Salmon and Steelhead Killings Cut Spawn Populations
The 1973 low water year caused the loss of about 95 percent of young salmon and steelhead in the Snake and Columbia rivers. In 1975 adult returns were down across species at Bonneville Dam, with 85,540 steelhead, 104,104 spring chinook, and 44,300 summer chinook. Fisheries officials blame dams for high mortality, while cooperative flow management aided passages. The mortality underscores dam-related impacts on anadromous fish runs.
