YearAccomplishment
2000 This is the first year of this study. In FY2000 we will determine the effects of 115, 120, 125, and 130% TDGS on reproductive potential in spring chinook salmon

Objective 1. Determine the effects of acute exposure to various TDGS levels on the fecundity of adult steelhead or sockeye salmon. Task 1. a. Expose adult salmon to various levels of TDGS. We will stock 8 to 12 adult female salmon into tanks where they will be exposed to 115, 120, 125, or 130% TDGS. Fish will be tagged and returned to general hatchery population . 1 $56,553
Objective 1 Task 1. b. Determine the effect of TDGS on fecundity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), and egg quality of steelhead or sockeye salmon. 1 $17,967
Objective 2. Determine the effects of chronic, in-river exposure to TDGS on fecundity of steelhead or sockeye salmon. Task 2. a. Develop migratory scenarios based on available radio telemetry and archive tag studies (Dr. Ted Bjornn, USGS). Scenarios will include travel time between dams, depth and depth-compensated TDGS, and water temp. 1 $10,012
Objective 2. Task2. b. Expose adult steelhead or sockeye salmon to chronic TDGS based on scenarios developed in Task 2.a. 1 $30,750
Objective 2. Task 2. c Determine the effect of chronic TDGS on fecundity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), and egg quality of steelhead or sockeye salmon. 1 $7,879
Objective 3. Determine the impact of maternal exposure to acute (Objective 1) and chronic (Objective 2) TDGS on fertilization and short term survival of progeny of steelhead or sockeye salmon. Task 3. a. Determine the fertilization rate for all experimental fish in Objectives 1 & 2. All eggs from a treatment female will be kept in an individual tray and dead eggs (i.e., those not fertilized) will be enumerated. 1 $7,425
Objective 3 Task 3. b. Determine the short-term survival of progeny of all experimental fish in Objectives 1 & 2. 1 $7,669
Objective 4 Task 4. a. Determine the total impact of TDGS on reproductive success of steelhead or sockeye salmon by comparing data collected on fish exposed to TDGS to that of fish handled but not exposed to TDGS and to fish in the general hatchery population. 1 $18,136
