Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
N/A
Date:
Feb 1, 2001

Comment:

This proposed behavioral study of hatchery fish does not address imminent risks to ESA stocks by offering direct on-the-ground benefits with one-time funding. The ISRP has noted numerous times that this work needs to be done; however, it does not address an imminent risk – it does address a potential long-term risk.

Comment:

This is a feasibility study under the YKFP and by itself will not have any direct benefit to salmon.

Comment:

Two… proposals were submitted in response to the High Priority solicitation that we believe are of such importance and urgency that we designated them as BiOp projects even though they were given a "Hi Priority - B" rating. These were, Support for the Development and Certification (FDA approval) of Effective Drugs and Anesthesia for Fish (proposal number 23004), and Reproductive Success of Naturally Spawning Wild and Hatchery-origin Spring Chinook (proposal number 23034). We urge the Council to recommend proceeding with these projects immediately.
Recommendation:
Rank 8

Feb 26, 2001

Comment:

This topic is extremely important, and must be addressed thoroughly in the very near future. This project is a good beginning to an appropriate evaluation, but does not encompass the entire life cycle. Dependent on favorable scientific review of this proposal, this project could be a high NMFS priority for monitoring and evaluation.
