Bioaccumulation Accumulation through the food chain (i.e., consumption of food,<br />

water/sediment) or direct water <strong>and</strong>/or sediment exposure.<br />

Bioconcentration Uptake of a chemical across membranes, generally used in reference to<br />

waterborne exposures.<br />

Biomagnification Transfer of chemicals via the food chain through two or more trophic<br />

levels as a result of bioconcentration <strong>and</strong> bioaccumulation.<br />

Degradates New compounds formed by the transformation of a pesticide by chemical<br />

or biological reactions.<br />

Distinct Population A listable entity under the ESA that meets tests of discreteness <strong>and</strong><br />

Segment significance according to USFWS <strong>and</strong> NMFS policy. A population is<br />

considered distinct (<strong>and</strong> hence a “species” for purposes of conservation<br />

under the ESA) if it is discrete fro an significant to the remainder of its<br />

species based n factors such as physical, behavioral, or genetic<br />

characteristics, it occupies an unusual or unique ecological setting, or its<br />

loss would represent a significant gap in the species’ range.<br />

Escapement The number of fish that survive to reach the spawning grounds or<br />

hatcheries. The escapement plus the number of fish removed by harvest<br />

form the total run size.<br />

Evolutionarily A group of Pacific salmon or steelhead trout that is (1)<br />

Significant Unit substantially reproductively isolated from other conspecific<br />

units <strong>and</strong> (2) represent an important component of the evolutionary legacy<br />

of the species.<br />

Fall Chinook This salmon stock returns from the ocean in late summer <strong>and</strong> early<br />
