Do not fund - no response required
Sep 28, 2001
Comment:
Do not fund. A response is not warranted. This is a request for funding to develop a proposal for estimating impact of catch and release fishing on non-hatchery salmon and steelhead in the Snake River. The background includes a statement that "Early work in the Snake River basin led to the conclusion anadromous adults could be released in selective fisheries with acceptable impacts (Pettit 1977)." The present proposal should have included what about that assessment is faulty and how its shortcomings (and shortcomings of other studies) will be overcome with a new study.This issue has systemwide implications and a cooperative Columbia Basin wide study may be more appropriate. The mainstem and systemwide solicitation will begin in late fall and winter of 2001. A detailed proposal could be prepared in cooperation with other interested parties for the mainstem or systemwide solicitation.
Comment:
Addresses RPA 167. The reviewers believe this proposal should be submitted for review through the Systemwide/Mainstem Province review due to systemwide implications.Comment:

Comment:
Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUReductions in impacts of harvest on listed runs in Idaho sport fisheries. Could Improve recreational fishery management
Comments
Cost seems excessive for literature search and scoping. Case not made that current information is not adequate. Project would be valuable if emphasis was on reducing 'uncertainty' and if 'ground-truthing' is a major goal.
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? Yes
Comment:
Do not recommend. This proposal does not identify the inadequacies of the existing studies, or estimate the degree to which they may be inaccurate. Without this information, it is not possible to determine whether a new study is warranted. BPA RPA RPM:
