USGS Researchers Electrofishing on the Yakima River
Detailed Description
This is a photo from our scientists working with the Yakama Nation to remove smallmouth bass and other invasive salmon-eating predators. The work involves taking fin clips, scales, diet samples, and tagging and releasing larger fish. This fieldwork will continue through late May 2025. The crew shown in the photos are Ben, Becky, Jeff, and Chloe.

The Snake River in Idaho, USA, supports a popular sport fishery for nonnative Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu, but there are limited studies on the population dynamics of this introduced species in Idaho and other water systems in the western United States. The purpose of this study was to describe the population dynamics and demographics of Smallmouth Bass in the Snake River, Idaho...

Survival of juvenile chinook salmon and coho salmon in the Roza Dam fish bypass and in downstream reaches of the Yakima River, Washington, 2016 Survival of juvenile chinook salmon and coho salmon in the Roza Dam fish bypass and in downstream reaches of the Yakima River, Washington, 2016
Estimates of juvenile salmon survival are important data for fishery managers in the Yakima River Basin. Radiotelemetry studies during 2012–14 showed that tagged juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) that passed through the fish bypass at Roza Dam had lower survival than fish that passed through other routes at the dam. That study also identified flow-survival relationships...
