Schedule Constraints: Production and release of hatchery salmonids in the Columbia Basin is regulated by NMFS under the Endangered Species Act. Specific groups to be tagged depend on funding for the production and tagging of hatchery salmon in Oregon.

Comments:
Projects 89-069, 89-065, and 89-066 are essentially the same proposal for different agencies (ODFW, USFWS, WDFW respectively). Each project "ensures" that all hatchery chinook and coho production releases have a representative CWT group associated with the release; provides for recovery of CWT in the spawning escapements, compilation of the data; and for ODFW (proposal 89-069), it provides for investigating alternative tags. These projects provide the tagging essential for routine stock assessment data. There is, however, very little to review in these proposals since the text largely reiterates the umbrella proposal and the coverage of tagging by facilities, geographic area, and species is not presented. Funding agencies may wish to request such a list before agreeing to additional tagging. They are again advised to examine the objective of each program and the expected numbers of recoveries before finalizing a tagging schedule. It is not possible to comment on the proposed costs without more detailed information of the CWT requirements and specific costs for applying and recovering them in this project.
