| Short description | Using radiotelemetry and tagged lampreys, we will determine timing and movement patterns of upstream migrating Pacific lampreys. Overwintering and spawning habitats of Pacific lampreys in the John Day River Basin will be characterized. |

Reason for change in estimated budget
For FY 2000, we modified our original proposal to accommodate reduced funding and revised schedule under the "innovative project" category. We have borrowed some equipment (telemetry receivers, etc). Since we cannot borrow these items after March 2001, the FY 2001 budget reflects the cost of purchasing these items. Since evidence suggests Pacific lamprey spawn from May – June, we will not be able to examine spawning behavior and habitat preferences without additional funding that will allow us to purchase telemetry equipment dedicated to this project.
Reason for change in scope
In FY 2000, we changed our proposal to conform to the "innovative project" constraints. With only one year of limited funding we had to limit our objectives to the identification of fall and winter habitat use by upstream migrating Pacific lampreys. Since evidence suggests Pacific lamprey spawn from May – June, and the current contract expires in April, we would not be able to examine spawning behavior and habitat preferences as we proposed originally. Thus, we propose a change in scope of the project to allow our original objectives to be addressed. Due to the reduced funding level and late start in FY 2000, we also propose to extend the project's duration a year to allow two seasons of data collection and sufficient time to complete analysis and writing.

Comment:
This is a FY 2000 innovative project that is not eligible for FY 2001 funding until completion of the initial work and a final report on that work (NWPPC 2000-6).
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund
