Comment:
ISRP reviewers note that this is a well-written proposal for basic studies on the habitat requirements of endangered/threatened salmon stocks. The reviewers also suggest that this project along with others dealing with fall chinook should be considered as part of a broader effort with an overall umbrella proposal that explains the relationships of and need for all subcomponents.
