Hatchery Review: Oregon LSRCP Hatchery Assessments and Recommendations

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiated a series of hatchery reviews in May 2005 to assure that its hatchery programs in the Pacific Northwest are part of a scientifically-sound and integrated strategy - consistent with State, Tribal, and other Federal strategies - for conserving wild stocks and managing fisheries in watersheds within the Region. The reviews examined 53 hatchery programs at 24 federally-owned hatcheries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. All Hatchery Reviews were completed in January 2011.

This final report and associated appendices addresses hatchery programs and hatchery operations at Oregon state-owned hatcheries that are part of the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan.
