Estimating the Age and Origin of Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon at
Lower Granite Dam
Christian Smith USFWS Abernathy Lab, Longview, WA
Jody White Quantitative Consultants, Inc. Boise, ID
Cooperators: Matt Campbell and Tim Copeland, IDFGShawn Narum, CRITFCPaul Moran, NOAA-FisheriesScott Marshall, LSRCP
Objectives
• Estimate the age composition of Snake River Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon migrating upstream of Lower Granite Dam
• Determine the power and sensitivity of the Snake River Chinook baseline to allocate unknown individuals to reporting groups
• Estimate the stock composition using genetic mixture analysis of the Snake River Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon migrating upstream of Lower Granite Dam
General Methods• 2005 (8%) and 2006 (10%) Chinook migrating upstream
from April 1 – August 15 were sampled systematic/random) at LGR fish ladder (Jerry Harmon, NOAA fisheries)
• All fish were measured, scales sampled, external tags and marks noted, and scanned for PIT and CWT.
• All wild fish scales were read by IDFG technicians at Nampa Research, Nampa Idaho.
• All wild fish and a subsample of hatchery fish were genotyped at the USFWS Abernathy and IDFG Eagle Genetics Labs.

Genetics overview
1. Asses the power of standardized genetic baseline to infer origin of Chinook salmon in the Snake River
2. Use the baseline to allocate Chinook salmon sampled at LGD to Snake River reporting groups based on origin (hatchery vs wild) and age.
Genetic Mixture Analysis
1) proportional assignment (mixture analysis): Stock proportions of a mixture are estimated. E.g., 15% belong to pop 1
30% belong to pop 2 55% belong to pop 3
2) individual assignment (assignment tests): Stock assignments of individual fish are estimated. E.g., fish 1 is from pop 2
fish 2 is from pop 3 etc.
Genetic Mixture Analysis
1) Assignment / allocation to populations: Fish are assigned or proportions are allocated to
baseline populations.
2) Assignment / allocation to reporting groups: Genetically similar populations are pooled into
aggregates called “reporting groups” Fish are assigned or proportions are allocated to these
reporting groups.

MPGs vs genetic reporting groups
• MPGs combine spring and summer Chinook salmon, genetics separates all spring from summer, but is not able to distinguish among summer stocks.
• Grand Ronde / Clearwater / Imnaha / Rapid River grouping.– GR+Imn, Clear, Rapid or GR+Clear+Rapid, Imn
• Insufficient sampling of some MPGs?

ODFW Grande Ronde Estimate
Rapid River/Clearwater/Grande Ronde.
3477 3067 – 4121 993*
Example: How do we break down a large reporting unit into management areas?
Use the known escapement (esc.) estimates:Clearwater Esc. = Reporting Group - Grande Ronde Esc. – Rapid River Esc.
- Additional data from weirs in the Clearwater R.can be used to further partition the estimate.
Conclusions
1. Age composition estimates were very precise and accurate using scales from live fish at Lower Granite Dam
2. Baseline used here allows allocation to genetic reporting groups with ~90% accuracy. Allocation to MPGs and populations is generally less accurate. Baseline provides resolution for individual assignment for stream-type vs ocean-type Chinook.
3. ~<1% of fish sampled at LGD are duplicates4. Proportional assignment of hatchery and wild fish was consistent
over the two years for which samples were examined.5. Qualitative differences in age structure of fish assigned to
different reporting groups were noted, but none were statistically significant.
Further Questions and Discussion Topics
1. What is the required resolution for managers in the Snake River Basin?
2. Can we achieve that resolution in Snake River baseline?3. We need to develop variance estimators..? 4. Using scales patterns can we further refine the Hatchery/Wild
estimation at LGR (work is in progress at IDFG Nampa Research?5. We are close to completing the Steelhead baseline… do we want
to continue this work on Steelhead?
