Recommendation:
Fund. The ISRP recommends this project for multiyear funding. This proposal is adequate for its duration through 2003, subject to contractually agreed upon deliverables.
Comments:
This proposal is for research to contribute to understanding the life history and ecology of native resident fish in the Malheur subbasin. The work addresses the need for assessment of resident fish and preservation or recovery of them and it involves a blocked area from which anadromous fish are removed. Overall this proposal suggests an effective strategy for evaluating the life history of native salmonids in the Malheur Basin . Although the project is relatively new, it is ongoing since 1997 and should be able to report some data/results to date. These results of the project should be valuable to the region, and the principal investigators should pursue publishing in a peer-reviewed journal. This proposal has good coordination with agencies and other projects, including incorporation of academic research. It shows evidence of coordinated planning.: the proposal involves good agency cooperation and coordination with habitat preservation and improvements. There is a good relation between objectives and tasks and between methods and findings of earlier studies. Use of technology and budget explanation are good. The information transfer goes beyond "presenting results at meetings" to show how findings will benefit management. There is not a significant description of personnel qualifications.
