| C | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Nektonic Species sampling - Plume & coastal Oregon & Washington | Measure composition, distribution, and abundance of pelagic and nektonic species, including salmonids in 2013 in the Columbia River plume region. | Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - All Populations, Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) - Lower Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) - All Populations | Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) - All Populations | |
| D | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Assess the role of the plume on salmon growth and survival | Data will be collected to determine the following: Through analytical assessment of biological features of juvenile salmon in and out of the Columbia River plume, assess the role of unique features of the Columbia River plume that affect salmon growth and survival. Juvenile salmon species will be confirmed from cruise sampling, weighed and measured, and dissected. Samples will be distributed for analyses to assess genetic composition, growth characteristics, food consumed. Identify food habits and relationship to juvenile salmon metrics in and out of the Columbia River plume. Identify prey field abundance and species composition Continue to develop and refine indicators Database will be updated. Data regarding each individual juvenile salmon sampled in 2012 and some information from sampling in 2013, including species, size, location of capture, associated oceanographic conditions of sample site, food composition, and growth features will be entered into an MS Access database of all juvenile salmon sampled from this project for the period beginning in 1998 to the present. Datasets will be incorporated to the updated Access database including current sample analysis. | Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - All Populations, Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) - Lower Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) - All Populations | Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) - All Populations | |
