Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
This proposal is not innovative. The project apparently builds on existing methodology to modify the inland fishery simulation model to accommodate white sturgeon life history. This proposal is to modify a population simulation model previously developed by the sponsor. It would employ data collected by Idaho Power Company biologists. The proposal does not meet the intent of the council's solicitation for innovative proposals. While the project itself has not been undertaken, similar efforts have been made and these are cited in the proposal. Therefore, while the proposal is for "new" work, it is not innovative because no new concepts or methods are proposed.Comment:
No new concepts or methods are proposed. Although intellectually stimulating, the proposed work will not likely improve conditions for white sturgeon. Not innovativeComment:
