Monitor, evaluate and compare pre-release and release health condition of yearling Lyons Ferry Hatchery fall chinook acclimated and released at Pittsburg Landing and Captain John Rapids on the Snake River and at Big Canyon Creek on the Clearwater River | a. Assist the Dworshak Hatchery Fish Health Lab in conducting weekly health assessments on a sample of 100 fish at each the Pittsburg Landing, Captain John Rapids, and Big Canyon Creek acclimation facilities. | 14 | $500 | |
| b. Document fish size and condition factor on fish sampled in Task 1.1 and during PIT tagging (Task 2.2). | 14 | $855 | ||
| c. Using data from Tasks 1.1 and 1.2 compare fish size and condition of fish reared at Big Canyon, Pittsburg Landing, Captain John Rapids, and LFH. | 14 | $750 | ||
| d. Check a representative sample of 1,500 fish for elastomer tag retention at Big Canyon Creek and Pittsburg Landing while PIT tagging (Task 2.2) and assist the WDF in checking elastomer tag retention while PIT tagging at Captain John Rapids. | 14 | $750 | ||
| 2. Monitor, evaluate, and compare post-release behavior, migration timing, and survival of yearling fall chinook released at Pittsburg Landing, Captain John Rapids, and Big Canyon Creek. | a. Radio tag 50 fall chinook yearlings each at the acclimation facilities one day prior to release and monitor post-release dispersal and movement patterns to Lower Granite and Little Goose Dams. | 14 | $32,500 | |
| b. Place fixed radio receivers at the downstream end of the free-flowing stretch of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers and at Lower Granite and dam and monitor movement patterns and migration rates in the free-flowing and impounded reaches of these systems. | 14 | $3,500 | ||
| c. Coordinate with the NPT, USFWS, BRD, University of Idaho (UI), and WDF on radio telemetry equipment and data collection positions that may be shared for this study. | 14 | $500 | ||
