The CDFW Fall Creek Hatchery plays an essential role in helping repopulate Chinook and Coho salmon populations on the Klamath River post dam removal. In addition to the excellent water quality found at Fall Creek, this modern hatchery, featured in the video, utilizes several innovative approaches to optimize salmon production and conserve these unique fish. Modernizing hatcheries and moving Klamath River salmon hatchery production to Fall Creek Hatchery are priority actions in the California Sal

For the first time in history, CDFW has begun releasing juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon into the main stem of the Sacramento River near Redding and Butte City from CDFW operated hatcheries. The juvenile salmon come from additional salmon produced at CDFW hatcheries this year and are expected to imprint on the main stem during their migration to the ocean and speed the rebuilding of important spawning areas within the main stem after they return to freshwater as adults. A portion of these salmon

Today we released ~1.2 million fall Chinook salmon fry into Battle Creek—our third release in a series across the upper Sacramento River system. Each juvenile is part of our parental‑based genetic tagging effort. When their parents were spawned at the hatchery, we collected a tiny tissue sample from each adult. Throughout their time at the hatchery, we have tracked the genetics of each group. When these juvenile fish return as grown‑ups, scientists will analyze their DNA to identify their parent

Recently, CDFW released 79,000 coho yearling salmon (about 4 to 6 inches in length) into Fall Creek, which feeds into the Klamath River. These salmon were raised from eggs collected last year at the Iron Gate Fish Hatchery and were released at the new Fall Creek Fish Hatchery. Coho salmon in the Klamath Basin are listed as a threatened species under both state and federal endangered species acts. CDFW hatcheries are committed to building long term resiliency for salmon populations in the Klamath
