Tulalip hatchery aids salmon recovery BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
TULALIP — In spite of everincreasing releases of salmon from their hatchery, the Tulalip Tribes are facing the same unexplained diminishing returns as are occurring throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Bernie “Kai Kai” Gobin Salmon Hatchery’s total release of 12 million salmon in 2012 includes a record release of 1.3 million Coho salmon, which hatchery assistant manager Jesse Rude deemed an impressive survival rate and attributed to the expertise of their workers and continual improvements in the co-management and recovery of state salmon stocks. At the same time, Mike Crewson, fisheries enhancement biologist for
the Tulalip Tribes, explained that both hatchery and wild Snohomish River basin Chinook salmon had their worst return rate ever last year, continuing a decline in return rates for both hatchery and wild salmon that began in 2005, after apparent recoveries in 2002 and 2003, that has yielded the four worst seasons ever in the past seven years. “Within the past 10 years, our hatchery survival rates have constantly gone up,” Rude said. “When I started here in 1996, our survival rates were around 85 to 90 percent, and within the past three to four years, they’ve gone up to 96 percent. Our survival release rates keep going up, but our returns aren’t.” SEE SALMON, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — Thousands of attendees, both human and canine, turned out for the sixth annual Poochapalooza, an event for dogs and their owners, on Saturday, July 14, at Strawberry Fields Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event featured more than 50 vendors, demonstrations, pet contests, rescue organizations, music, food and more. A “Fashions and Rescues Runway Show” took place beginning at 2 p.m. and for a suggested donation of $10, attendees could take a seat in the VIP area to view the models — rescue dogs in doggie designer wear. The VIP area sold out, and the Fashion Show was quite the success, according to Leslie Buell, president of the Marysville Dog Owners Group and Poochapalooza event director. “They are all adoptable rescue dogs,” she said. “We give all those rescues a free booth, so after the show people can go to the booths and learn about the dogs. Last year the adoption rate was really good.”
