Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund
Date:
Jun 15, 1999
Comment:
Recommendation:
Do not fund, technically inadequate.
Comments:
While proponents contend that cold water disease/columnaris have recently become important in hatcheries, the proposal offers little data, analysis, or citations to support the view. The technical and scientific background as presented here lacks thoroughness, and the proposal is vague in many respects. The methods provide only a general idea of what is proposed and there is no experimental design described. Numbers of experimental fish, treatments, when fish will be collected, how samples are handled, etc. are not quantified, and thus it is impossible to judge the validity of the approach. This may well be an important problem but the programmatic and technical context is not sufficiently developed. For these reasons, we judge that the proposal does not have adequate objectives, methods, and provisions for monitoring and evaluation of results. CBFWA itself notes that the disease can be (and is) controlled with existing methods, and on a case-by-case basis.
