Comment:
This proposal is an innovative approach to an important problem. The project is fundable if some salmon can be added to some of the treatment levels to calibrate the study (e.g., some salmon might be added to the control and high stress treatments). Presently the study plan relies on hatchery-reared rainbow trout. The biggest issue is recognized by the sponsors, namely that trout not salmon would be used as the test units and the study would not be conducted in the Pacific Northwest. They have an excellent facility for conduct of the study. The proposal lacks details in the design in that it never comments on what the physical stressor is and how the recovery environment is managed. Specific Comments and Questions: ? The proposed study provides a logical laboratory approach to help reduce the nagging uncertainty of the existence of delayed mortality for emigrating juvenile salmon in the Columbia River. ? The sponsors should recognize the study as a 2 X 3 cubed factorial experiment: 2 levels for constant and intermittent exposure and 3 levels (control, low and high) for each of gas, temperature and trauma. This results in 2 x 3 cubed = 54 treatment combinations, perhaps using blocks of 8 units (tanks) over time. ? The sponsor may be trying to do too much in a pilot "innovative" project. For example, it may be better to show some effects then study the intermittent exposure level?Comment:
