Recommendation:
YKFP Inadequate proposal, adequate purpose as a set
Date:
Jun 18, 1998

Comment:

This proposal is excellent and generally complete. It does a good job of laying out the whole YKFP. However, it does not clearly describe monitoring and evaluation of survival from smolt to adult (SAR). The proposal mentions the video monitoring proposal with respect to SARs but those monitoring activities do not appear to be focused on PIT tags and, thus, are not sufficient to estimate SARs.
