Abernathy Creek provides spawning 

and rearing habitat for migrating 

steelhead, chum, coho, and Chinook 

salmon, cutthroat and rainbow trout, 

Pacic lamprey, and other 

lesser-known species. The U.S. Fish & 

Wildlife Service’s Abernathy National 

Fish Hatchery was built along 

Abernathy Creek in 1959 under 

authorization of the Mitchell Act to 

mitigate the impacts of Bonneville 

Dam on Pacic salmon. The hatchery 

was converted into a research facility in 

1961 and was named Abernathy Fish

Technology Center in 2000.

The facility has three research 

programs: Conservation Genetics, 

Nutrition and Physiology, and 

Quantitative Ecology and Technology. 

The programs conduct studies and 

provide expertise on sh culture, 

conservation, mitigation, tribal trust 

responsibilities, restoration, and 

recovery eorts for shery resources.
