B | 46792 | 63 | Rear Fish | Marine culture Of Snake River Chinook salmon | NOAA Fisheries provides high quality seawater rearing for Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon at its Manchester Research Station on Washington's Puget Sound. Historically the rearing process has begun in May-June of each year when ODFW transfers about 750 smolting fish from its freshwater rearing facility in Wallowa, Oregon to Manchester for seawater rearing. Upon arrival, these smolts are acclimated to seawater in 4.1-m diameter circular tanks in building 12. They are then transferred to larger 6.1-m circular tanks in building 13 where they are reared for one to three years before being transferred back to freshwater when they show the first signs of maturation. While being held at Manchester these ESA listed fish are reared following the best known salmon culture practices that have been developed over the last century. This begins by filtering and treating the natural seawater supplying all tanks with ultraviolet light (UV) to eliminate fish pathogens. In addition, the seawater is chilled as needed to improve the marine rearing environment. Rearing and loading densities within the tanks are held below 8 kg/m3 and 0.29 kg/Lpm respectively to ensure good fish health conditions. All tanks are covered with netting to prevent escape. Fish are fed an established brood diet and hand fed to behaviorally assess their overall health prior to the loading of automatic feeders. The daily ration is limited to 0.075 lbs feed/gpm to ensure a healthy rearing environment and sampling minimized to reduce handling stress. The rearing tanks are housed within buildings to protect the fish from predation, vandalism, and theft, as well as provide them a less stressful lowlight environment. Mortalities are picked daily, processed for diagnostic purposes, and therapeutic treatments administered following fish health staff recommendations. Each spring, the fish in all tanks are assessed for maturation status using ultrasound technology and then all maturing fish are transferred to Bonneville Hatchery in Oregon for final maturation. These fish culture practices have annually generated up to 300 maturing marine reared spring Chinook salmon that Oregon can use in its restoration efforts. | $183,040 | 64.00% | 12/01/2008 | 11/30/2009 |
C | 46793 | 60 | Maintain Fish Health | Pathology and diagnostic services | Observable indexes of fish health are checked daily by examining feeding response, external condition, and behavior of fish in each tank as initial indicators of developing problems. In particular, fish culturists observe for signs of lethargy, spiral swimming, side swimming, jumping, flashing, unusual respiratory activity, body surface abnormalities, and unusual coloration. Presence of any of these behaviors or conditions is reported to the fish health staff. Additionally, the presence of moribund fish is reported to fish health staff for blood and parasite sampling. A fish pathologist routinely monitors captive broodstock mortalities to determine cause of death. When a treatable pathogen is either detected or suspected, a fish health specialist, in consultation with ODFW fish health staff, prescribes appropriate prophylactic and therapeutic drugs to control the problem. Select mortalities are appropriately preserved for pathology, genetic, and other analyses. Specimens that are not vital to analysis are disposed of in a manner consistent with ESA permits. | $30,031 | 10.50% | 12/01/2008 | 11/30/2009 |
D | 46794 | 61 | Maintain Artificial Production Facility/Infrastructure | Maintain marine culture facilities | This work encompasses a variety of grounds, building, and equipment maintenance activities required to ensure the Manchester Marine Research Station can provide a high quality salmon culture environment for these anadromous fish during the marine portion of their life cycle. It includes routine installation, service, and maintenance of chillers, generators, disinfection equipment, ozone generators, alarms, pumps, plumbing, electrical equipment, rearing vessels, fish culture equipment, buildings, and hatchery grounds. | $42,328 | 14.80% | 12/01/2008 | 11/30/2009 |
E | 46795 | 189 | Coordination-Columbia Basinwide | Captive propagation program coordination | NOAA Fisheries will coordinate the details of rearing parameters for these fish with ODFW through the Chinook Salmon Captive Propagation Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) CSCPTOC and Chinook Salmon Captive Broodstock Technical Oversight Team (TOT) CCBPTOT process. NOAA Fisheries staff will have one or more phone and/or email interactions with ODFW, Nez Perce Tribe, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla, and NOAA Fisheries Regional Office staff to coordinate information on fish rearing, health, sampling, and transfer. NOAA Fisheries will coordinate transfer of information from its fish health database as needed. | $9,438 | 3.30% | 12/01/2008 | 11/30/2009 |
F | 46796 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | Manage Project Implementation | Covers work by the contractor to manage on the ground efforts, or to manage subcontractors associated with the project e.g., construction management. Also covers administrative work in support of on the ground efforts and in support of BPA's programmatic requirements such as metric reporting, financial reporting (e.g., accruals), and development of an SOW package (includes draft SOW, budget, and property inventory).
