| D | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Collect Chinook Abundance Data from Cooperators (2006 data) | Collect data from cooperating agencies & internal IDFG personnel to support stock-recruit and life-stage analysis of Snake River spring/summer Chinook populations. This objective examines the productivity of the freshwater life stages and survival to adulthood. These data will be analyzed and reported in the 2006 annual report. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer (not listed), Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened) | ||
| E | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Estimate Parr Densities from Snorkeling (2006 data) | Process and interpret data for 2006 annual progress report. Using data gathered by snorkel crews, we will estimate the density (numbers/100 sq. m) of juvenile steelhead and Chinook in surveyed stream reaches. Data will be examined for trends in time, space, and habitat type for the years 2000-2006. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer (not listed), Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Snake River DPS (Threatened) | ||
| F | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Estimate Age Composition of Chinook Salmon Adults (2006 data) | Estimate the age at length for Chinook salmon carcasses that were collected in 2006. Also summarize the information collected from 2000-2005 for these data. We will estimate the age structure of the 2006 run of wild spring/summer Chinook salmon at Lower Granite Dam using scales. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened) | ||
| G | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Produce Stock-Recruit Model for Chinook Salmon in the Snake River (2006 data) | Stock recruit models, including the Ricker and Beverton-Holt, will be fit to Chinook salmon brood-year adult abundance and resulting juvenile production at the aggregate level (Snake River above Lower Granite Dam). The best model fit will be determined using the AIC criteria and the associated model parameters will be reported. The smolt to adult return rate will also be computed from the aggregate run estimates at Lower Granite Dam. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened) | ||
| H | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | General Parr Monitoring - Salmon sub-basin | Monitoring of salmonid parr abundance in the Salmon River drainage (may include tributaries to Snake River in Hells Canyon between Salmon River and Hells Canyon Dam as well as the main stem Salmon River itself). Historically, technicians snorkeled standard reaches (length varies) identifying all species and age groups within the reach. Depending on stream size, multiple snorkelers are employed to ensure all stream area is covered. General stream habitats quantified include stream width and length. Every three years, intensive reach habitat measurements are collected including habitat type, substrate composition, gradient, conductivity and channel types. Analysis and reporting of these data will occur in 2008. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Snake River DPS (Threatened) | Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Trout, Brook (Salvelinus fontinalis), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened), Whitefish, Mountain (Prosopium williamsoni) | |
| I | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | General Parr Monitoring - Clearwater sub-basin | Monitoring of salmonid parr abundance in the Clearwater River drainage (may include tributaries to the Snake River in Hells Canyon between the Clearwater and Salmon Rivers). Historically, technicians snorkel standard reaches (length varies) identifying all species and age groups within the reach. Depending on stream size, multiple snorkelers are employed to ensure all stream area is covered. However, depending on objectives and study design, other techniques may be employed (e.g., seining, electrofishing). General stream habitats quantified include stream width and length. Every three years, intensive reach habitat measurements are collected including habitat type, substrate composition, gradient, conductivity and channel types. Analysis and reporting of these data will occur in 2008. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer (not listed), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Snake River DPS (Threatened) | Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Trout, Brook (Salvelinus fontinalis), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened), Whitefish, Mountain (Prosopium williamsoni) | |
| J | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Collect Age Structure Data - Salmon sub-basin | Field & laboratory work to collect age, sex, and length data from Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon. Carcass surveys are conducted in cooperation with Idaho Supplementation Studies (BPA projects 1989-098-00, 1989-098-01, 1989-098-02, 1989-098-03) at ISS study sites, Chinook Captive Rearing Evaluation (1997-00-100) at project weirs, and IDFG and Forest Service personnel at traditional index redd count sites. We will also sample carcasses at selected sites with high densities of spawning fish. Age is determined using sectioned fin rays for fish carcasses. Scales are used to determine age for live fish sampled at weirs and Lower Granite Dam. With the addition of scale samples, the bias of carcass collection will be determined using existing weirs. This bias will be used to correct the age at length for Chinook. Analysis and reporting of these data will occur in 2008. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened) | ||

| L | 160 | Create/Manage/Maintain Database | Data Management | Database maintenance & management of the stream survey database and the carcass age/sex/length database. The standard stream survey database was developed to store stream survey data from the General Parr Monitoring and associated data collections. It has grown to include other stream survey sites and is shared with other agency cooperators. The database is intended to allow easy access by fish managers and researchers to query the associated sample collections. The INPMEP is responsible for the database maintenance and management, however any additional needs beyond the scope of the contract are completed by the cooperating project. The carcass database includes all biological data taken or measured from fish sampled in the field as well as the associated laboratory measures (age). The INPMEP biological samples data base will be linked to other spawning ground data bases in 2007 to improve its utility for stock assessments. | |||
