Columbia River Fisheries Development Program annual report - F.Y. 1980

1980 proved to be a successful year at most Program hatcheries. Expenditures of almost $4.9 million on hatchery O & M resulted in the release of an estimated 114.6 million Pacific salmon and steelhead trout smolts weighing almost 3 million pounds. In most cases, returning adult fish supplied enough eggs to meet current production goals. Where shortages did occur, sufficient supplies of eggs were available at other Program hatcheries to fill production requirements.
