Monitoring native nonsalmonids for the incidence of gas bubble trauma downstream of Snake and Columbia River dams during the spring spill season, 2022
In 2020, a new spill program was implemented to aid the downstream passage of juvenile salmonids at mainstem dams on the Snake and Columbia rivers. Under this program, the total
dissolved gas (TDG) cap was increased to 125% and monitoring of native nonsalmonids for gas
bubble trauma (GBT) became a requirement. The primary objective of this work was to measure
the incidence and severity of GBT in
