Task-based budget
| Objective | Task | Duration in FYs | Estimated 2001 cost | Subcontractor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Determine if rearing salmon in seminatural raceway habitat increases postrelease survival. | d. Conduct production scale evaluations at salmon hatcheries to verify the selected seminatural raceway habitat produces fish with wild-like behavior and increased smolt-adult survival. | 10 | $250,000 | |
| 2. Determine if rearing salmon in raceways where food is presented in a natural manner by underwater feeders increases postrelease survival. | b. Use pilot scale evaluations to determine how underwater feed delivery systems affect salmon behavior, growth, disease status, predator vulnerability and instream postrelease survival. | 2 | $6,000 | |
| 3. Determine if predator avoidance training increases postrelease survival. | d. Conduct production scale evaluations at salmon hatcheries to verify that the selected predator avoidance training protocol increases smolt-adult survival. | 10 | $150,000 | |
| 4.Determine if rearing salmon in raceways with natural current velocities that exercise fish increases postrelease survival. | c. Use pilot scale evaluations to determine how these exercise protocols affect salmon behavior, morphology, growth, pathology, predator vulnerability, and instream postrelease survival. | 3 | $80,000 | |
| 5. Determine if rearing salmon on diets supplemented with natural live feeds increases postrelease survival. | b. Use pilot scale evaluations to determine how these live food diets affect salmon behavior, foraging ability, coloration, growth, disease status, predator vulnerability, and instream postrelease survival. | 2 | $14,000 | |
| 6. Determine if rearing salmon in raceways with natural sound levels increases salmon postrelease survival. | a. Investigate quieting technology that can be retrofitted to hatcheries so that fish can be reared in raceways with natural acoustic levels. | 1 | $6,000 | |
| b. Use pilot scale evaluations to determine how rearing salmon in natural and artificially noisy acoustic environments affects their behavior, morphology, growth, pathology, predator vulnerability, and instream postrelease survival. | 2 | $6,500 | ||
| 7. Determine if rearing salmon in raceways with full oxygen saturation throughout the raceway increases postrelease survival. | a. Use pilot scale evaluations to determine how rearing salmon in full oxygen saturation levels affects salmon behavior, morphology, growth, pathology, predator vulnerability, and instream postrelease survival. | 2 | $12,500 |
