Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Fund (high priority).

Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund (high priority). OK for multi-year funding; review on an annual basis for progress toward meeting objectives.
Comments:
This is integrally linked to a number of the other key ongoing projects. The fish production herein is critical to the HRPP as it stands defined. The original concerns of using non-native fish have been addressed - unless there are some difficulties that are not apparent from the narrative. Objectives are well delineated, although the technical details of methodology is not always so detailed. If procedures are not changing, the details may not be all that necessary. The methods could better line up with the objectives. According to the proposal, the average smolt-to-adult return since 1993 has been ~0.2% (240 adults divided by 125,000 smolts). This is far below the 0.68% SAR target, which suggests that there may be opportunities to improve survival of hatchery smolts. Perhaps taking 50% of the returning adults for broodstock is a bit risky until the performance of hatchery releases can be demonstrably improved. There doesn't seem to be a mechanism in the set of proposals to say we are making a mistake here. The completion date is not mentioned. The budget is unclear (section 5). The requested budget from BPA is $115,029, but under cost-sharing this is listed as $148,645?
