KeywordsBig Creek, steelhead trout = Oncorhynchus mykiss, Tenmile Creek, Yachats River
NotesThe Oregon Coast ESU was given a "Sensitive" status. The Coast showed good resistance to stress and long-term survival, but many streams had more than 50% hatchery spawners. Lumps the Yachats River with the central coast Tenmile Creek basin and the Big Creek basin. No hatchery smolts released in these basins. Hatchery-reared steelhead spawning here mostly came from the Siuslaw. Estimate only 5% of spawning steelhead in these basins of hatchery origin. Criticizes the methodology of the Busby, et al. (1996) study. Charts.
