size=4><span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><st1:City w:st="on"><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:13.5pt'>GRANTS PASS</span></font></st1:City><font size=4><span
style='font-size:13.5pt'>, <st1:State w:st="on">Ore.</st1:State> - The California
Department of Fish and Game is worried that a parasite killing young salmon and
steelhead migrating down the <st1:place w:st="on">Klamath River</st1:place> to
the ocean could kill hundreds of thousands in coming weeks as flows reduce.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Young
chinook, coho and steelhead infected with the parasite Ceratomyxa shasta began
showing up in traps that sample the annual migration around May 1, said senior
fisheries biologist <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Neil Manji</st1:PersonName> of
the department's <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Redding</st1:City></st1:place>
office. The parasite is found up and down the river, but the cause of the outbreak
remains unknown.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The
parasite infestation injected another source of strain in continuing tensions
over dividing scarce water between farmers on the Klamath Reclamation Project,
endangered suckers in <st1:place w:st="on">Upper Klamath Lake</st1:place>, and
salmon in the river.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>"We get
put in a very awkward position," Manji said. "Do you want to use
(water allocated for salmon) not to kill adult fish coming back or to help
young fish go out?"<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Releases
down the Klamath River have been reduced after it became clear drought
conditions were worse than expected, but the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is
meeting Endangered Species Act mandates for water for endangered suckers in
Upper Klamath Lake and threatened coho in the <st1:place w:st="on">Klamath
River</st1:place>, said bureau spokesman Jeff McCracken.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The
bureau has also provided extra water for the spring salmon migration though a
water bank that buys water from farmers, and has worked with the California
Department of Fish and Game to spread the release of millions of young salmon
from the <st1:place w:st="on">Iron Gate</st1:place> hatchery to reduce the
strain on habitat, McCracken said.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service has generally found water quality and temperatures to
be good for fish, said spokesman Al Donner in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Sacramento</st1:City></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The first
sick fish were spotted in the trap farthest upriver. Over the course of the
past month, up to 80 percent of the fish in traps showed symptoms of the
parasite, and 50 percent were dead, Manji said. It is unclear if the same
proportion can be transferred to the millions of fish in the river.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The
numbers raised concerns of a repeat of a 2000 fish kill that left an estimated
300,000 young salmon and steelhead dead from the same parasite and a fungus
that attacks the gills, Manji said.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The
parasite appeared about two weeks before the release of millions of young
salmon from the <st1:place w:st="on">Iron Gate</st1:place> hatchery, making it
unlikely the parasite infested the fish in the hatchery, or was a result of
crowding in the river caused by the release, Manji added.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-weight:bold'>He said he was concerned it would get worse in coming weeks,
when flows are due to be reduced to conserve water for irrigation on the
Klamath Reclamation Project, and the return of spawning adults this fall.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
