     C157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataJuvenile Sample CollectionA systematic sample of 2000 migrating naturally produced juveniles will be collected at screw traps throughout the year. The sampling rate will depend upon the estimated capture of fish throughout the entire season. Factors that will influence capture include trap efficiency, number of eggs deposited, and survival. Naturally produced fish will be distinguished from hatchery produced fish by the absence of a mark or tag. Fish will be weighed, measured, and a small portion of the distal portion of the dorsal lobe of the caudal fin (~0.1 cm2) will be clipped for DNA. The caudal fin tissue will be placed in a vial with preservative. Fish will be collected in the screw traps annually beginning in 2006. The trap will be located in the thalwegs of the rivers and attached to anchors upstream. Migrants will be collected from a screw trap located at rkm 9.6. Based on historical trap efficiencies, if the number of spring chinook redds above Tumwater Dam is below 300 in any given year, a second screw trap will be installed and operated in tandem with the primary trap to ensure a 2000 fish sample is obtained for that brood year. Based on the number of samples of unknown origin, (i.e., the small number of fish that may spawn below Tumwater Dam) the total number of samples will be adjusted annually based on the proportion of spring chinook redds found during spawning ground surveys below Tumwater Dam (e.g., Peshastin Creek).Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Columbia River Spring ESU (Endangered)

     E157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataAdult Sample CollectionCollect DNA samples and data on the largest proportion of spring Chinook the migrate upstream of Tumwater Dam as possible to estimate relative spawning success and survival of naturally and hatchery-produced fish. Ideally, if 100% of the spring Chinook are sampled then in subsequent years we should be able to assign parents to all their progeny (i.e., smolt or adult life stage). As the proportion of spawning adults sampled decreases, a greater proportion of progeny will have no assigned parents.Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Columbia River Spring ESU (Endangered)

     I185Produce CBFish Status ReportPeriodic Status Reports for BPAThe Contractor shall report on the status of milestones and deliverables in Pisces. Reports shall be completed either monthly or quarterly as determined by the BPA COTR. Additionally, when indicating a deliverable milestone as COMPLETE, the contractor shall provide metrics and the final location (latitude and longitude) prior to submitting the report to the BPA COTR.
     J132Produce Progress (Annual) ReportSubmit Progress Report for the period (Mar 2013) to (Feb 2014)The progress report summarizes the project goal, objectives, hypotheses, completed and uncompleted deliverables, problems encountered, lessons learned, and long-term planning. Examples of long-term planning include future improvements, new directions, or level of effort for contract implementation, including any ramping up or ramping down of contract components or of the project as a whole. Date range Mar 2013 to Feb 2014 is agreed upon by the COTR and the contractor. This single report will cover all work performed under NOAA's FY13 contract # 46273 REL 64.
