Contract Description:
The goal of this project is to investigate the critical habitat, abundance, migration patterns, survival, and alternate life history strategies exhibited by spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead juveniles from distinct populations in the Grande Ronde River and Imnaha River subbasins.  This project will provide information on abundance of spring Chinook salmon and steelhead parr and estimates for egg-to-parr and parr-to-smolt survival for spring Chinook salmon and parr-to-smolt survival for steelhead, and assess stream health in selected study streams. This study provides a means for long term monitoring of juvenile salmonid production in the Grande Ronde and Imnaha River subbasins that is essential for assessing the success of restoration and enhancement efforts including habitat improvement and hatchery supplementation.  As hatchery supplementation of spring Chinook salmon continues in the Grande Ronde subbasin, we will monitor...  abundance of migrants and survival to various life stages to determine the effectiveness of this management action.

Prepare statement of work and budget for work to be accomplished in the following fiscal year. Attend BPA training to be able to manage and administer the project as required by BPA. ODFW employees are required to be trained in specific areas, such as First Aid and CPR, to promote safety and efficiency in the workplace. Required training of employees will be in keeping with mandates of the Oregon Benchmarks for workforce development and to maintain professional growth and continual learning of the workforce (ODFW HR Policy 450.19).

C2003270Install Fish Monitoring EquipmentScrew Trap Installation and UpkeepThis work element is a necessary activity for continued monitoring of the spring Chinook salmon and steelhead populations under this investigation. Removal and installation of rotary screw traps occur occasionally and are generally associated with periods of extreme environmental conditions or periods of unsafe conditions for the species being collected. Rotary screw traps will be operated whenever conditions are favorable, and maintenance of sites and equipment will be performed as needed.$39,7415.00%02/01/200701/31/2008
D20033157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataSampling and Data Collection ActivitiesMilestones described in this work element provide the data needed to understand important life functions associated with early life history of spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead of Grande Ronde River and Imnaha River basins. In this investigation we operate rotary screw traps to quantify and characterize migratory patterns and survival of migrants of both species. Aspects of natural rearing during summer and winter seasons will be used to describe and monitor abundance, survival, and relative success during these important periods. Measures of stream health provide a means for assessing the condition of aquatic habitats and how they relate to fish survival in the subbasin. In this performance period we will collect spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead data that represent multiple migration years. Specifically, fish collected in spring 2007 will primarily migrate to the ocean in spring 2007, whereas most fish collected in the summer, fall and winter of 2007 will primarily migrate to the ocean in spring of 2008. Therefore, fish collected in summer, fall and winter under the FY 2006 performance period will be analyzed along with the fish collected in spring under this performance period, and likewise fish collected under this performance period will be analyzed along with the fish collected under the FY 2008 performance period. Given the diversity of summer steelhead early life history strategies, data for individual migration years may include small proportions of fish collected during as many as three past and or future performance periods, and potentially could be more. Data collected under this work element will be analyzed under Work Elements G (abundance estimates, age of steelhead from scales, migration timing), H (survival estimates from tagging to Lower Granite Dam), and I (survival in relation to stream health). This work element will require travel (camping) and transportation (chartered aircraft and horse packing) for field crew and activities. ODFW negotiated a 10-year access agreement with two landowners on the Lostine River to allow ODFW to operate and maintain a rotary screw trap on the Lostine River. The agreement was signed in March 2004 and an annual payment is due to the landowners in September of each year, unless the agreement is terminated by the landowner or ODFW.$158,96620.00%02/01/200701/31/2008
E20034158Mark/Tag AnimalsPIT Tagging and Marking Juvenile Spring Chinook Salmon and Summer SteelheadPIT tagging and marking are integral parts of this investigation, and are required to fulfill work elements: Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data (157); Submit/Acquire Data (159); Analyze/interpret data (162); Produce Annual Report (132). PIT tags are used to monitor abundance, survival and relative success of both spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead. In addition to our investigation, tagging and marking of these fish provides valuable information for research and management through all life stages. We will require 15,300 PIT tags to fulfill the five milestones described in this work element. In this Statement of Work (SOW) we will tag spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that will migrate to the ocean or be detected across multiple migration years. For example, migrants tagged in spring 2007 will migrate to the ocean in spring 2007, whereas the migrants tagged in the fall of 2007 will not migrate to the ocean until spring of 2008. Therefore, fish tagged in fall under the FY 2006 SOW will be analyzed along with the fish tagged in spring under this SOW, and likewise fish tagged under this SOW will be analyzed along with the fish tagged under the FY 2008 SOW. Given the diversity of summer steelhead emigration tactics, tagged fish may include small proportions of fish tagged during as many as three past and/or future SOW's.$166,91421.00%02/01/200701/31/2008
F20035159Transfer/Consolidate Regionally Standardized DataSubmittal of Project DataData generated by this investigation has been utilized by many different management agencies and interest groups, and is an integral part of fisheries management in the subbasin. All data associated with spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead PIT tagged during project activities have been uploaded to the Columbia River Basin PIT Tag Information System (PTAGIS) database. In addition, data generated during this investigation have been combined with other programs to identify, evaluate and monitor recovery efforts, and effectively manage fish in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin.$39,7415.00%02/01/200701/31/2008
G20036162Analyze/Interpret DataAbundance and Migration of Juvenile Salmonids in Study Streams During Migration Year 2007Data collected during project activities will be used to estimate abundance and in-subbasin migration patterns for juvenile spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead in the four study streams of Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, Lostine River, and Minam River. Migration timing to Lower Granite Dam of fish tagged in summer, fall, winter and spring, under Work Element E: Mark/Tag Fish, will be analyzed and compared by time of tagging, species and migratory year. In this performance period we will tag spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that will migrate to the ocean or be detected across multiple migration years. For example, migrants tagged in spring 2007 will migrate to the ocean in spring 2007, whereas the migrants tagged in the fall of 2007 will not migrate to the ocean until spring of 2008. Therefore, fish tagged in fall under the FY 2006 performance period will be analyzed along with the fish tagged in spring under this performance period, and likewise fish tagged in fall under this performance period will be analyzed along with the fish tagged under the FY 2008 performance period. Given the diversity of summer steelhead migration tactics, tagged fish may include small proportions of fish tagged during as many as three performance periods.$79,48310.00%09/01/200701/31/2008
