2 Capable of precise navigation at multiple spatial scales Open ocean to freshwater Within freshwater system Site of incubation Homing confers an evolutionary advantage, just as migration does Allows for local adaptation Improves likelihood of successful reproduction Evident in many species mountain whitefish, northern pikeminnow, largescale suckers

3 Evolutionary mechanism to avoid disturbance Mt. St. Helens Flooding Colonize newly accessible habitats Glacier Bay, AK Upper Cedar River, WA Find better spawning habitat?

4 Jack Creek Easton Clark Flat Roza Dam

5 Hatcheries are controversial and expensive Each adult fish costs $14 - $530 (WA Ecology 2002) Create jobs and fishing opportunity Genetic and ecological risks to wild fish Integrated practices rely on habitat, which may be fully utilized by wild fish

6 Extensive survey September 2007 Channel type (1,2,3) Unit type (PO,GP,GR, RI) Channel width Depth Substrate Cover Wood Fish abundance 125 m Survey summary 140 km mainstem 20 km side channel

7 Carcass and redd surveys ( ) Surveys conducted by Yakama Nation and NOAA Fisheries GPS location Origin (CWT) Gender Age class Length 2007 Redds 125 m

8 How does available habitat compare near hatchery facilities on the Yakima River? If a fish strays from its acclimation area, is it due to habitat differences?
