68642 Data Set Published / External 68531 Salmonid and Steelhead Population Summary (SPS) and Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) in the Pacific Northwest Project Completed 2011-09-27 2011-09-27 The Northwest Fisheries Science Center's (NWFSC) Salmon Population Summary (SPS) database provides public access to demographic data compiled for ESA-listed salmonid populations as part of the NWFSC's technical recovery planning efforts. The database contains data collected by co-managers (WDFW, ODFW, IDFG, and Tribes) and compiled in cooperation with NWFSC staff for: spawning abundance, age structure of wild spawners, fraction of natural spawners that are of wild origin, and the reduction in spawning abundance due to harvest. For some populations, additional data fields are also available. Abundance of ESA-listed salmonids. These data correspond to the populations identified by the NMFS Technical Recovery Teams, and are used in part to assess population and ESU-level recovery criteria for many listed ESUs. Most importantly, this data is critical for informing 5 year ESA salmon reviews, and makes 5 year status review data available to the public and addresses the legal mandate to complete status review for listed salmonids.

The database also includes a limited number of series representing the aggregate returns to groups of populations (e.g., Lower Granite Dam counts) or counts of spawners within a subsection of a population where expansions to the population level were not feasible. The information used to develop the population level estimates comes from a variety of sources, but mostly originates from the monitoring programs conducted by state and tribal fishery agencies. The Technical Recovery Teams and Northwest Fisheries Science Center staff have processed this information to provide an estimate of spawning abundance at the population level. A variety of different types of information (e.g., redd counts, dam counts, carcass surveys, tag recoveries, scale analysis) forms the basis of the information in the database, and where possible the database provides references to these information sources. It is important to recognize that spawning abundance values and other information in the SPS database are not 'facts' that are known with certainty. Rather, they are estimates based on a variety of sources of information, some known with greater precision or accuracy than others. Ideally, these estimates would be characterized by a known level of statistical uncertainty. However, for the most part such a statistical characterization is either not possible or has not been attempted, and the database reports only the best estimates of the values. In all cases there is some degree of uncertainty surrounding these estimates. The NWFSC intends to work with our state and tribal partners to keep the SPS database as up-to-date as possible, and new annual estimates will be added as they become available.

Please note that the value -99 is used to represent "null" data for several columns for several populations. This value was used for modeling purposes. A -99 value in the NMFS_POPID indicates that the population data was collected before population names were finalized. 1 NMFS_POPID NUMBER 22 No No Active The unique numeric value for a population as determined by NMFS. This value will not change over time, even if the population name (NWR Population Name) does. A -99 value in the NMFS_POPID indicates that the population data was collected before population names were finalized. 2 COMMON POPULATION NAME VARCHAR2 100 No No Active Name of population as people may commonly refer to it. 3 NWR POPULATION NAME VARCHAR2 255 No No Active Name of the population as defined by the West Coast Region of NMFS.

All of the Pacific Northwest TRTs spent considerable time and effort developing spawning abundance data for the populations they identified within ESUs. In almost all cases these estimates are derived from state, tribal, or federal monitoring programs.
