Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on a proposal that clarifies relationships to other projects and better describes methodology.Comments: This proposal is not a stand-alone project. It needs to be evaluated in the context of an umbrella project that would establish how it is contributing (or not) to achieving the subbasin objectives. A goal-directed workshop would probably be of value to those responsible for planning and directing projects described in these proposals. An example of what results when a proposal (or project) is considered in isolation is provided on page 9 of this proposal where it is stated "Increases in diverse populations of Umatilla River salmon and steelhead have resulted from artificial and natural production (CTUIR and ODFW 1990)." Numbers of adults are not given, perhaps because this project has responsibility only for evaluating juvenile survival and the author did not think it appropriate to include information on adults. The reviewers had to glean such information from several different proposals, not all of which contained consistent numbers.
The potential application of information from this project is not clear. How will the information on juvenile survival be used? Further, from the information given in the proposal it is not clear that the study objectives, to measure differences in survival, can be achieved. For example, there is indication of an interest in measuring differences in survival between groups of fish released at different locations in the river. But no details of the experimental design are given. It is not clear whether differences in survival between years might obscure the effects of release location. Numbers of recoveries required to detect differences of various magnitudes ought to be specified and evaluated in terms of the likelihood the experiment can be carried out successfully.
