The ultimate goal of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) Sockeye Salmon Captive Broodstock Program is to reestablish sockeye salmon runs to Sawtooth Valley waters and to provide for utilization of sockeye salmon and kokanee resources.  In the near term, our goal is to maintain genetic resources unique to Snake River sockeye salmon and prevent species extinction while long-term solutions in smolt-to-adult survival are sought. The IDFG and the Stanley Basin Sockeye Technical Oversight Committee (SBSTOC) have agreed to adhere to a program of prudent broodstock management to minimize inbreeding and the potential influence of domestication.  In cooperation with the IDFG Genetics staff and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, annual spawning designs are developed to minimize the risk of inbreeding and to maximize the distribution of genetic information across families.  The SBSTOC will develop annual release plans for eyed-eggs, juveniles, and adult fish from the program.  Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Oxbow Fish Hatchery is currently providing rearing space for sockeye smolt production.  Oxbow FH will rear between 60,000 and 150,000 sockeye smolts annually.
