California Fishery Managers Releasing Millions Of Hatchery Chinook Salmon To Take Advantage Of Storm-Induced High Flows; Higher Survival Expected
Anticipating good conditions for the survival of hatchery-produced Chinook salmon throughout the Sacramento River and tributaries, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will release both spring and fall-run Chinook during the historic rain and snowfall the state is experiencing. Several releases have already happened, and others are planned over the next few weeks to utilize good in-river habitat conditions for these young salmon.
