FY 2010 estimated budget: $200,000 FY 2011 estimated budget: $200,000 |
Comments: Outyear budget is for the assessement of long-term (vs. relative) reproductive success using pedigree analysis |
Future O&M costs: The pedigree analysis may be extended into future brood years pending the recommendations of ISRP, BPA, and NWPCC, and the importance of continued long-term reproductive success studies in the Columbia Basin as a whole.

ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)
Recommendation: Fundable
NPCC comments: This is an innovative project with potential applicability and benefit to other projects and situations requiring estimation of reproductive success. Assessment of relative reproductive success and supplementation is a key issue in fish culture in the basin. Objectives are clear and tied in with a real world problem. Methods appear sound. The project is a few years old and has progressed from small scale lab testing to verify the utility and transmission of the elemental tag to a proposed field test. This phase of the project is the logical next step.
