Is there actual scientific data with real numbers on this one?
I would say Hanford nuclear waste site would probably be a larger threat if we are talking Columbia River Region.
Anyone have studies on this...

The report can be found at: https://www.endangered.org/cms/assets/uploads/2019/10/Poisoned.pdf
It is admittedly spare wrt numbers and quoting studies - which can be referenced at:
https://www.endangered.org/campaign...rt/removing-the-walls-to-recovery/references/
There is a section on Snake River (Columbia drainage) Salmon in that list. Out of that list these reports seem pertinent:

Seeing quite a bit on population trends and land use and dams in the references - all older references - and I haven't yet found any specific studies on pesticides/herbicides in those references. I think they could have done a much better job wrt references and studies - because those studies exist:
