|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Quantify smolt production of nonanadromous O. mykiss populations in streams that were historically accessible to anadromous steelhead but are now blocked by dams. | a1. Operate fish traps in the Little Weiser River and Collins Creek during the fall and spring to trap migrating O. mykiss. Estimate the number of fish migrating with mark-recpature metodology. PIT-tag O. mykiss > 125mm. | 3 | $35,710 | |
| 1. | a2. Transport trapped O. mykiss migrants to rearing facilities (Little Weiser River migrants to Oxbow Hatchery and Collins Creek to Clearwater Hatchery) and for release in-river. | 3 | $17,671 | |
| 1. | b1. Determine the number of PIT-tagged O. mykiss migrants released in-river that are detected at lower Snake River and Columbia River dams and estimate the potential smolt production in each stream. | 3 | $4,585 | |
| 1. | c1. Hold 200 wild O. mykiss migrants in circular tanks at the rearing facilities throughout the winter. Hold 200 anadromous hatchery steelhead and 200 nonanadromous hatchery rainbow in separate tanks at each facility. | 3 | $26,337 | |
| c2. Sample fish from each group at the rearing facilities on five occasions beginning March 1 and ending June15 for the smolt physiological tests and analysis. This work will be done in FY2004 and FY2005 only at a cost of $25,000/year. | 2 | $0 | Yes | |
| 1. | d1. Prepare an annual report(s) and a final report of the research findings (done in cooperation with Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, University of Idaho). | 3 | $6,227 | Yes |

Other budget explanation
The budget for FY2003 includes the one time cost of capitol outlays (screw trap and circular tanks to hold fish) and fall trapping. The FY2004 budget includes spring and fall trapping and cost of the smolt physiology tests and analysis. FY2005 includes cost of spring trapping, smolt physiology tests and analysis, and preparing final reports and journal articles. All budget amounts were calculated using constant dollars, no adjusts were made for inflation.

Comment:
A response is needed. Please address more fully the question of whether the sample size of PIT-tagged fish in tasks a and b is large enough for detection of possible differences. Also, describe the specific hypotheses that would be tested in tasks a-c.Comment:
Comment:
Fundable, in the sense that this is a well-designed study and it would be interesting to know the answer to the question posed in the proposal. If passage problems in the Hells Canyon reach can ever be solved, this information would be of value. The lab component monitoring physiological attributes, however, seems very low priority. The response adequately addressed the questions of whether the sample size of PIT-tagged fish in tasks a and b is large enough for detection of possible differences and also the specific hypotheses that would be tested in tasks a-c.Comment:
