dam to McNary Dam, McNary Dam to Bonneville Dam and Rock Island Dam to McNary Dam. These data were reported in the 2010 FPC Annual Report, smolt monitoring chapter, section H, entitled "Reach Survival Analyses".

Field name Description
year Migration year of juvenile pittaged fish used in reach survival estimates.
reldates Range of dates used for survival cohort, ranges from 1 to 4 weeks.
medianftt Median Fish travel time is the median number of days from PIT-tag detection at upper dam to lowest dam in reach.
survival Estimated survival from tailwater of upper dam to lowest dam using CJS methodology. The majority of the Smolt Monitoring Program (SMP) survival estimates are calculated for evaluation of hydrosystem effects in particular reaches on aggregate PIT-tag populations. These aggregates incorporate all available PIT tags to estimate survival for the run-at-large. Reach survival estimates are divided into short time intervals so that environmental effects such as flow, spill and temperature can be evaluated in relation to survival. Additionally in a few cases, survival is estimated for specific SMP releases of interest such as from large traps or other smolt monitoring facilities (e.g. Snake River Trap or Rock Island Dam). Releases from these specific sites of interest are on an annual smolt migration basis.
varience Variance around survival estimate adjusted for over dispersion (c-hat).
wtt Water Transit time. Number of days for water volume in reservoir to pass downstream project based on discharge.
avgspill Average spill percentage for all dams in the reach during cohort passage (based on median FTT plus or minus ½ the number of days in release.
temp_c Average temperature at tailwater tdgs monitors at all dams in the reach.
species Ch = Chinook, st = steelhead, soc = sockeye. Combining the species and year code: Ch1 = yearling Chinook, Ch0 = subyearling Chinook
rearcode Rearing code is either ‘H’ for hatchery, ‘W’ for wild or ‘U’ for unknown.
age Age is the number of years (winters) of freshwater residence since emergence from egg. (Literally the number of new year’s days in freshwater).
reach The series of dams that were included in survival estimation. LGRMCN - Lower Granite Dam to McNary Dam; MCNBON - McNary Dam to Bonneville Dam; RISMCN - Rock Island Dam to McNary Dam.
