A digital thermometer displays the water temperature inside a juvenile fish transport truck, reading 54.3 degrees Fahrenheit, Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers utilizes modern technology to precisely manage the conditions within transport tanks, maximizing the survival rate of juvenile salmon and steelhead on their journey to the Pacific Ocean. Precise temperature management is critical to the survival of juvenile salmon during transport. Even minor temperature spikes can be devastating; warm water holds less dissolved oxygen, accelerating the fish's metabolism and causing extreme physiological stress, exhaustion, or disease susceptibility.
