ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY
Idaho Supplementation Studies (ISS) is a Clearwater River and Salmon River sub-basin wide cooperative research project that is partitioned among four resource management entities for implementation. These include the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Nez Perce Tribe, Shoshone-Bannock Tribe, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-Idaho Fishery Resource Office. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game functions as the lead agency with respect to project development, coordination, and implementation. The remaining duties are partitioned among all cooperating agencies, and each is individually contracted through Bonneville Power Administration. This Statement of Work for contract year 2007 (Jan - Dec 2007) includes synthesis of research activities and tasks completed by all cooperating agencies.

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes collect data from juvenile Chinook salmon at the East Fork Salmon River and the West Fork Yankee Fork Salmon River in order to satisfy Work Elements D, G, H, and J.  We also collect adult data from East Fork Salmon River, West Fork Yankee Fork, Valley Creek, and Bear Valley Creek (tributary to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River).  These activities are detailed in Work Elements E, F, and P.  We will be unable to accomplish any juvenile collection at the West Fork Yankee Fork unless a new rotary screw trap is secured to replace the demolished one.
