Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Fund this final year as proposed

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund this final year as proposed.

Comments: The justification for replacing the existing tag interrogation system is convincing. The relationship of this work to other high priority programs is clear. The objectives, however, are too broadly stated and not aligned with specific tasks. Evaluation and monitoring are not addressed in the proposal. It needs more detail on how monitoring will be conducted during the transition period when fish with both types of tags are returning. A detailed time line should be prepared and the work progress monitored.
