Section 2. Past accomplishments

YearAccomplishment
1991 Identified study areas, brood stocks, facilities to be used. Begin preliminary baseline data collection on treatment and control streams, target stock history, genetic sampling.
1992 Initiated parr and smolt releases for treatment streams. Used existing hatchery brood stocks for first generation supplementation. Began monitoring of treatment and control streams.
1996 Completed small scale investigation to monitor behavioral interactions between natural and hatchery fish. Small scale investigation into chinook salmon supplementation strategies and techniques: 1992 -1994. Technical Reports. Peery, C.A. and T.C. Bjornn.
1997 First generation returns, a known brood stock for supplementation is established. Brood stock selection begins with local stocks of known origin.

Task-based budget
ObjectiveTaskDuration in FYsEstimated 2001 costSubcontractor
1. Monitor and evaluate the effects of supplementation on parr, presmolt and smolt numbers and spawning escapements of naturally produced salmon. a. Differentially mark all hatchery supplementation and general production fish released in or nearby study streams. Assist IDFG. 8 $2,575
b. PIT tag a minimum of 700 hatchery supplementation and general production fish released in or nearby study streams. 8 $20,258
c. Release various life stages of chinook salmon. Determine fish numbers for each life stage based on existing natural production and natural rearing capacity. 8 $5,127
d. Estimate summer parr densities from snorkeling surveys. 8 $23,375
e. Pit tag a minimum of 700 naturally produced parr from each treatment and control stream to estimate smolt production and survival. 8 $20,258
f. Use existing screw traps to collect, mark (PIT tag), and enumerate emigrating fish. Partially covered under 1.b and 1.e. 8 $42,220
g. Compare natural production of supplemented populations to unsupplemented populations and baseline data. 8 $3,574
2. Monitor and evaluate changes in natural productivity and genetic composition of target and adjacent populations following supplementation. a. Monitor productivity and genetic indices from supplemented populations and compare baseline and controls. 8 $4,152
b. Monitor straying of hatchery supplementation fish into adjacent and control streams by weirs and carcass surveys. 8 $5,602
c. Determine spawner to recruitment relationship based on determined production and productivity indices (parr and smolt numbers, adult escapements, survival, eggs/spawner etc.). 8 $5,024
d. Predict population viability based on spawner to recruitment relationship to determine of the population will maintain itself through time in the absence of additional supplementation. 8 $4,090
3. Determine which supplementation strategies (broodstock and release stage) provide the quickest and highest response in natural production without adverse effects on productivity. (Long Term) a. Monitor and evaluate natural production (presmolt, smolt and adult numbers) and productivity (survival, life stage characteristics, pathogens, straying, genetic composition) of supplemented populations and compare to baseline and controls. 8 $19,090 Yes
b. Use local broodstocks with known natural component from the target population during the second generation of supplementation. 8 $4,090
c. Compare natural production and productivity indices of supplemented populations using existing hatchery broodstocks (first generation) to populations using locally developed broodstocks (second generation). 8 $4,090
d. Compare natural production and productivity indices among supplemented populations using parr, fall presmolt and smolt release strategies. 8 $4,090
4. Determine which supplementation strategies (brood stock and release stage) provide the quickest and highest response in natural production without adverse effects on productivity. (Long term) a. Guidelines and recommendations will be developed addressing risks and benefits of supplementation (augmentation and restoration) in general and specific supplementation strategies (broodstock and release stage). 8 $9,090
b. Use local brood stocks with known natural component from the target population during the second generation of supplementation. 8 $4,090
