Short descriptionThis study proposes to simulate anadromous fish carcasses with artificial fertilizer and assess the affects to resident/adfluvial salmonids. Results will be applicable throughout the west in anadromous, non-anadromous, and blocked areas.
Target speciesKokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) Rainbow trout (O. mykiss)

Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Yes - B
Date:
Dec 15, 2000

Comment:

This is marginally innovative in that it has not been done in the Columbia and that it would be applied to a resident/adfluvial population. This would be a useful implementation in the subbasin, if so identified in subbasin plans. As a test for resident trout and some kokanee, this is an adequate study. However, detailed study of response in all of the lower trophic levels is likely unnecessary. Trough experiments are more appropriate for the latter studies, at a much smaller and less costly scale.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Comment:

Does not determine if streams require nutrient input before addition of nutrients, nor does it test concentrations of nutrients. Budget exceeds $400,000 over the duration of the study. See general nutrient supplementation comments in report.
