fice of ODF&W and talked to Kevin Goodson, an
assistant district fish biologist. According to
Goodson, one purpose of the research facility is
to put Oregon, again, in the front line of salmon
research. Oregon used to be a leader in fish re
search and has fallen way behind in recent
years. The new facility will also be charged with
finding answers to questions about wild fish ver
sus hatchery fish - the impact of hatchery fish on
wild fish, ways to improve hatchery practices
and hatchery fish, and multitudes of other ques
tions about hatchery interactions with the natural
environment and native fish.
Plans for the facility are still on the drawing
board, but it will be designed to allow great flex
ibility, as will the avenues for investigation. An In
dependent Multidisciplinary Science Team
(IMST) is in charge of developing a work plan for
the new facility. The facility already has the basic
concrete ponds, but modifications will make the
ponds and raceways act more like streams.
There are also preliminary plans to construct
multiple streams at the facility. The purpose of
this kind of remodel is an attempt to mimic what
occurs naturally in a stream and document the
effects upon hatchery-raised fish compared to
wild fish.
Oregon State University has partnered with
ODF&W and the research facility will become a
learning center for OSU. It will also provide a
place for graduate and postgraduate study.
ODF&W anticipates that, by partnering with
OSU, they will have an edge in hiring the bright-

est and best graduates from OSU.
When I first heard about the siphoning of
Measure 66 funds, I was concerned that the
state legislature had, once again, done an end
run around the intent of the original measure. I
was surprised to learn, though, that the idea be
hind the new research facility actually came from
ODF&W, in fact from Director Lindsay Ball. I
called Lindsay, who was modest about accepting
credit for his idea because others had the same
idea, but it was through his talks with legislators
and his direction to his own personnel that this
plan has come together. Ball is deeply con
cerned about Oregon having fallen so far behind
in salmon research and he feels that we need
answers to the questions about hatchery fish
versus wild fish. In talking with Ball, it is apparent
that he feels there is a place for both wild fish
and hatchery fish; the question is just how they
fit together and what can be done on the hatch
ery level to ease negative impacts on wild fish.
In my opinion, the new research facility is a
positive step; without knowledge we cannot
manage effectively. We should not expect quick
answers, though, because much of this research
will require multiple generations, which, in fish
life times, means 12-15 years.
