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.  Cryopreserved milt from anadromous and broodstock program male sockeye salmon will be used to develop selected safety net broodstocks to supplement future spawning designs.  The SBSTOC will develop annual release plans for eyed-eggs, juveniles, and adult fish from the program.
