Evaluation of the juvenile fish collection, transportation, and bypass facility at Little Goose Dam, 1990

Our research objectives in 1990 were 1) to determine if there were any areas in the new facility which caused either excessive descaling, injury, or stress to juvenile or adult salmonids and 2) to evaluate the reliability and efficiency of the new sampling system. Because the new juvenile fish facility will handle an estimated 3 to 3.5 million juvenile salmonids and over 3,000 adult salmonids (as fallbacks) annually, it was important to evaluate the entire system early in the spring so that any major problems could be corrected before the principal 1990 spring migration arrived at the dam.
