Northern Pikeminnow; Rocky Reach Dam

                         ID #   7

                   Authors   West, Todd R.

       Publication Date   February 1999

            Produced By   Chelan County PUD, Fish and Wildlife Operations - Wenatchee, WA

                Summary   Northern pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) are an indigenous Columbia River fish species.  The

                                 Northern pikeminnow is one of the most abundant predator on out-migrating juvenile salmonids in the

                                 Columbia River. Northern pikeminnow are transient in behavior.  They travel throughout the reservoirs, as

                                 well as through hydroelectric projects to reach spawning habitat and optimum foraging areas.  The Public

                                 Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County was committed to radio tag Northern pikeminnow to monitor their

                                 movements upstream and downstream of the Rocky Reach Dam in 1998.  The objective of this project was

                                 to determine where the fish congregate during pre, peak, and post spawning periods.  The area studied on

                                 the Columbia River in 1998 included the Rock Island Dam tailrace to the Wells Dam tailrace including the

                                 mouths of the Wenatchee Entiat, and Chelan rivers.

Northern Squawfish

     Publication Name   Northern Squawfish (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) Population Reduction Program Rocky Reach Dam and

                   Authors   Perleberg, A. B.

       Publication Date   September 1996

            Produced By   Chelan County PUD, Fish and Wildlife Operations - Wenatchee, WA

                Summary   Northern Squawfish (Ptychocheilus oregonensis)  have been identified as the most abundant predator on

                                 juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River, and concentrate in hydroelectric project tailraces during the late

                                 spring and summer months, concurrent with peak smolt migrations.  The Public Utility District of Chelan

                                 County initiated an ongoing predator removal program in 1994.  This document reports on the methods and

                                 materials utilized for population reduction, a discussion of the results, project cost analysis, project

                                 recommendations, and literature cited.

                Summary   Northern Squawfish are one of the most abundant predators of juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River. 

                                 The Squawfish concentrate in the hydroelectric project tailraces during the late spring and summer

                                 months, concurrent with peak smolt migrations.  Total expenditures for the 1997 Squawfish removal

                                 program with the USDA totaled $147,086.31, $16.01 per Squawfish.  In addition to the total catch of the

                                 USDA, the District's contribution to the Squawfish Derby of $6,720.00 and an additional 2,240 Squawfish

                                 caught put the project cost at $153,806.31, $13.46 per Squawfish.
