Comments
Mr. McMichael is a Senior Research Scientist in the Ecology Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Fish and Wildlife Management at Montana State University in Bozeman and has spent the past 23 years studying Pacific salmon in the northwest. He has managed several acoustic telemetry projects using the newly-developed Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) over the past 9 years. His recent research has focused on juvenile salmonid behavior and survival through the Federal Columbia River Power System and the lower Columbia River and estuary as well as fall Chinook salmon in the Hanford Reach of the Columbia River.
