Total Loss — Clipped and Unclipped Steelhead

Size (Fork Length) Distribution of Steelhead Loss

Figure compares density plots that highlight historical (WY1994 to WY2023) size distribution and histogram of current year (WY2024) size distribution by rear type (yellow = unclipped; blue = clipped). Fork lengths below 750 mm were included in dataset.

Size (Fork Length) Distribution of Steelhead Loss

Cumulative Loss by BiOp Status and Hydrologic Classification Index

The figure shows cumulative loss by BiOp Status and Hydrological Classification Index (HCI). Each quadrant of the faceted plot includes grey lines for historical years, colored lines (blue for wet years, red for dry years) for years within the BiOp status and HCI type, a black line for the current year, and a dashed horizontal line indicating the current cumulative loss maximum.

Loss Single Year Thresholds

Minimization of Loss

Annual loss of clipped juvenile steelhead at the salvage facilities and total hatchery juvenile steelhead release numbers for brood years 2016 to 2023*. From 2016 to 2024, average annual % lost to the facilities was 0.153%. Note that release locations and dates, which vary by year, were not considered for this calculation. USBR acquired hatchery release numbers from: CDFW hatchery releases- Calfish.org and USFWS hatchery releases data provided by Kevin Offill, 3/13/2024. Water facility loss data acquired from: SacPAS and reflects Water Year 2017 - 3/12/2024. * BY23 includes all fish released prior to 3/14/2024 (data is preliminary).
