Section 3. Relationships to other projects

Project IDTitleDescription
20512 Grand Ronde River Basin Umbrella The management intent for GRR basin involves protecting and enhancing fish and wildlife species, their habitats and watershed health to ensure their persistence. The objectives and strategies to achieve this goal are described in this umbrella proposal.

199801001 Grande Ronde Basin Spring Chinook Captive Broodstock Program Implement captive broodstock programs and associated research, monitoring, evaluation, and fish health for spring chinook salmon populations in Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde and Lostine rivers, to conserve genetic diversity and assist in recovery.
199801006 Captive Broodstock Artificial Propagation Implements the captive broodstock project through the collection of juvenile salmon from the wild and maintaining them in captivity. The founding generation is spawned at maturity and the resulting F1 generation is released back to the parental stream.
199606700 Manchester Spring Chinook Broodstock Project Rear Snake River spring/summer chinook salmon captive broodstocks from Idaho's Salmon River sub-basin and Oregon's Grande Ronde River sub-basin. Provide pre-spawning adults, eyed eggs, and juveniles to aid recovery of these ESA-listed stocks.
199703800 Preserve Salmonid Gametes Preserve male salmonid gametes through cryogenic techniques in order to maintain genetic diversity in populations with low levels of abundance and at high risk of localized extinction.

Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Fundable - no response required
Date:
Dec 21, 2001

Comment:

Fundable. The proposal is well organized and integrated with other associated projects but this proposal only covers the operating expenses for facilities (operated by ODFW) associated with conventional production of spring chinook and steelhead in the Imnaha basin. The proposal presents a purely fish hatchery approach: so-called compensation rather than dealing with causative problems. There is no deviation from past cost estimates for these activities. The short description in Section 1 is inaccurate and should be corrected to be more descriptive of this actual proposal.

Since this proposal only addresses facility operating expenses, it may not be appropriate to comment on data and data management. However, there is a general need for data to be stored in an appropriate consistent database for all LSRCP hatcheries and are available through a distributed system via the Internet. Data available from these programs must be made available for assessments and progress towards project goals. The data and evaluation should be consistent with the Dworshak use of the Idaho FRO system (see Task 3.c in Proposal 200101) and any database in use by the Oregon Evaluation Studies (#200109). Results must be given in the proposal even if collected and analyzed by a different project. In particular, results for returning adults, straying rates, and reproduction of strays that spawn naturally should be given.
