REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2001-12B)

Recommendation:
Fundable - no response required

Date:
Dec 21, 2001

Comment:

Fundable. The proposal is well organized and integrated with other associated projects but this proposal only covers the operating expenses for facilities (operated by ODFW) associated with conventional production of spring chinook and steelhead in the Imnaha basin. The proposal presents a purely fish hatchery approach: so-called compensation rather than dealing with causative problems. There is no deviation from past cost estimates for these activities. The short description in Section 1 is inaccurate and should be corrected to be more descriptive of this actual proposal.

Since this proposal only addresses facility operating expenses, it may not be appropriate to comment on data and data management. However, there is a general need for data to be stored in an appropriate consistent database for all LSRCP hatcheries and are available through a distributed system via the Internet. Data available from these programs must be made available for assessments and progress towards project goals. The data and evaluation should be consistent with the Dworshak use of the Idaho FRO system (see Task 3.c in Proposal 200101) and any database in use by the Oregon Evaluation Studies (#200109). Results must be given in the proposal even if collected and analyzed by a different project. In particular, results for returning adults, straying rates, and reproduction of strays that spawn naturally should be given.
