Management implications
Both Idaho and Oregon management agencies have already collected chinook salmon parr from the 1994 brood year from their natal streams for captive culture. Given the considerable uncertainty regarding this approach, it is essential that monitoring and evaluation be adequate to allow true adaptive management. Considerations include changes in life history parameters (e.g., age at return and the role of residual precocious male juveniles), inbreeding in the hatchery-wild system as a whole, short- and long-term effects on population fitness in natural habitat, maturation and gamete quality, and facility availability for handling multiple demes. In addition, facilities for captive rearing should be evaluated for disease incidence, water and emergency power supplies, and management performance. Optimum timing of capture of subjects for captive rearing should be considered.
Specific measureable objectives
Testable hypothesis
HYPOTHESIS E.5: CAPTIVE CULTURE OF WILD SALMON DEMES UNDER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES DOES NOT REDUCE FITNESS OF THESE DEMES.

Section 3. Budget
Data shown are the total of expense and capital obligations by fiscal year. Obligations for any given year may not equal actual expenditures or accruals within the year, due to carryover, pre-funding, capitalization and difference between operating year and BPA fiscal year.| Historic costs | FY 1996 budget data* | Current and future funding needs |
| (none) | New project - no FY96 data available | 1997: 200,000 1998: 500,000 1999: 500,000 2000: 500,000 2001: 500,000 |
