Project 2000-017-00 - Recondition Wild Steelhead Kel

General

Project Number:
2000-017-00
Title:
Recondition Wild Steelhead Kel
Summary:
This project is a collaborative approach to directly evaluate relative reproductive success of three variants of steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss (natural-origin, hatchery-origin, and reconditioned kelt) across two ESUs of interest as listed in the BPA Request for Studies released in 2003. Additionally, the project will evaluate kelt steelhead reconditioning and rematuration rates spatially and temporally. The nature of this work dictates long-term commitments to funding and monitoring. As proposed this project will operate for 12 years, thus encompassing 2 steelhead generations and 1 reference year-class.

Final Round ISRP Date: None
Final Round ISRP Rating: Meets Scientific Review Criteria - In Part
Final Round ISRP Comment:
The ISRP recommends Fundable in Part to complete the experiment but not full implementation.

The sponsors responded to the ISRP request for additional information on this and companion project 200306200 in a common response. They responded to our questions about implementation and how the projects relate to each other in a satisfactory manner.

There does appear to be some promise in this approach in spite of some initial failures (in producing smolts and at these contributing to wild reproduction). The evidence of recruitment is very poor. It is important to continue the experiment (not full implementation) long enough to make certain an adequate attempt and evaluation have occurred.

Nevertheless, this takes away from the real issue that migration success of kelts is constrained by the hydrosystem, both in terms of the hydro projects and river conditions are not conducive to re-conditioning.
