Groups met 30 recoveries/group criteria, (not yet available).
1997 Photonic tagged 32,333 coho. Recovered 8 jacks in the fall of 1997, from these marked groups. Technical problems limited number of fish tagged. Low mortality, good retention from tagging to release (5 months). No photonic marks observed in jacks.
1998 Recovered 458 adults from photonic mark groups, no photonic marks observed. Tagged 64,207 coho with VIE tags (and Ad+CWT) for release in April 1999.
1999 Tagged 74,771 coho with VIE tags (and Ad+CWT) for release in April 2000. Recovered 17 jacks from VIE mark groups, 12 had visible VIE marks.

Reason for change in estimated budget

The FY2001 forecast made in FY2000 included costs for VIE tagging (Obj. 4). Although Obj. 4 does continue in FY2001 the 3 years of tagging will be completed in FY2000. This decrease in spending was partially offset by an increase in the number of fish tagged under Obj. 1 (additional 45K). This is an increase in the number of fish tagged for 2 specific tag groups that had not been consistently reaching the goal of 30 observed recoveries.

Reason for change in scope

There have been no new objectives/tasks added, and only minor changes in numbers of fish tagged in a few specific instances.

Comment:

The FY 2001 forecast made in FY 2000 included costs for VIE tagging (Objective 4). Although Objective 4 does continue in FY 2001 the 3 years of tagging will be completed in FY 2000. This decrease in spending was partially offset by an increase in the number of fish tagged under Objective 1 (additional 45,000). This is an increase in the number of fish tagged for two specific tag groups that had not been consistently reaching the goal of 30 observed recoveries.

There have been no new objectives/tasks added, and only minor changes in numbers of fish tagged in a few specific instances.
