Comment:
This very good proposal is innovative in that it ties nutrient supplementation to sturgeon and resident rainbow trout. It ranks higher than some of the other nutrient proposals because it proposes mesocosm experiments first, a step that is encouraged by the ISRP. The proposal ties well with the sturgeon stocking program. Graduate student support is (mainly) for required research on nutrient limitations to sturgeon production. The approach has not been applied in this area for this species, and has not previously been used in an application of this kind, but is not truly innovative – tools and methods used elsewhere are applied. Nevertheless, this research is required before proceeding with a full-scale nutrient addition experiment in the mainstem. The mesocosm work should have application elsewhere in the basin.Comment:
Mesocosm experiment will assess if large-scale experiments are warranted for endangered Kootenai River white sturgeon. See general nutrient supplementation comments in report.Comment:
