Fish Facilities Salvage Data, San Francisco, California, 1993-2025

After counting, the fish are collected in storage tanks and taken to several release locations in the Delta via fish-haul tank trucks. Millions of fishes from 69 species are salvaged through this process by the two fish facilities. Data collected includes species collected, fish lengths, water flow, export amounts, and water quality.

Fishes listed (Endangered Species Act (ESA) or California Endangered Species Act (CESA)) were Chinook Salmon, Delta Smelt, steelhead trout, Longfin Smelt, and Green Sturgeon. For unclipped Chinook Salmon, runs are designated by either a length at date determination or through genetic sample analysis (DNA_Run). Clipped Chinook Salmon runs are determined by reading a coded wire tag that shows hatchery designation (CWT_Run).

The genetic Chinook Salmon run determination is associated with a percent probability (Probability) that the genetics match with the run. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife monitors fish salvage and manages the data collected from the fish facilities in addition to data collected and managed by DWR and Reclamation. ## About This Federated Record This CNRA Open Data Platform record is based on metadata federated from the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) Data Portal.
