Transport Information
1.  
Mode(s) of Transportation: Captured steelhead would be transported downstream, near the SJR and Merced confluence in a 300 or 500-gallon transport tank this mounted to a tandem axle trailer and pulled by a 3/4 ton or larger truck
Transportation Company: Fisheries biologist at Reclamation's SJRRP office and Technical Service Center have transported nearly 2000 adult Chinook salmon since 2012 with <1% mortality. They have also successfully transported fish for >2000 miles for research purposes.
Maximum amount of time
between capture and arrival:		 The maximum drive time is approximately an hour and does not include release site acclimation
Container Description: Steelhead will be translocated in a 300 or 500-gallon insulated fish transport tank. River water near the capture site will be used along with salt (NaCl) added to minimize stress. Oxygen is supplied via micro-bubble diffusers to maintain DO levels.
Special Care: 
Capture site water used and fish acclimated to release site.  Salt (5ppt) added to minimize stress.  Water-to-water fish transfers to reduce handling stress and slime loss.  Oxygen to maintain DO near saturation.  Temperature and water quality monitored.
Accompanying Personnel Qualifications: 
Fish biologist with over 15 years experience transporting fish and/or a fish physiologist may be present.  Fish biologists have had extensive training in fish husbandry and fish health assessments.
Facility Title: San Joaquin River
Facility Affiliation/Organization: Reclamation, FWS
Address: San Joaquin River, CA UNITED STATES
Phone Number:
Containment Method: Animals will not be held and immediately released at downstream relocation site after transport
Final Disposition: 
Fish will be released live downstream of the confluence of the San Joaquin and Merced Rivers.
