The Snake River Sockeye Artificial Program began in May 1991, before the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) listed Snake River sockeye as endangered. The program focuses on increasing populations while conserving genetic diversity by relying on captive broodstock, production supplementation, habitat evaluations, genetic monitoring, and monitoring and evaluation. Cooperators include Idaho Department of Fish and Game, NOAA, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, and the Bonneville Power Administration.
Shown on the map are the two Sockeye rearing facilities Eagle Fish Hatchery and Springfield Fish Hatchery.
Also shown on the map is the Sockeye release location and adult trap named Redfish Lake Creek Trap.
