Comment:
This proposal to test an innovative piece of equipment is sound. The new acoustic camera, just recently available commercially, could be used to locate and monitor redds in deep and turbid water throughout the Columbia and Snake Rivers. However, the critical need for use of the camera to identify salmonid spawning below the Columbia River dams is not convincingly presented. What are the benefits compared to what is currently being used? Questions and concerns: ? Why cannot this project be conducted under the current contract 99-003 "Evaluate spawning of fall chinook and chum salmon just below the four lowermost Columbia River mainstem dams" being conducted by the USGS? ? Will the camera be of use in location and monitoring of redds during high water conditions in smaller streams?Comment:
This work could be closely integrated with existing projects that are monitoring mainstem spawning.Comment:
