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 - Yes
Criteria 2: Objectives Criteria - Yes
Criteria 3: Milestones Criteria - Incomplete: The determination of a juvenile survival estimate should be more thought out and documented. It is unclear if continued Jones Beach sampling by NMFS is available, and whether this is sufficient for developing a juvenile survival estimate.
Criteria 4: Resources Criteria - Yes
Recommendation:

Comment:
ISRP reviewers consider this effort of extreme importance. The proposal itself is not well written, however, and the proposed methods for sampling design may not be the best. The reviewers comment that the work should be coordinated or combined with other studies on juveniles. In addition, ISRP members inquire if the proponents intend to survey areas other than Hamilton Slough and caution that visibility bias is possible in surveying redds. Spawners may not have coded wire tags, posing a further concern for the accuracy of the study.
