Section 2. Past accomplishments

YearAccomplishment
1998 Began examination of white sturgeon genetic diversity as a subcontract to ODFW. A copy of this preliminary report was submitted as section F of the annual report for BPA project number 86-50.
1999 Completed tasks associated with year one of project, examination of mitochondrial d-loop length variation, and submitted annual report to BPA.
1999 Preliminary genetic information was presented at either professional meetings or White Sturgeon Work Group meetings during each quarter.
1999 Organized and held a White Sturgeon Symposium during the Western Division Meeting of the American Fisheries Society.
2000 Began second year objectives for this project, DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial d-loop region.

1. Survey available (published and unpublished) sturgeon microsatellite loci for variability. a. Survey 8, published microsatellite primer sets for variability among 60 samples from 5 sturgeon populations. .25 $34,011
1. b. Survey up to 15 additional microsatellite primer sets (unpublished) for their utility and variability among the same sample set above. .30 $40,813
2. Employ microsatellite analysis on available sturgeon DNA samples. a. Analyze available sturgeon DNA samples from 24 Columbia Basin populations with variable microsatellite primers. .33 $44,894
2. b. Analyze available sturgeon DNA samples from 3 out-of-Basin populations using the same variable microsatellite loci from above to add geographic relevance. .12 $16,325

FY 2001 forecast from 2000$152,000
% change from forecast-10.5%
Reason for change in estimated budget

An anticipated capital acquisition (an additional PCR thermal cycler) will not be needed for completion of the project. Also, costs of labelled microsatellite primers for automated fragment analysis have decreased since the original budget estimation.
