REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2002-2)

Recommendation:
Fundable only if response is adequate

Date:
Mar 1, 2002

Comment:

A response is needed. The proposal is for a feasibility study to develop an ability to count adult anadromous fish as they pass Zosel Dam on their way to Lake Osoyoos and its tributaries. Lake Osoyoos is one of two lakes in the Columbia Basin that continue to support healthy populations of sockeye salmon. Previous efforts to count fish with video cameras as they transited the ladders were not entirely satisfactory. This proposal is to test newly developed technology for its use in this application. Recommended adjustments in the ladders arising from the previous experience will also be incorporated.

There is a particular need for more information on sockeye salmon survival rates and other life history characteristics. Their limited distribution and special life histories have combined to limit the opportunity for studies. The Okanogan run of sockeye exhibits some unusual behavior patterns in response to a temperature block that sometimes occurs at the mouth of the river. Unexplained losses of fish occur between Wells Dam, which is the last upstream counting station, and counts on the spawning grounds.

This project is fundable on a technical basis and is an important project that merits high priority. However, a response is needed on the following two items: 1) cost estimates need to be better justified, and 2) alternatives to blocking the spillbays should be explored.

REVIEW:
CBFWA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
High Priority

Date:
May 17, 2002

Comment:

This project would address a major data gap in adult counting. The ladder counts at Wells Dam as compared with the spawning survey counts vary by 100%. This project would fill a gap between those two locations. The first year of the study is a feasibility study to determine all possible options.

REVIEW:
ISRP Final Review (ISRP 2002-11)

Comment:

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESU
This stock Assessment project would enumerate sockeye and potentially other species.

Comments
Good project but major species of interest is Okanogan Sockeye; listed species at low level of usage at present. Results may provide information on adult losses above Wells Dam.

Already ESA Req? No

Biop? No
