F | 31890 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Assess population-level patterns of genetic variation in all 3 genera in the Columbia Basin | The goal of the proposed work is to use the newly developed microsatellite markers to assess genetic variation at the population and landscape scale within Margaritifera and both lineages of Anodonta. Over the past few years, through the collection efforts of CTUIR and several state biologists, we have amassed a large collection of genetic samples from these three taxa. Although additional samples continue to arrive, we currently have 23 populations of Anodonta and 24 populations of Margartifera that can be assessed for population-level genetic variation (with a minimum sample size of 10). We anticipate that the numbers of samples representing each of these populations will be increased via field collection efforts next year. The great majority of these samples have been extracted for DNA, and are ready to analyze using the new markers. In addition, we propose to analyze up to 5 individuals from each of the populations sampled since August 2007 for mitochondrial sequence variation. | $84,000 | 36.05% | 02/01/2008 | 09/30/2008 |
G | 33877 | 66 | Trap/Collect/Hold/Transport Fish - Hatchery | Translocation of Freshwater Mussels into the Umatilla River | The Umatilla Subbasin Summary is unique in that it specifically calls for strategies that will enhance the potential to restore freshwater shellfish into the Umatilla River system. Although river mussels once occurred in the Umatilla River system, only two genera, Anodonta and Gonidea, are currently present, and Margaritifera may be extirpated from the river. Here, we propose a pilot study to experimentally translocate mussels from downstream beds and nearby drainages, such as the John Day River system, back into the upper Umatilla River.
Specific objectives of this project are 1) to relocate A. californiensis and A. oregonensis from downstream reaches or nearby drainage to the upper Umatilla River, where relocation sites will be selected based, in part, on the information obtained on previous studies conducted in the MFJD by CTUIR, 2) to monitor the survival and physiological state of translocated mussels, and 3) to study the effects of hyporheic exchange on mussel survival rates. | $23,500 | 10.09% | 03/01/2008 | 09/30/2008 |

J | 31895 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Analyze results of host fish experiments | Data collected from both laboratory and field experiments will be used to characterize host fish requirements for the three genera of mussels found in mid-Columbia drainages, and historically in the Umatilla River system. If glochidia morphologies between genera and Anodonta are distinct, the detailed photographs of these morphological differences can be used to guide resource managers, including hatchery managers, on mussel/host fish relationships. | $10,000 | 4.29% | 08/31/2008 | 09/30/2008 |
