Other budget explanation
Capital costs for the project are only preliminary and need refinement once results of winter surveys are complete.We will be seeking private and federal founding for out-year budgets.

Comment:
Not fundable. This proposal would recolonize 8 Columbia River tributaries in Clatsop County with winter-run coho and chum. It will initiate a captive brood stock program to evaluate sites for rearing coho. The primary strategy will be to out-plant eyed eggs from a central incubation facility (Klaskanine Hatchery) to various reaches of selected streams. Otolith mass marking will be done during early incubation. Egg planting will be done using a method developed in Alaska in the 1980's. Eight Clatsop County streams will be surveyed in 2002-2003 for remnants of late-run coho and chum. Streams will also be evaluated for the suitability as spawning and rearing habitat. The progression of outplanted eggs will be monitored. The proposal seeks funding from federal, state and private sources. The BPA request is for 50%.Young's Bay historically supported a strong population of chum, and there is likely some value in getting chum into these systems, but this proposal is not adequate to the research need.
The salmon egg planting device (gas powered water pump pushing water through pipe into gravel, eyed eggs introduced into stream) was developed and used with mixed success in Alaska in the 1980's. None of the performance history of the device is reviewed in the proposal.
The objectives and tasks are presented in abbreviated form. The proposal is vague about the techniques of egg planting and of thermal marking. The proposal says nothing about the methods of recovery of marked fish and includes no budget for thermal marking. Even if the number of embryos is modest the cost of energy (fuel oil) for marking will not be small.
The captive broodstock part of the project is poorly developed. No one has ever been successful rearing chum salmon to maturity in captivity, and the proposal does not suggest how the proponents intend to do it. The fish are susceptible to vibrio.

This project aggressively relies on unproven technologies.Comment:

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUIf successful, could restore Columbia River Chum salmon to historical spawning areas in Columbia County, OR.
Comments
Captive brood techniques uncertain for chum and coho (have chum or coho ever been raised to adult stage?) Question whether the stock of coho that are part of the captive brood project are an early run hatchery stock or a later run wild component.
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? No
Comment:
Recommend not funding at this time. Consideration of NMFS approved Safety Net projects should await results of the planning phase of the SNAPP process.Comment:
