The mark group size requirements for the CSS study are determined by numer of marks needed to achieve desired confidence limits for the paratmers estiamted in the study design. All marking for Comparative Survival Study and the Smolt Monitoring Program are coordinated with all regional marking efforts. In this way maximinum effeciency and multiple application of mark groups is achieved for various study and monitoirng objectives throughout the region. Coordination and collaboration among the CSS and SMP has been a long standing objective of these two projects. The CSS annual rerpot includes a specific description o fthe mark group coordiantion that takes place in the SMP and CSS with other regional eforts. The previous response to the ISRP comments on the SMP, CSS and FPC coordiantion includes a flow chart which illustrates the operating relationship among the three projects. The tables from the CSS draft rerpot for 2010 are included to illustrate the specific mark group coordination that has and will continue to occur.
The following tables, taken from the draft CSS Annual Report for 2010, illustrate the mark group coordination implemented by the FPC. The FPC coordinates, Comparative Survival Study and Smolt Monitoring Program marking needs with other regional marking for research and monitoring. The FPC objective is to maximize efficiency and multiple applications of available mark groups. This provides a benefit across the region by maximizing the information generated from regional marking efforts.

Table 1.1. Snake River hatchery groups marked during 2010 that have all or part of their PIT tags provided by the CSS. Many groups have tags cooperatively provided the CSS and other entities. The hatchery, species, tag funding sources and tag totals are shown for each. Through cooperative efforts pre-assignments are carried out by either the CSS or the other associated agencies.
