| Notes | Salmon River winter steelhead run trend was downward (-7.7%/year). The much smaller summer steelhead run was also down slightly (-0.1%/year). The Salmon River summer steelhead run was introduced from Siletz River stock. Authors estimated that 70% of spawning winter steelhead were of hatchery origin. Hatchery practices (past and present) identified as major threat to genetic integrity for steelhead in this area. |
