Hatchery Review
The review, conducted over a 16-month period from 2010 to 2012, evaluated all salmon and steelhead hatchery programs in the Klamath / Trinity and Central Valley regions. The two regions were split into three geographic areas: (1) Klamath/Trinity, (2) Central Valley South, and (3) Central Valley North. These maps show the prominent features and hatchery facilities in each of the regional review areas. Programs reviewed within each region are as follows:
Klamath/Trinity
- Iron Gate Coho Program
- Iron Gate Fall Chinook Program
- Iron Gate Steelhead Program
- Trinity Coho Program
- Trinity Fall Chinook Program
- Trinity Spring Chinook Program
- Trinity Steelhead Program
Central Valley
- Nimbus Fall Chinook Program

- Merced Fall Chinook Program
- Feather Fall Chinook Program

Due to time and resource limitations, the review excluded the programs at two agency-operated hatcheries in coastal basins (Warm Springs Hatchery and Mad River Hatchery).
