Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
The proposal is not strongly presented in several aspects. The first objective of this proposed project is to prepare background materials that would appropriately be part of the proposal itself. Devotion in the project of five people full time for a year seems unwarranted for a machine that is already developed. The proposal refers to the NMFS BIOP which explicitly concerns the detrimental effect of poor-condition hatchery salmon on wild-spawning salmon, with the idea being that treatment of afferent and efferent water from hatcheries would reduce incidence of disease, but there is no quantification of the problem and no suggestion of the value of this technology. The proposal is vague about experimental design, even about the chemical contaminants that would be tested in the machine.Comment:
