The BiOp RM&E Workgroups made the following determinations regarding the proposal's ability or need to support BiOp Research, Monitoring and Evaluation (RME) RPAs. If you have questions regarding these RPA association conclusions, please contact your BPA COTR and they will help clarify, or they will arrange further discussion with the appropriate RM&E Workgroup Leads. BiOp RPA associations for the proposed work are: (50.6 62.5 64.2)
All Questionable RPA Associations ( ) and
All Deleted RPA Associations (63.1)
Proponent Response:
This is response to a request to clarify linkage between the Chinook Salmon Adult Abundance Monitoring project and RPA 63.1. RPA 63.1 is designed to determine effect of safety-net & conservation hatchery programs: Determine the effect that safety-net and conservation hatchery programs have on the viability and recovery of the targeted populations of salmon and steelhead. The Secesh River natural origin Chinook salmon population acts as a control stream under the Idaho Salmon Supplementation studies (Bowles and Leitzinger 1991) and a reference stream for the Johnson Creek and Northeast Oregon Hatchery supplementation programs monitoring and evaluation plans (Vogel et al. 2005, Hesse et al. 2006). Adult escapement and progeny-per-parent ratio (productivity) information from a reference stream, the Secesh River, are compared to supplementation program performance to separate environmental effects from supplementation effects.
