They killed 1.7MM smolts by stranding them in small pools. This is 17 times greater than the usual smolt kill.

Good God that is sickening!!! If only 1/2 of 1% of those 1.6 Million made it back, that is 80,000 adult Salmon that will not be back in 3-4 years. BPA You REALLY Blew It !!! [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Yeah, the article also said that this number was only 7% of the annual fall chinook fry production for the area, but this may make up only a small part of the overall fry killed this year. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]
