Section 2. Past accomplishments
| Year | Accomplishment |
|---|---|
| 1997 | Installed telemetry tracking system. |
| 1997 | Tagged and tracked first returns from the first release of hatchery yearlings in the Snake River upriver of Lower Granite Dam. Found the telemetry tracking system worked as planned. |
| 1997 | Documented the spawning distribution of fall chinook salmon based on redd counts. |
| 1998 | Tagged, and are currently tracking, one- and two-ocean fall chinook salmon that were released as juveniles in the Snake and Clearwater rivers, upriver of Lower Granite Dam. These activities are progressing as scheduled. |
| 1998 | Redd searches are progressing as scheduled. |

Fund in part for one year
Jun 15, 1999
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund in part for one year, at previous year's level. Future potential for a multi-year review cycle, but better description/interpretation of significance of past results, and long-term future strategy, would be required.Comments: This proposal is for year 4 (possibly 3 – this is confusing in the proposal) of a five-year project to evaluate a strategy for releasing yearling fall chinook salmon from Lyons Ferry Hatchery at three sites upriver of Lower Granite Dam, with the intent of enhancing natural production in the relevant reaches. The monitoring methods include radio-tagging, and redd searches. The objectives are well focused, and the methods appropriate, (however the panel voiced some concern about the emphasis on technical/operational targets at the expense of interpretation of past results. The proposal lacks a good summary of the work performed to date. Reviewers are concerned about the minimal effort being expended on dissemination of results. One publication for a five-year project of this magnitude is not adequate even thought he proposers state their intent to submit the "final report" to a professional fisheries journal. The budget in general appears to be appropriate for the scale of the project, however it is not clear why the large increase ($182k vs $125k) for FY 2000 vs FY 1999 is needed.

Technical Criteria 1: Met? yes -Programmatic Criteria 2: Met? no - Major critical assumption should be stated explicitly - see para.3 under Summary of major results. May not achieve sample size needed.

Comment:
This project is needed, however, we recommend funding at a reduced rate to meet other management priorities in this region. This reduction could be absorbed by other cooperator's in this project. This project is covered under umbrella project #20541.Comment:
Fund. The responses adequately address the ISRP concerns.Comment:
