Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Date:
May 13, 1998
Comment:
Criteria 1: Technical Criteria - Incomplete Given the wide range of kelt abundance est. among projects the study should explain how accurate the estimates of abundance are based on observations at only one project. Perhaps addition of other sites, where other factors come into play are necessary
Criteria 2: Objectives Criteria - Incomplete: The proposal needs to state a criteria for the estimated number of kelts that would justify the continuation of the study.
Criteria 3: Milestones Criteria - Incomplete Possibly, but the study makes no contingency in terms of costs (dollars and time) if a morphological assessment cannot be adequately developed.
Criteria 4: Resources Criteria - Incomplete The proposal only refers to two persons, one half time and the other 10% time. I trust this is sufficient personnel.

Comment:
This proposal is for a different technological approach to increasing fish populations, "reconditioning" of potential repeat spawners. The proposal has a number of significant flaws. It does not adequately describe reconditioning and needs more scientific information on repeat spawners. A study of the occurrence and importance of repeat spawners would provide important data. The reconditioning portion of the proposal should be viewed with caution, as it could be harmful to steelhead populations, particularly if repeat spawners are important to reproduction.
