Section 1. Administrative
| Proposal title | Idaho Department of Fish and Game Rearing Expansion for Snake River Sockeye Salmon |
| Proposal ID | 200727600 |
| Organization | Idaho Department of Fish & Game |
| Short description | This capital proposal addresses the need to increase the return of anadromous Snake R. sockeye salmon to Idaho. Incorporating "fit" anadromous adults into the captive spawning design is a recommended action for this closed population |
| Information transfer | Through the development of project annual reports to meet both NOAA Fisheries Permit and BPA contractual obligations. Through technical oversight committee meeting notes produced in association with the project 199107200 (available from project sponsors as well as BPA) and published manuscripts and symposia. Through public presentations to non-technical as well as professional audiences. |

Section 5. Relationships to other projects
| Funding source | Related ID | Related title | Relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPA | 199107200 | Redfish Lake Sockeye Salmon Ca | Project 199107200 is the primary sockeye salmon captive broodstock program. Eggs produced by this program would be incubated and reared at the new production facility proposed in this document. |
| BPA | 199204000 | Redfish Lake Sockeye Broodstoc | This NOAA Fisheries program shares sockeye salmon fish culture responsibility with project 199107200. This program would also, potentially, provide eggs to the new facility described in this proposal. |
| BPA | 199009300 | Genetic Analyses of Oncorhynch | Critical genetic support for the sockeye captive broodstock program. Beginning in FY2007, we anticipate that all project genetic support will be funded through IDFG project no. 199107200, the parent project for the sockeye captive broodstock program. The U of I will not submit a proposal to continue this work. |
| BPA | 199305600 | Demonstration of Captive Salmo | This program develops information needed to address challenges that limit the production of viable offspring from Pacific Salmon reared in captivity, and to assess genetic consequences of captive broodstock programs. |
| BPA | 199700100 | Idaho Chinook Salmon Captive R | Cooperating captive propagation program using IDFG Eagle Fish Hatchery and NMFS facilities in Washington State. Personnel and resources shared with sockeye program. |

ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)
Recommendation: Not fundable
NPCC comments: General comments on the suite of Stanley Basin sockeye proposals are provided under proposal 199107200. Additional information regarding the Stanley Basin sockeye salmon and captive rearing strategies is discussed in the report’s programmatic section. This proposal is to develop a new culture facility as part of the sockeye salmon recovery effort. The objective is to produce fish for release. "The long-term plan, which this proposal addresses, is designed to relocate sockeye incubation and rearing responsibilities from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game Sawtooth Fish Hatchery and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Oxbow Fish Hatchery to a new, Idaho facility developed specifically to meet the incubation and rearing needs of the program." The identity of the facility is not revealed. Cost would be $6 million plus to purchase and remodel. Nothing is mentioned about existing facilities that would be released for other use? A compelling need for this facility is not demonstrated. How more production would solve the problem of low return numbers of anadromous adults is not explained. The new facility location is not identified making it impossible to assess potential adverse effects from the proposed culture facility. Studies are underway to assess relations with bull trout and rainbow trout. These results should be presented as soon as possible.
