[QUOTE="Glass, post: 164831, member: 4800"] This is a very poor written article! All salmonids evolved to live in lower temperature water, not sure if DL is above that threshold or not. The life cycle of the Chinook is they migrate to the ocean in the first year of life (depending on if they are spring or fall determines how long they remain in freshwater). Males will spend 0 (minijack), 1 (jack), or 2-3 (adult) in the ocean. Females will spend 2-3 years (typically, occasionally they come back at year 1) in the ocean before returning to spawn. All die after spawn, and as far as I know even making them sterile does not stop that cycle. The size of fish we catch on Sak are the equivalent size of a jack fish they catch on the west coast. The adults will eat lots of shrimp, and smaller fish, the juveniles will start out eating insects. I dont think the size of freshwater shrimp is large enough for an adult salmon to forage on, but I could be wrong. Anyway, just wanted to provide some information into their life cycle. As far a fish ladder on the dam here, I have never seen any signs of ones or do I think we have the need. Sturgeon will use ladders but not with much success, and I am not sure how much paddle fish use them. [/QUOTE]
