1. Estimate lamprey abundance before and after outplanting adults in the Umatilla River. a) Estimate numbers of adult lampreys entering the Umatilla River. 1998-2005 $33,994
b) Estimate densities of lamprey larvae in index plots in the Umatilla River. 1998-2005 $39,660
c) Estimate numbers of recently metamorphosed larvae out migrating 1999-2005 $33,994
d) Sample river water in the Umatilla River for migratory pheromone. 1999-2005 $5,665
2. Increase larval abundance in the Umatilla River. a) Release sexually mature lampreys in the Umatilla River. 2000-2005 $22,663
b) Monitor larvae in cages. 2000-2001 $20,396
c) Coordinate with Umatilla River operations personnel to increase flows through dewatered sections. indefinite $2,266
3. Determine reproductive success of adult outplants. a) Conduct redd surveys 2000-2005 $19,912
b) Document spawning activity 2000-2005 $19,912
c) Estimate percent egg viability 2000-2005 $13,274
d) Determine fecundities 2000-2005 $13,274

b) Check traps 2001-2005 $54,391
c) Analysis of data 2001-2005 $13,597
5. Assess artificial propagation using Pacific lampreys. a) Develop artificial production manual for Pacific lampreys. 2001-2002 $22,663
6. Measure the temporal variations in the responses of upstream migrating Pacific lampreys using electro-olfactogram (EOG) techniques. a) Collect upstream migrating Pacific lampreys from the lower Columbia River. 2000-2002 $11,493
b) Receive training from Dr. Peter Sorensen regarding EOG system and operation. 2000-2001 $11,493
c) Collect larval lampreys from the John Day River 2000-2001 $11,493
d) Measure the responses of bile salts of lampreys during the process of sexual maturation. 2000-2002 $80,464

Reason for change in estimated budget

The increase is in part due to expanded need for travel/vehicles to accomplish increased tasks. The lamprey project currently has one GSA vehicle. This is inadequate to address the necessary project tasks listed above. We are in the initial stages of implementing the lamprey restoration plan for the Umatilla River which has added more monitoring and evaluation. We are working to accomplish many new objectives and tasks to evaluate the outplanting adults in the Umatilla River.

Reason for change in scope

Finalization of the Restoration plan for Pacific lampreys in the Umatilla River in 1999 identified additional necessary monitoring and evaluation tasks that were not identified when initial FY 2001 Budget projection was made in 1998. Additional tasks now proposed include; 2abc, 3abcd,

Additional tasks now proposed include; 2abc ($45,325), 3abcd ($66,372). The MainSys SRT has flagged these new tasks to insure that they have been technically reviewed. A lamprey master plan was recently completed and technical review may have been completed in that forum.
