Reviews and recommendations

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

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2001-12B)

Recommendation:
Fundable only if response is adequate

Date:
Dec 21, 2001

Comment:

A response is required. This proposal is mostly material shared with projects #200117 and #200113 (or the other way around); so most comments on them could apply in part to this proposal also. This project's potential responders are referred to those comments. However, this proposal seems to have some of its material more logically organized and is more thorough in terms of stating results, i.e., the project history section contains results. The proposal is largely for operating expenses associated with the Lyons Ferry complex hatcheries but also includes some funds for marking and evaluation. Project sponsors should respond to comments on any of these projects in one collated and integrated response.

REVIEW:
ISRP Final Review (ISRP 2002-6)

Recommendation:
Fund

Date:
Apr 23, 2002

Comment:

Fundable. The respondents presented a helpful package of information and responses to ISRP questions. Their responses amply address the ISRP's preliminary review requests for description of the scientific basis for the program; reference to relevant literature on steelhead residualization and reproductive performance; clarification of technical matters such as sample site selection and assessment of data quality; description of broodstock development; and clarification of harvest goals. If future preparations for review build on this, the processing of the resultant materials should be efficient. WDFW should be congratulated on their efforts to reduce straying, production, and to protect endemic gene pools.

Although they have taken considerable action to prevent their program from causing further jeopardy for wild stocks, and will continue to do so, they inform the ISRP that they will not stop mitigation actions authorized under the LSRCP. They blame NMFS in one instance, for not providing guidance on the amount of reduction needed to preclude deleterious effects in wild fish, but WDFW should take responsibility in determining what steps to take to avoid potential harm caused by the fish they release. The intent of this program is to use LSRCP authorization to produce fish for harvest, but a primary intent of other basin programs is to conserve native species and increase abundance to useful and persistent levels. These differing views of "basin management" may have several incompatibilities.

If hatchery production (Project 200114) was reduced by 7,000 lb annually to redirect some money into habitat structure construction (p 4), does that habitat structure work continue today?
