Contract Description:
This contract funds long-term smolt monitoring activities and continued implementation of pHOS surveys for the ESA-listed Umatilla River steelhead population.  Smolt monitoring activities include the capture, counting, examination, and PIT tagging of steelhead smolts.  Data collected are used to characterize life history metrics, including size, age, condition, and timing of seaward moving juvenile steelhead.  Key performance metrics; including smolt abundance and survival, and high level indicators; including smolt-to-adult return, egg-to-smolt survival, and smolts-per-spawner are calculated and tracked through time.  pHOS surveys provide a direct measure of the proportion of natural spawners that are of hatchery origin and is an important measure of population diversity in a supplemented system.  Work conducted under this contract provides important population-level survival, productivity, and life his... tory information that is necessary to better understand the relationships between habitat conditions, hatchery programs, and the production of smolts within the Umatilla River.  Managers use the information to judge success of habitat enhancement and hatchery reform.

C227442157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataBirch Creek juvenile natural summer steelhead out-migrant trappingOut-migrating juvenile steelhead are captured in Birch Creek using a rotary screw trap or inclined plan screen trap. Birch Creek is a major steelhead producing tributary in the Umatilla River and managed as a wild fish sanctuary. Juvenile steelhead typically exit Birch Creek between December and June, with the majority leaving in early May. The small stream size and large population size result in ample capture of juveniles for PIT-tagging and abundance estimates that typically meet recommend data precision standards.$57,52910.47%11/01/202110/31/2022

PIT-tag 1,000 hatchery summer steelhead at Three Mile Falls Dam to assess the feasibility of using them as a surrogate to estimate trap efficiency for natural summer steelhead.

Fish and Wildlife Program RM&E strategies supported by this work element include assessment of the status and trend of juvenile abundance and productivity of natural origin fish populations and diversity of natural and hatchery origin fish populations. The status and trend data is also used to facilitate assessment of the Umatilla Basin Fisheries Restoration Program and support of tracking of steelhead recovery.$88,88816.18%12/15/202110/31/2022

I227448157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataThree Mile Falls Dam natural summer steelhead smolt trappingSmolt outmigration estimates are necessary to separate the freshwater and ocean portions of anadromous salmonid life history. Estimates of outmigrant abundance allow evaluation of trends in habitat productivity, without the masking influence of Columbia River migratory and ocean survival conditions. Outmigrant estimates also allow estimates of freshwater survival (e.g. egg to smolt survival) and productivity (e.g. smolts/adult or smolts/redd) when combined with additional monitoring efforts. Smolt trapping will be conducted at Three Mile Falls Dam to determine annual smolt yield and document inter-annual variation in life history characteristics (i.e. emigration timing & size) for the Middle Columbia River DPS Umatilla River steelhead MPG.$133,95624.39%11/01/202110/31/2022
