Genetic Inventory Westslope Cutthroat Trout |
Assessment of a native trout species in N.F. Clearwater River Drainage-- has identified distributions of bull trout in the basin and collected incidental observations on habitat use, developed methodologies to collect habitat and fish data in the basin. |
| 8740700 |
Dworshak Impacts/M&E and Bio-Int Rule Curves |
Assessment of reservoir operations on fish populations in Reservoir-- has compiled baseline data on fish distribution in the reservoir and identified temperature and oxygen conditions that could act as barrier to migration into upper basin. |

Dworshak Impacts Assessment |
Assessment of entrainment- identifed the needed to assess the potential and impact of entrainment on reservoir fish associated with operations. |

Bull Trout Studies in Central and N.E. Oregon |
Study methods and protocols between studies are similar, and thus comparison between basins may lead to identification of regional patterns. |

Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Initiation of bull trout data collection is dependent on acceptance and approval of study plan and design by USFWS. A study plan and design will be submitted following ESA permit guidelines in 1999 to start fieldwork as scheduled in 2000.

Recommendation:
NA - Umbrella Proposal
Comments:
This is an umbrella project description for Bull Trout recovery efforts in the North Fork Clearwater River by the Nez Perce Tribe and Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Three broad objectives are outlined: 1) Identify sub-populations and determine their status in North Fork Clearwater; 2) Identify how bull trout use Dworshak, and how they are impacted by operations; and 3) Develop and implement strategies to protect bull trout. Generally, the proposal makes a credible attempt to indicate how the various component projects interact, and are formulated to address the overall goals and objectives. One question that affects all projects under this umbrella is just how a sub-population is defined for purposes of the project. If sub-populations are defined as any clearly identified spawning aggregation, the data may already be available to meet this objective. If numbers of fish in each aggregation are estimated each year, at least a preliminary (and perhaps sufficient) risk assessment may be possible. A significant amount of habitat classification is identified as needed information in the proposals, but it is not clear how that data relates to one of the above objectives
