Schedule Constraints: Production and release of hatchery salmonids in the Columbia Basin is regulated by NMFS under the Endangered Species Act. Specific groups to be tagged depend on funding for the production and tagging of hatchery salmon in Washington.

Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 99-2)
Recommendation:
Fund for one year
Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund for one year, but the overhead on CWT purchases should be examined. Subsequent funding contingent on a programmatic review. This entire set of smolt monitoring projects needs to receive a programmatic review with one of the goals to develop and justify a program-wide design that really is capable of delivering enough data, of high enough precision, to answer the management questions.

Comments: This project has not met the objectives for recovery rates of CWT coho for many years. The requested increase in budget to address this problem by tagging more coho appears appropriate. The proposed large charge for overhead on purchase of CWTs should be examined. The actual overhead costs for bulk-purchases of CWTs is probably much less. It might be much more cost-effective for the BPA to purchase the tags and just provide them to the agencies. See comments on CWT umbrella.
