Sections XV - XVII.
During the winter fishing season on the Columbia
River six fish with szarks similar to those of the young steelheads producea frem parents exposed to 100r or "controls*"
were captured in the lover river.
Further study will deter-
mine if these are fish from the release during Spring of
1945 into Icicle Cree:, a tributary of the Columbia.
It is
hoped that some of these fish escaped the fishery and return
to Icicle Creek after completing the journey to the sea during
which they would have passed the Hanford plants on their journey
to the sea and again on their return.
