9 Migration Survival Wks Test: PIT-Tag Sockeye at Priest Rapids Dam Off Ladder Adult Fish Trap WFTS: 391 PIT-Tagged Sockeye WFTS tube transported 100 ft to calm water channel to complete ladder passage Non-WFTS: 395 PIT-Tagged Sockeye hand carried to calm water channel to complete ladder passage Results: Upriver survival not affected by WFTS transport Week Treatment Priest Rapids Rock Island Rocky Reach Wells or Tumwater Zosel OKC Non-WFTS 93.43% 82.7% 60.7% 65.2% 43.9% 24.9% WFTS 93.6% 83.7% 55.7% 70.2% 42.7% 25.4%

10 Wk Test Conclusions: Sockeye transport through the WFTS had no impact on subsequent Sockeye: Survival Migration Time Passage Time No evidence of an aberrant effect of Sockeye transport through the WFTS on: Homing Disease Transmission Behavior

11 Wk 30 WFTS Over the Dam Feasibility Test WFTS: 54 PIT-Tagged Sockeye WFTS tube transported 180 ft over the dam crest and exited directly into the forebay 8-10 sec average time Non WFTS: 56 PIT-Tagged Sockeye hand carried to calm water channel to complete ladder passage 2.88 hours average time (12 minutes to 12 hours)

12 Results: WFTS over the dam enabled faster migration times -(>10% faster) Statistically Significant Findings: ~1/2 day faster ~ one full day faster
