Agency Creek Nutrient Enhancement On November 29, 2001, employ ees of the Fish and Wildlife Depart ment placed 200 Coho salmon car casses in Agency and West Fork Agency Creeks to add nutrients that enhance stream value to fish and wildlife. Carcasses were ob tained through the Oregon De partment of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), and came from the Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery. The hatchery froze the fish indi vidually and then stored them in their freezer for the Tribal biolo gist to pick up. The average weight of each fish was 8.5 pounds totaling about 1,700 pounds. Similar stream enrichments have occurred, recently, in the Upper Clackamas and Sandy Rivers and Rogue Valley area streams. The purpose of placing adult salmon carcasses in waterways is to pro vide nutrients to juvenile anadro mous (ocean migrating) fish, as well as other animals in the riparian habitat. These nutrients are in lim ited supply because the number of spawning salmonids has decreased drastically. After spawning, the vast majority of these fish die and the nutrients they obtained during their stay in the ocean are then re cycled into the freshwater system. A recent study in western Wash ington found 137 species of birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles that were predators or scavengers of salmon at one or more stages of the salmon life cycle. Other stud- M : J In IS' 1-v La (JS, ies have shown that the addition of salmon carcasses causes an increase in body weight and numbers of ju venile fish. The fish were distributed in ap proximately three miles of Agency and West Fork Agency Creeks, on Tribal lands, along Agency Creek Road. "We primarily threw fish di rectly from the truck bed into the creek. We also carried a few to the creek, when it was a little farther from the road. In all cases, we at tempted to place fish in backwaters, behind logs, along the margins or in areas where they would not rap idly move downstream. This was somewhat difficult as the fish were frozen and floated, and the water was fairly high on this day," said Jeff Baker, Tribal Biologist. When this nutrient enhancement is done again in the future, more Tribal streams will be included.
