Task-based budget

Objective	Task	Duration in FYs	Estimated 2001 cost	Subcontractor
1. Determine life history characteristics of ammocoetes and macrothalmia	1.1 Determine age, size, and timing of outmigrant juveniles by collecting and measuring ammocoetes and macrothalmia in downstream floating rotary traps on Red and American rivers.	3	$10,873
	1.2 Determine relative abundance of outmigrants by marking juveniles prior to outmigration and at capture locations upstream of traps.	3	$10,873
	1.3 Determine age class distribution and density of ammocoetes and estimate population size by capturing lamprey juveniles utilizing electroshocking or other applicable methods.	3	$11,386
	1.4 Provide a maximum of 50 ammocoetes collected in Task 1.3 to the Columbia River Research Laboratory for rearing to transformation and genetic analysis	3	$979
	1.5 Coordinate with US Army Corps of Engineers, Washington Department of Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service and other personnel working at mainstem Snake River and Columbia River dams for information on any marked juvenile outmigrants.	3	$6,726
2. Determine Pacific lamprey habitat requirements in the Clearwater River basin.	2.1 Sampling locations will be the same as those utilized in Task 1.3. Habitat parameters to be measured include: substrate type, substrate temperature, water depth, water velocity, water temperature, gradient, cover and light intensity.	3	$10,861
	2.2 On random encounter of any adult lamprey, all parameters described in Task 2.1 will be measured.	3	$10,349
3. Document distribution of Pacific lamprey and habitat in S.F. Clearwater River	3.1 Coordinates will be recorded at each site of collection or observation and habitat measurement, and linked to GIS overlays.	3	$5,992
4. Data analysis, coordination and data sharing	4.1 Coordinate activities with Pacific lamprey technical work group and other interested parties.	3	$6,344
	4.2 Data assimilation, analysis, and reporting.		$10,179
	4.3 Coordinate activities with graduate program at University of Idaho.	3	$6,405	Yes

Total FY 2001 budget request	$90,967
FY 2001 forecast from 2000	$72,992
% change from forecast	24.6%

Reason for change in estimated budget

Reasons for increase in budget include projected inflationary increases, an increase in manpower-months and state legislated salary increases. The majority of the increase is a result of including 2 months of biologist's salary for the project. The original project proposal included 20 months of personnel time, but was reduced to 14 months for FY2000. The additional biologist time will provide better coordination with other agencies and the University of Idaho, and provide more manpower for field sampling.

Reasons for increase in budget from FY 2000 include projected inflationary increases, an increase in manpower-months and state legislated salary increases.
