|---|---|---|---|
| NMFS | Action 184 | NMFS | The Action Agencies and NMFS shall work within regional prioritization and congressional appropriation processes to establish and provide the appropriate level of FCRPS funding for a hatchery research, monitoring, and evaluation program consisting of studies to determine whether hatchery reforms reduce the risk of extinction for Columbia River basin salmonids and whether conservation hatcheries contribute to recovery. |
Section 2. Past accomplishments
| Year | Accomplishment |
|---|---|
| 2000 | First year of disease sampling found no evidence that the fish populations above and below McIntyre Dam differ with respect to pathogens of concern |
| 2000 | Based upon the first year of sampling, there are few risks associated with any upstream migration and colonization by exotic species into Skaha and South Okanagan Lakes. |
| 2000 | Surveys indicate little potential for sockeye salmon to spawn along the shoreline of Skaha Lake or in minor tributaries, however, spawning habitat is available in the mainstem of the Okanagan River upriver of McIntyre Dam. |
Section 3. Relationships to other projects
| Project ID | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 199604200 | Restoration and Enhancement of Anadromous Fish Populations & Habitat in Salmon Creek | Further the restoration of tributaries and anadromous fish populations in the Okanogan River. Provide cold-water refuge for migrating sockeye salmon. |
| 200000100 | Improvement of Anadromous Fish Habitat and Passage in Omak Creek | Reduce water temperature in Omak Creek an provide a cold water refuge for migrating sockeye salmon. |

Fundable. No response is needed. This proposal describes the last step in a study designed to alleviate concerns about sockeye that might be reintroduced into the upper Okanogan, acting as carriers of disease. The first two years of the study looked at IHNV type 1, EIBS; and IPNV, and ceratomyxosis agent. The proposed work will complete the study looking at whirling disease.Comment:
Important on-going project, funding for only one year and small amount should make this a top priority.Comment:
Fundable with high priority. A response was not needed. This proposal describes the last step in a study designed to alleviate concerns about sockeye that might be reintroduced into the upper Okanogan, acting as carriers of disease. The first two years of the study looked at IHNV type 1, EIBS; and IPNV, and ceratomyxosis agent. The proposed work will complete the study looking at whirling disease. Like project 29016, this project is high priority because information gained from the project will likely lead to payoffs in increased and measurable numbers of anadromous fishes.Comment:
Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUAssesses the risks, with respect to disease transmission (M. cerebralis (whirling disease)), and benefits of an experimental re-introduction of sockeye salmon into Skaha Lake
Comments
Completion of the third stage of the project. Well thought out and explained method for determining the risk of whirling disease transmission associated with sockeye reintroduction.
