Project 9105100 was initiated in 1991 in response to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listings in the Snake River Basin of the Columbia river system. Primary objectives were 1) to address the need for further synthesis of historical tagging and other biological information to improve understanding and to help identify future research and analysis needs and 2) to develop improved monitoring and evaluation capabilities, statistical methodologies and software tools to assist in-season river management in optimizing operational and fish passage strategies to maximize the protection and survival of listed threatened and endangered Snake river salmon populations.
Project performs analysis and integration of historic and in-season mainstem migration timing data collected by the Smolt Monitoring Program and other mainstem research projects on wild and hatchery-reared salmonid smolts, with emphasis on Snake River wild threatened or endangered stocks. This project has evaluated the information content of historical tagging studies on Columbia and Snake River salmonids. Information is being supplied to help design and direct future research efforts and determine reliability of existing information. Historical data has and continues to be explored to reveal possible relationships between river conditions and salmonid survival, outmigration timing, speed, and outmigration success.
This project has developed new approaches and tools which generate on-line Internet-based information including real-time in-season predictions of the general migration status of Columbia and Snake River smolt migrations with emphasis on Snake River ESA stocks. In 1994, Program RealTime was developed to take advantage of historical PIT-tagging and passage index data for listed threatened and endangered Snake River wild salmon populations to make real-time in-season predictions of general migration timing to assist fish and hydrosystem management in optimizing operational and fish passage strategies to maximize protection and survival. Program RealTime uses state-of-the-art approaches to pattern recognition, nonlinear least-squares, feedback loops, numerical logic, and bootstrap variance estimation in making predictions. Since 1995, program RealTime has provided in-season predictions of the “percent run-to-date” and “date to specified percentiles” for a number of individual streams included in the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) ecological significant unit (ESU) for Snake River wild spring/summer yearling chinook. Beginning in 1995, program RealTime was extended to generate predictions of the general migration status and trend of the summer outmigration of Snake River wild subyearling chinook.
Specific accomplishments by year include:
1991: Report on historical brand release data for the Snake River.
1992: Report on a "strawman" smolt monitoring design for Snake/Columbia River systems.
1993: Report on adult PIT-tag returns.
1994: Development and testing of Program RealTime PIT Forecaster statistical software using pattern recognition and neuronets to predict the outmigration timing of spring runs of wild Snake River spring/summer chinook at Lower Granite Dam real-time.
1995: Refinement of RealTime PIT Forecaster statistical software and initial testing of RealTime Passage Index Forecaster statistical software to predict outmigration timing of summer/fall runs of juvenile subyearling chinook at Lower Granite Dam. Report on transportation benefit analysis methods
1996: RealTime model of this project linked with CRiSP model of project 8910800 to extend predictions of migration timing to include Lower Snake River hydroprojects and McNary Dam. Investigated extending real-time outmigration prediction to Mid-Columbia hydroprojects. Expansion of Internet access to cover historical run timing and flow data at all major hydroprojects. Expansion of on-line interactive Internet-based information to include in-season time series of PIT detections for the three NMFS Snake River Basin Ecologically Significant Units (ESUs) [i.e. ESA-listed juvenile spring/summer chinook, fall chinook and sockeye salmon] as they pass through the FCRPS. Report on Priest Rapids hatchery returns of fall chinook versus river conditions.
1997: Investigate extending outmigration timing predictions to Lower Columbia hydroprojects through inking program RealTime with CRiSP model. Incorporate predictions of flow augmentation and percent of run barged.
Tens of millions of coded-wire-tagged (CWT) and hundreds of thousands of passive-integrated-transponder-tagged (PIT-tagged) salmonid smolt are released into the Snake/Columbia River system annually. The data derived from these tagged fish provide needed information for post-season evaluation of outmigration success and inseason management of flow and spill. This project has provided needed analyses of smolt travel time, survival, and outmigration timing used in mainstem management and protection of endangered stocks of salmon.
Specific biological results of this project include:
1. Evaluation of travel time information contained in freeze-brand data.
2. Evaluation of the annual pattern of adult salmon returns to the upper Snake River from PIT-tag data.
3. Recommendations for complete life cycle survival studies using combined PIT/CWT releases.
4. Evaluation of the relationship between Priest Rapids hatchery fall chinook adult returns and river conditions.
5. Evaluation of effects of river pulsing on smolt travel times.
6. Evaluation of the benefits of smolt transportation at Priest Rapids and McNary Dams.
Together, these biological results are helping to evaluate past management decisions and improve future efforts to enhance wild salmonid stocks. Additionally, since 1994, the project has been providing run timing predictions of endangered wild salmonid stocks in the Snake River and making these predictions publicly available to the fisheries community.

This project promotes adaptive management by making available statistical, computer, and telecommunications resources which analyze, integrate and disseminate real-time information on the status and timing of Columbia and Snake River spring and summer smolt migrations. To this end, Program RealTime uses passage indices and PIT-tag detections to make daily predictions of the "percent run to date" and "date to specified percentiles" of wild endangered salmonid stocks in the Snake River and posts results daily on the World Wide Web for the fisheries community. These on-line Internet-based run timing predictions and historic and current timing plots for ESA stocks and NMFS Snake River Basin ESUs are available for use by NMFS, the TMT and other members of the fisheries community to assist in-season river management in optimizing operational and fish passage strategies to maximize the protection and survival of listed threatened and endangered Snake river salmon populations.
This project also promotes adaptive management by making the statistical tools and software programs produced by this effort available to all parties wishing to enhance the monitoring and evaluation and adaptive management capabilities of their projects or agencies.
1997 Investigate extending outmigration timing predictions to Lower Columbia hydroprojects. Incorporate predictions of flow augmentation and percent of run barged.
1998 Adapt program RealTime data analyses of outmigration timing to the changing needs of river managers. Add predictions of steelhead run timing and adjustments of run timing to changes in ambient conditions. Other analyses will examine return rates of PIT-tagged adult salmonids.
Project strives to use statistical methods to unravel the uncertainties of tagging data and outmigration dynamics.
Prediction of where the wild stocks of salmonid smolt are in their outmigration facilitates management decisions on the timing and placement of flow augmentation and spill to protect endangered stocks. Improved analytical ability to target flow augmentation to coincide with migratory timing of ESA and other salmonid and steelhead stocks in real-time supports the regional biological goal of increasing juvenile passage survival through the FCRPS.
The project's analyses of historical tagging data routinely tests hypotheses and looks for correlations between tag returns and environmental and human-related effects. Specific hypotheses include:
1. Flow-travel time relationships of outmigrating smolt
2. Flow-survival relationships of outmigrating smolt
3. Travel time-river pulsing relationships of outmigrating smolt
4. Temperature, turbidity, hatchery release numbers on in-river smolt survival
5. Low-adult return rate relationships.
With the increased focus on outmigration predictions, the project is testing basic hypotheses concerning outmigration timing and dynamics, that are tested annually when actual run timing is compared to daily predictions at the end of the season.
Alternatives for predicting outmigration timing were analyzed in technical reports DOE/BP-35885-7, DOE/BP-35885-8 , and DOE/BP-35885-9. Best approaches adopted.
Managing the river to protect Endangered Species and other salmonid and steelhead stocks requires knowing where the fish are and when and how to best augment flows to coincide with their migratory timing.
Historical databases on tag detections (brands, PIT-tag), tag recoveries (CWT and PIT), and ambient river conditions (flows, temperatures, spill volumes, etc.) are analyzed using SUN workstations and a variety of statistical methods (e.g., generalized linear models, nonlinear regression, mark-recapture theory). Predictions of outmigration timing are based on advanced mathematical/statistical techniques including fuzzy logic, generalized models, and bootstrap/jackknife procedures. Output of outmigration timing predictions posted on the World Wide Web.

This project has evaluated the information content of historical tagging studies on Snake and Columbia River salmonids. Information is being used in an adaptive management framework to help design and direct future research efforts and determine reliability of existing information. Historical data has and continues to be explored to reveal possible relationships between river conditions and salmonid survival, outmigration timing, speed and outmigration success. The transfer of information and learning to the region by year include:
1992: Report on a "straw man" smolt monitoring design for Snake/Columbia River systems.
1993: Report on adult PIT-tag returns to Lower Granite Dam.
1994: Report on development and testing of RealTime PIT Forecaster statistical software using pattern recognition and neuronets nets to predict the outmigration timing of spring runs of wild Snake River spring/summer chinook at Lower Granite Dam.
1995: Report on testing of RealTime PIT Forecaster in 1994. Refinement of RealTime PIT Forecaster and initial testing of RealTime Passage Index Forecaster statistical software to predict outmigration timing of summer/fall runs of juvenile fall chinook at Lower Granite Dam. Report on transportation benefit analysis methods. Draft report on Priest Rapids hatchery returns versus river conditions.
1996: Reports on spring and fall chinoook run timing. Final Report on Priest Rapids hatchery returns versus river conditions.
In addition, since 1995, real-time predictions on the migration timing of spring and summer smolt outmigrations of ESA-listed wild Snake River salmon stocks have been generated by Program RealTime and made available via the World-Wide Web for potential use by NMFS, the TMT and other members of the fisheries community to assist in-season river management in optimizing juvenile fish passage survival through the FCRPS.
The ultimate outcome - increased survival due to improved matching of water management and operations to migration timing - depends upon the effective use of these tools and forecasts by regional managers. The products of this effort - passage timing forecasts - are, in part, self evaluating since they incorporate precision or uncertainty estimates. The ultimate evaluation of these products will come from annual post-season evaluations performed by the contractor and possibly from other regional entities involved in in-season management, including the Fish Passage Center.
This contract provides a direct measure of current passage timing status of individual and composite (e.g. ESU) juvenile runs.
Actual application during juvenile migration will permit in-season managers to access the utility and accuracy of predictions. The model itself (Program RealTime) assists the evaluation by including precision estimates. Post-season analyses by the contractor and other regional entities will address overall performance.
Use and evaluation of these tools will provide direct feed back, both during and after the migration season. Posting of predictions via the World-Wide Web permits regional review and critique.
The region will have direct opportunity to evaluate performance by following that performance via the Internet during the in-season period. The model provides viewable measures of uncertainty that allow managers and the region to assess performance. Post-season analysis is automatically provided by the tool upon completion of the migration of interest and management entities can be expected to evaluate the tool's utility and performance.
The project has annually incorporated constructive criticisms and suggestions to improve methods and limit the effects of uncertainties associated with input information, predictive methods, and error estimation.
Public has real-time access to all data and findings reported daily on World Wide Web pages.
