Comment:
The ISRP review concluded that while this represents basic research with long-term value for the species, it is not well related to the overall Fish and Wildlife Program or to other studies in the Upper Columbia Basin. Reviewers also asked if the study results will apply to up-river stocks. The reviewers note that the technical background and justification are well described.
