guys were arguing over how many pair of coho the satsop hatchery needs for egg take.. Riverguy this should be right up your alley!

Sorry I missed this one and there are a lot of things ( volunteer projects ect ) that are in the number. That said the normal timed Bingham Coho eggtake is 1,464,000 egss and the late eggtake is 180,000. Numbers of eggs per female is always a bit of moving target but the escapement report says they have taken 551,600 normal Coho eggs utilizing 221 females for a average of 2,495 per female. So with those numbers the 1,464,000 would utilize 586 pairs plus an overage for bad eggs in the pick of the incubators.

If I recall correctly Friends Landing, Westport net pens, and Satsop Springs are all part of the Bingham normal timed Coho. Westport net pens also get around 50K lates and why I do not know.

Help ya?

yes it does.. those guys were way off.. thanks !
