Submit FY11 and FY12 SOWs and supporting documents as needed for BPA's Environmental Compliance Group to determine environmental compliance status. | $6,000 | 2.05% | 10/01/2010 | 09/30/2011 |
| B | 73235 | 159 | Transfer/Consolidate Regionally Standardized Data | Submit data to CTUIR central database | All data collected during the course of the Freshwater Mussel Project will be submitted to to CTUIR's central database. This database will eventually be available to the public via CTUIR's website. | $12,000 | 4.09% | 09/01/2011 | 09/30/2011 |
| C | 73236 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Fish Host Experiment | Shorthead sculpin, redside shiner, suckers, peamouth, longnose dace, northern pike minnow, and speckled dace will be collected from sites on the upper Umatilla River and bass and/or sunfish will be collected from the middle Umatilla River. Fish will be collected by seining areas of the river where resting salmon are not known to occur. No listed fish species will be collected. We anticipate no more than 20 fish of each species will be used in laboratory experiments. Any fish captured and not used will be returned to the collection site. Additional fish may be collected and sacrificed (no more than 10 fish of each species) in order to validate laboratory findings.
One to two thousand viable glochidia collected from up to ten female mussels of each genus will be placed into a 5-gallon bucket with several fish of the same species. Several aeration stones will be used to suspend the glochidia throughout the water column. After the fish are exposed to the glochidia for thirty minutes, they will be placed into a 10-gallon aquarium, so that a single fish species occupies each aquarium. The bottom of each aquarium will be siphoned into a 105 micron mesh sieve every third day starting three days after the fish are exposed to the glochidia. The contents collected in the sieve will be rinsed into a petri dish and inspected for juvenile mussels under a dissecting microscope. Metamorphosed glochidia will be identified by the presence of gill buds and a ciliated foot. During the fish infestation phase of this experiment glochidia may attach to a non-host fish. However, glochidia attaching to non-host fish will usually drop off the fish within hours or several days without fully encysting on the fish. | $30,000 | 10.23% | 10/15/2010 | 09/30/2011 |
| D | 73237 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Analyze results of host fish experiments | The host fish requirements for Anodonta and Gonidea will be studied by conducting laboratory experiments. Laboratory host fish experiments will be conducted from April ’11 to July ‘11 depending on mussel reproductive timing. Laboratory host fish findings will be confirmed with field observations. The determination of glochidial release will be conducted via field observations and experiments. An additional twenty Anodonta californensis will be tagged from Wildhorse Creek and inspected for gravidity no less than once a month while weather permits. | $50,000 | 17.05% | 08/02/2011 | 09/30/2011 |
| E | 73238 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Monitor translocated mussels in 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 to continue to monitor mussels that were translocated back into the upper Umatilla River in 2007.
The specific objectives of this project are to 1) monitor the survival and growth of Margaritifera translocated into the Umatilla River in 2007, and 2) collect physical and hydrological data at the translocation site. | $25,000 | 8.52% | 08/01/2011 | 09/30/2011 |
| F | 73239 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Implementation of long-term freshwater mussel monitoring program | Long-term monitoring sites of existing mussel beds in the Middle and North Fork John Day rivers were established in 2010. This program will provide insights into current restoration efforts in the Middle Fork John Day River and their impacts on existing mussel populations.
Two sites were selected in the Middle Fork John Day River for monitoring in 2010. An additional site in Titus Creek will be added in 2011. The monitoring sites will be sampled once a year in August or September, as weather permits. The data will be analyzed based on the protocol in Strayer and Smith 2003. | $30,000 | 10.23% | 10/01/2010 | 09/30/2011 |
| G | 73240 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Characterize western freshwater mussels habitat relationships | After extensive surveys conducted in 2003 confirmed the extirpation of M. falcata from the Umatilla River (Brim Box et al. 2006), CTUIR initiated a program to restore this important resource.
To support this goal, Utah State University has begun the preliminary work towards developing a predictive model of M. falcata distribution from which mussel reintroduction and restoration efforts on the Umatilla River can be prioritized (2009-2010 USU subcontract). This model will be constructed using information on hydrologic, geologic, and biotic data available for the nearby Middle Fork John Day River, where M. falcata have well-established populations. The Middle Fork John Day River has been intensively studied by multiple researchers for decades, and the available data should be useful in making inferences about restoration of the Umatilla River. The comparability of these rivers is supported by the distributions of other mussel species (Anodonta & Gonidea), which follow similar abundance and longitudinal patterns in both systems. Information on the historical occurrence of M. falcata in the Umatilla River also supports this hypothesis (Brim Box et al. 2006).
During the 2010-2011 subcontract year, Utah State University proposes to: 1) Continue assembling existing data relative to mussel habitat in the John Day and Umatilla River systems. 2) Choose a modeling framework to characterize mussel occurrence patterns in the John Day River system and to identify optimal translocation sites for restoration of M. falcata to the Umatilla River. This model is expected to include predictive variables covering a range of abiotic factors such as geomorphic unit, valley segment width, and water temperature. Geomorphic influences on mussel distribution, particularly as it relates to human modification via mining and channelization, will be also explored. 3) Identify gaps in the existing data, relative to the modeling framework, and conduct fieldwork to fill these gaps to the extent possible. 4) Begin construction of a model designed to guide restoration efforts for M. falcata in the Umatilla River. We anticipate that model construction, validation, and application will continue into the following contract year. 5) Present the study outline and preliminary results at the Annual Meeting of the North American Benthological Society. | $45,000 | 15.34% | 10/01/2010 | 09/30/2011 |
| H | 78235 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Establish the population age structure of mussels in the Middle Fork John Day River | Dendrochronologists (tree-ring analysts) universally employ a technique known as crossdating to ensure that all growth increments in the data set have been assigned the correct calendar year of formation. By dating to the innermost increment, the year of tree recruitment can be determined as well as its exact age. Moreover, growth-increment widths may be measured to develop exactly dated chronologies to establish the effects of environmental variability on growth and recruitment, and also reconstruct past climate conditions. Indeed, tree-ring records are leading indicators of global climate variability and change. Many aquatic organisms also form annual growth increments and could be used to address analogous issues in aquatic ecosystems. In recent years these same techniques have been successfully applied to freshwater and marine bivalve and fish species to reconstruct recruitment histories, climate histories, and to evaluate the impacts of climate on growth in these aquatic ecosystems. To date, a number of crossdated growth-increment chronologies have been developed in the marine and freshwater ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest, including almost a dozen chronologies from the freshwater mussel, Margaritifera falcata. | $30,000 | 10.23% | 11/01/2010 | 08/01/2011 |
