3 Background Relatively little known about estuary and ocean life cycle despite being the third most abundant species caught in both areas during most years Steelhead migrate to the ocean in late spring and early summer, and unlike other salmon species, they do not spend much time in the estuary and nearshore areas. Instead, they move quickly offshore to oceanic feeding grounds, bypassing the normal coastal migration route used by other salmon species
4 Outline Examine abundance and distribution of steelhead caught in the Columbia River estuary, plume and ocean for difference by season and year Examine a number of biological parameters (size, condition, growth, diets and feeding intensity) by year and region of capture Relate these to survival of steelhead under different ocean conditions
5 Estuary purse seine methods Sampling at edges of deep channels Every other week, mid April to late June Monthly sampling during July- October Fine mesh purse seine (10 m deep)
6
7 n=468
8 Ocean Methods Sampling along transects on shelf out to deepwater beyond shelf Every year during the last week of May and June One transect a day over 7-10 day period Fished large trawl (336 m 2 ) in surface waters for 30 min. All trawling in daytime

23 Conclusions Distribution: Present in estuary during late April through early June Widespread and present at all transects mostly in May Not sampling far enough west to capture all juveniles Different migration patterns than coho and Chinook Need to determine genetic stock of origin for offshore fish Hatchery Wild: Hatchery fish are longer, but wild fish are fatter Hatchery fish have more empty stomachs No difference in growth rates and marine residency times (Not shown) Need to examine diet differences Diet: Interannual variability related to ocean conditions and survival Wide variety of prey, fish most important (but also crab larvae and euphausiids)
