Dworshak National Fish Hatchery 

Dworshak National Fish 

Hatchery is located at the 

confluence of the North Fork 

and main stem of the Clearwater 

River near the town of Ahsahka, in 

north central Idaho. The site is 

three miles west of Orofino on the 

north bank of the Clearwater River, 

one mile downstream from 

Dworshak Dam. 

Authorization for 

Dworshak Dam 

and Reservoir 

included a fish 

hatchery, Public 

Law 87-874, dated 

23 October 1962. 

The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers 

purchased the land 

in 1967, and 

designed and constructed the 

facility. 

Dworshak is 

owned by the U.S. 

Shocking and Cleaning Chinook Eggs Army Corps of 

Engineers and 

operated by the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service since 1968. The 

worlds largest summer steelhead 

trout producer, Dworshak was constructed to maintain the unique 

run of sleelhead found in the North 

Fork of the Clearwater River threatened with extinction by construction of the Dam. Dworshak 

provides donor eggs for steelhead 

in the Salmon River drainage and 

plays a key role in supplying the 

Dworshak Reservoir with rainbow 

trout each year. 

The Kooskia hatchery, 35 miles 

upriver from Dworshak on the 

Clearwater River, has operated as a 

Complex with Dworshak since 1978 

to restore the spring chinook fishery in the Clearwater. The administrative headquarters for the 

Dworshak-Kooskia Complex is 

located at the Dworshak hatchery. 

The Dworshak Fish Health Center 

and the Idaho Fishery Resource 

Office are co-located at the 

Dworshak station. 

Operations began in 1969, with 

completion of the first phase of 

construction. This provided a total 

reuse system for 25 ponds and a 

single-pass system for 59 ponds. A 

second phase in 1972 placed all 

ponds on recycled flow. The hatchery has an option to operate the 

outside ponds on either single pass 

or recycled flow; the latter option 

used only for heating water during 

the winter months for added 

growth in steelhead production. 

Subsequent construction and 

design concept changes have modified many of the facility's earlier 

features.

ederal responsibility for stewardship of the Nation's diverse 

and valuable fishery resources 

dates to 1871 when Congress established the position of U.S. 

Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries 

in response to the decline of 

domestic food fish supplies. 

Although much effort has been 

directed toward protection of fishery resources, many, if not most, of 

the Nation's aquatic ecosystems 

continue to deteriorate. Many economically important inland and 

coastal fishery resources are declining at an alarming rate due to the 

combined effects of overfishing, 

degraded aquatic habitats, water 

pollution, dam construction, and 

other manmade phenomena. 

A goal of the Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) is to provide leadership to conserve, restore, 

enhance, and manage fishery 

resources and their supporting 

aquatic ecosystems to perpetuate 

their many benefits for future generations. Extensive field presence, 

land management authorities, and 

broad fish and wildlife management capabilities and experience 

enable the Service to focus on scientific management of nationally 

significant fishery resources. 

The Service maintains a network of 

77 fish hatcheries, 53 fishery 

resource offices, nine fish health 

centers and five fish technology 

centers to accomplish it's fisheries 

mission. The Service's leadership in 

the area of fish propagation is the 

result of more than I 00 years of 

hands-on experience at hatcheries 

such as the Craig Brook NFH in 

Maine and Leadville N FH in 

Colorado. 

The expertise of the Service's fisheries personnel and the diverse 

facilities available to them are 

directed to the restoration of inland 

and coastal fishery resources and 

habitats, mitigation for impacts to 

native fisheries from Federal water 

projects, assessment and recovery 

of threatened and endangered 

fishes, maintenance of viable recreational fisheries, and fishery management on National Wildlife 

Refuges, Tribal lands, and military 

lands. 

This report summarizes the propagation and distribution of fish and 

fish eggs for the period October I, 

1992 through September 30, 1993. 

Most of the fish and eggs produced 

by the National Fish Hatchery 

System supports restoration and 

mitigation efforts. In addition, 

Service hatcheries make significant 

contributions to recreational fishing and fishery management on 

Federal lands. A growing area of 

emphasis is propagation of threatened and endangered fish species 

for recovery efforts. The Service 

also produces fish and eggs to support research and education.

( ) Striped Bass Restoration 

) 

S

triped bass have supported 

important commercial and 

recreational fisheries along the 

Atlantic Coast with population size 

and landings remaining fairly consistent throughout the 1960's. After 

a historically high production of 

juveniles in 1970, numbers began 

to decline drastically reaching a 

record low in 1981. Commercial 

landings on the Atlantic Coast 

reached a historic high of 14.7 million pounds in 1973. However, 

landings fell to 2.4 million pounds 

in 1982 and reached a historic low 

of 0.4 million pounds in I 987 

because of coast-wide restrictions 

imposed in 1985. Gulf coast striped 

bass also underwent a precipitous 

decline in the 1950's and 60's. 

In 1981, the Fish and Wildlife 

Service participated in development of the Atlantic Striped Bass 

Management Plan which recommended increased minimum 

lengths and seasonal closures. In 

1984, the Atlantic Striped Bass 

Conservation Act was signed into 

law. In I 985 severely restrictive regulations were imposed on the 

Atlantic Coast as part of a program 

to restore striped bass to levels that 

would allow a viable, sustainable 

fishery. As part of the restoration 

process the states developed cooperative stocking programs with the 

Service. In 1989, the Chesapeake 

Bay juvenile index was sufficiently 

high to allow the opening of a limited transitional fishery. Historically 

high juvenile indices were measured up and down the coast in 

I 993 because of favorable climatic 

conditions and an increase in 

spawning stock biomass. 

Recognizing that the Atlantic 

Coastal fishery is well on its way to 

recovery, the Service is participating 

in the development of an amendment to the Atlantic Coast Plan that 

would define a recovered fishery 

and recommend appropriate management measures. The recovery of 

striped bass on the Atlantic Coast is 

being used as a model for management of other coastal fisheries on 

the decline. 

The Gulf Coast Striped Bass Plan 

was developed in 1986 to manage 

the restoration of stocks to coastal 

river systems. A stocking program 

was introduced in the 1980's by the 

Service on the Gulf coast. In I 992, a 

record harvest on the Apalad1icola 

River in Florida was attributed to 

the stocking program. 

With the assistance of tagged 

striped bass, the Service is evaluating the impact of stocked fish on 

both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. 

Over 8.2 million striped bass have 

been tagged with coded wire tags 

supplied by the Service. An additional 82,000 hatchery fish and 

I 00,000 wild fish have been tagged 

with external anchor tags. Tagged 

striped bass play an important role 

in determining survival, growth, 

habitat needs and migration rates.

Atlantic Salmon Restoration 

10 

T

he Fish and Wildlife Service 

(Service) has been involved in 

restoration of Atlantic salmon 

to New England rivers since the late 

19th Century. Early activities 

focused primarily on stocking of 

juvenile fish and produced modest 

success. However, no concerted 

effort to restore Atlantic salmon 

was made until the mid-1960s, 

when the Anadromous Fish 

Conservation Act was passed, providing for Federal cost-sharing with 

the States. Since then, the Servke 

has undertaken a major effort to 

restore the Atlantic salmon to its 

native rivers in New England. 

Direct Service expenditures on this 

effort exceed $40 million and total 

expenditures of all cooperators 

exceed $110 million. 

The current Atlantic salmon program is a cooperative effort of the 

States of Maine, New Hampshire, 

Vermont, Massachusetts, 

Connecticut, and Rhode Island, the 

Service, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service, and the Forest 

Service. Unlike earlier efforts, which 

relied primarily on stocking, the 

present effort focuses on a variety 

of activities to protect and enhance 

all life stages of Atlantic salmon. 

These activities include; protection 

and restoration of spawning and 

rearing habitat, reductions of high 

seas harvest, and providing adequate upstream and downstream 

fish passage to ensure successful 

completion of the life cycle. 

Production of hatchery fish plays a 

significant role in the restoration 

effort. The increased hatchery production in recent years stems 

largely from a shift to stocking fry 

rather than parr or smolls. 

Atlantic salmon restoration efforts 

have achieved several major 

accomplishments. Fish passage has 

been provided at all main stem 

dams on the Connecticut and 

Penobscot Rivers, at the lower three 

dams on the Merrimack River, and 

on many tributary streams. Efforts 

to reduce fishing mortality were 

boosted by an agreement with the 

Greenland Innuit to significantly 

reduce harvest of Atlantic salmon 

of North American origin. 

Agreements with many 

hydropower developers to increase 

instream flow releases have 

enhanced spawning and rearing 

habitat quantity and quality. For 

example, continued recreational 

harvest in the Penobscot River and 

generally increasing returns of 

adult salmon provide cause for 

optimism regarding restoration of 

the Atlantic salmon.

Lake Trout Restoration 

12 

F

or many years, the Great Lakes 

provided a large and successful commercial, tribal, and 

recreational fishery for lake trout, 

whitefish, walleye, and lake herring. 

By the mid 1950's, the combination 

of overharvest, sea lamprey predation, loss of habitat, and degradation of water quality resulted in 

virtual elimination of many valuable fish stocks. The native lake 

trout suffered the greatest loss. By 

1960, lake trout were extinct in all 

the Great Lakes, except Lake 

Superior, and the lake trout fishery 

had collapsed. 

Since 1955 the mission of the 

Service, States and Tribes of the 

Great Lakes basin has been to 

restore naturally reproducing lake 

trout in all the lakes. An aggressive 

stocking program has been combined with efforts to control the 

predatory sea lamprey, improve 

water quality, and regulate harvest. 

Over the past I 0 years, National 

Fish Hatcheries at Jordan River, 

Pendills Creek, Hiawatha Forest, 

and Iron River have stocked nearly 

65 million lake trout eggs, fry, and 

juveniles into the Great Lakes. 

Many of these fish are stocked on 

offshore reefs where lake trout are 

known to spawn and survival is 

thought to be the highest. In addition to these efforts, ongoing studies by Fisheries Resource Offices to 

determine survival and growth of 

hatchery produced lake trout and 

identify critical spawning habitat 

have contributed to the general 

recovery of the native fish of the 

Great Lakes. 

While progress towards restoring 

lake trout has been made in all the 

lakes, the degree of progress has 

been lake specific. Lake trout are 

restored in some sections of Lake 

Superior and further stocking in 

these areas may be eliminated. 

Naturally reproduced juvenile lake 

trout have been found in Lake 

Huron although high adult mortality threatens the recovery efforts. 

Significant numbers of spawning 

adult lake trout exist in Lake Erie 

although no eggs or juveniles have 

been found. Spawning lake trout in 

Lake Ontario and Lake Michigan 

are producing eggs and fry, but 

naturally produced adults have not 

been found. 

The Service's restoration efforts, 

conducted in cooperation with the 

extensive fishery programs of States 

and Tribes of the Great Lakes area, 

contribute to the protection and 

enhancement of the $4 billion fishery for the people of the Great 

Lakes basin.

Pacific Salmon and Steelhead Trout Restoration 

14 

D uring the past 20 years, 

Pacific salmon and steelhead 

management in the 

Northwest has been plagued by 

bitter conflict and litigation. Despite 

the efforts of a wide range of State, 

Federal, Tribal and private interests, 

salmon and steelhead populations 

of the West Coast continue to 

decline. Many stocks are being 

listed or considered for listing 

under the Endangered Species Act. 

These listings are straining the economic, social, and cultural fabric of 

the region. 

The Service is working closely with 

the National Marine Fisheries 

Service, the States of California, 

Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, 

other Federal agencies, Tribes and 

the public to develop and implement a cooperative West Coast 

Salmon Initiative to arrest the 

decline of these valuable resources. 

This initiative seeks to address 

problems related to overharvest, 

habitat, poor management practices and hydropower production. 

The Service's ongoing Pacific 

salmon restoration efforts consist of 

a carefully coordinated combination of hatchery propagation, wild 

stock management and habitat 

rehabilitation. Restoration programs in the Klamath, Trinity, and 

Chehalis River Basins are being 

implemented through coordinated 

efforts with States, other Federal 

and local agencies, Tribes and the 

public. 

In 1993 the Service initiated a 

cooperative effort with the Bureau 

of Reclamation to implement the 

Central Valley Improvement Act to 

restore anadromous fishery 

resources in the Sacramento River. 

The Coleman National Fish 

Hatchery has been a major contributor to these efforts. 

Pacific salmon restoration activities 

in the Columbia River Basin 

include efforts to address management of three stocks of Snake River 

salmon listed under the 

Endangered Species Act and 

restoration efforts to prevent future 

listings of other "at risk" stocks. 

Salmon production of the National 

Fish Hatchery System is carefully 

coordinated with wild stock management programs to ensure that 

natural stocks are not adversely 

impacted. In 1993, National Fish 

Hatcheries in Idaho, Oregon, and 

Washington produced over 10 million spring chinook salmon; 28 million fall chinook salmon; 7.9 million 

coho salmon; 2.3 million chum 

salmon; and about 5.3 million 

steelhead trout to supplement and 

mitigate natural production of the 

Columbia River Basin and western 

Washington river basins. 

Although much remains to be 

done, successful restoration of 

Pacific salmon and steelhead will 

provide important commercial and 

recreational fishing opportunities 

and contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to the economies of 

the West Coast of the United States 

and Canada.

r Dworshak National Fish Hatchery continued 

The hatchery was expanded in 1982 

under the Lower Snake River 

Compensation Plan (LSRCP) program and given additional responsibility for restoring spring chinook 

salmon in the Clearwater River. 

First release of chinook yearling 

smolts occurred in spring 1983. 

Water reuse is used 

extensively for 

rearing steelhead 

trout in the outside ponds. The 

ten percent new 

water recycle system allows heating 

during the winter. 

Chinook salmon 

and rainbow trout 

production remain 

on single-pass 

without benefit of 

heated water. 

Selector gates at 

Dworshak Dam

The uniqueness of Dworshak's 

water supply includes unheated, 

single-pass and heated reuse utilizing different temperature profiles, 

separates into five distinct production programs. This is further 

expanded when seven temperature 

options are available for fish rearing. Three additional temperature 

schematics are also used for regulating temperature units of egg 

development through the 

incubators. 

The Dworshak hatchery has capacity for producing 2.3 million steelhead smoltsi 1.4 million yearling 

chinook salmon smolts; and
