Regional Back Ground
***************************

Project 199102900 began in 1991 to provide some of the first biological data on the contemporary population of fall Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Snake River basin that was eventually listed in 1992 under the Endangered Species Act as the Snake River fall Chinook salmon evolutionary significant unit (ESU). Up until 2018, the project was implemented cooperatively by staff of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. In 2018, the USGS assumed primary sponsorship of the project. As in past years, the project continue to complement and be coordinated with existing Snake River fall Chinook salmon ESU projects including staff of Idaho Power Company, the Nez Perce Tribe Department of Fisheries Resources Management, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, University of Idaho, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Or... egon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

This project provides information that contributes to evaluating the effectiveness of recovery measures outlined in the 2020 Biological Opinion for the Columbia River System. Specifically, this project developed the only Snake River fall Chinook life-cycle model that was used to evaluate various operational scenarios for the 2020 BiOp. This model uses passage data collected on PIT tagged natural subyearlings and this project is the only project tagging natural-origin juveniles in the Snake River. It also uses abundance data on adult spawners that this helps collect. Collectively, the data and model are critical in monitoring the population's progress toward reaching recovery metrics specified in the Snake River Fall Chinook Recover Plan. Methods to estimate the annual abundance of juvenile fall Chinook passing Lower Granite Dam continues to be refined as well as life-cycle model development that includes covariates that effect the population of fall Chinook salmon.

We will also summarize historical data and collect new data to make progress towards answering two questions posed in the Snake River Fall Chinook Recovery Plan: (1) is the ESU abundant, diverse, productive, and spatially distributed; and (2) is the ESU responding to implemented actions as anticipated?  We recast these two questions as regional objectives: (1) increase the abundance, productivity, and spawning distribution of natural origin adults, and (2) increase the abundance and diversity of natural-origin subyearlings during early freshwater rearing and migration.  The success criteria for regional objective 1 will be: (1) an increased understanding of the anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors that influenced historical and contemporary trends in adult abundance that will lead to measures implemented to meet delisting criteria of 3,000 natural-origin spawners (measured as a 10-year geometric mean), (2) an increased understanding of how varying influential anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors might facilitate meeting the minimum viability threshold of 1% risk of quasi-extinction, and (3) documentation of the status of escapement of natural-origin adults to the spawning areas relative to the explicit population level spatial structure criteria, and (4) support for expanded life-cycle and passage modeling.  The success criteria for objective 2 will be: (1) estimates of passage abundance for natural-origin fall Chinook salmon subyearlings at Lower Granite Dam during the spring, summer, and fall, (2) an increased understanding of the anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors that influence trends in passage abundance, (3) an increased understanding of how varying influential anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors might increase passage abundance of natural-origin fall Chinook salmon subyearlings, (4) an increased understanding of the effect of predation in riverine habitat on passage abundance of natural-origin fall Chinook salmon subyearlings, and (5) support for expanded life-cycle and passage models.

We will accomplish the regional objectives by accomplishing several scientific objectives each of which will produce final deliverables including models to support the AMIP process.


**********************************************
Regional Objective 1 Final Deliverables
**********************************************

Final deliverable 1A will be a set of models that provide a historical retrospective of adult abundance and spawning distribution that will rely on adult counts made without distinction of adult origin, but with redd counts made throughout the Snake River basin from 1947 to 2023. These models will accomplish the following scientific objectives: (1) produce counts of adult spawners that will be used to determine if numerical trends in spawners is moving toward the recovery goal of 3000 natural-origin adults in the Snake River, (2) produce annual counts and locations of redds to determine if redds are spatially distributed throughout the contemporary spawning area; (3) produce correlations between adult and redd counts to determine if redd counts can accurately and precisely predict adult counts to gage meeting recovery criteria of 3000 natural-origin spawners in the Snake River, and (4) identify the anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors that influence adult counts. In 2023, we will add to our existing adult data set to address these objectives. The models and continued analysis of adult productivity through empirical data collection and life-cycle modeling will help complete regional objective 1 success criterion 1.

Final deliverable 1B will be a second set of models that help to explain and predict increases in the abundance, productivity, and spawning distribution of natural origin adults by focusing on estimated counts of natural-origin adults at Lower Granite Dam from run construction and on redd counts made upstream of Lower Granite Reservoir after 1982 (or as early as possible depending on data availability).  It will accomplish the following scientific objectives: (1) increase the understanding of how the numerical trends in the estimated counts of natural-origin adults during 1983–2023 were influenced by anthropogenic, biological, and environmental change, (2) predict how varying influential anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors might affect the status of natural-origin adults relative to the minimum viability threshold, and (3) predict the status of escapement of natural-origin adults to the spawning areas relative to the explicit population level spatial structure criteria.  

One of the recovery measures recently implemented for the Snake River fall Chinook salmon population was the creation of a natural production area in the upper reach of Hells Canyon above Pittsburg Landing. The intent of this action is to create a stronghold for natural-origin adults in this area. In 2018, hatchery supplementation releases were moved from Hells Canyon Dam to the Salmon River. With less hatchery influence, the area is expected to see an increase in natural-origin fish. Over time, population metrics (e.g., catch, timing of fry and parr presence, growth) of juvenile fall Chinook in Hells Canyon will be compared to these same metrics from the population of juvenile fall Chinook that are produced and rear in the Salmon River. The Hells Canyon population will serve as a control or baseline against which the growth of the Salmon River population can be compared. The proportions of hatchery and natural-origin spawners will be measured annually to determine the efficacy of ending hatchery supplementation releases in Hells Canyon. This is an important metric for NOAA Fisheries to gauge the effectiveness of this action.

**********************************************
Regional Objective 2 Final Deliverables
**********************************************

Final deliverable 2A will be set of models that help to explain and predict variation in passage abundance of natural-origin subyearlings at Lower Granite dam during 1992–2023. The scientific objectives will be to: (1) produce annual estimates of passage abundance of natural-origin fall Chinook salmon subyearlings estimated by reconstructing the run in order to examine annual trends in abundance; (2) compare annual passage timing distributions calculated using different methods, (3) Identify the anthropogenic, biological, and environmental changes that influence the numerical trends in juvenile passage abundance, (4) produce life-cycle modeling results using data from scientific objectives 1 and 2 to predict how varying influential anthropogenic, biological, and environmental factors might increase abundance of natural-origin fall Chinook salmon subyearlings. To date, a peer-reviewed journal article has been published detailing a state-space model to determine collection probability of juvenile fish at Lower Granite Dam (Hance et al. 2019). A draft manuscript on estimating juvenile fall Chinook abundance at Lower Granite Dam is currently in its final stage of editing before submission to a journal. Expected publication is late 2023.

To accomplish this objective, project staff will continue annual PIT tagging efforts in the Snake River. In addition, we began PIT tagging fall Chinook in the Salmon River starting in 2021 and this will continue in 2023 to evaluate the effectiveness of the relocated Hells Canyon supplementation releases to the Salmon River. Over time, population metrics (e.g., catch, timing of fry and parr presence, growth) of juvenile fall Chinook in the Salmon River will be compared to these same metrics from the population of juvenile fall Chinook that are produced and rear in Hells Canyon. The Hells Canyon population will serve as a control or baseline against which the growth of the Salmon River population can be compared. This will be an important monitoring activity because it is closely related to the effectiveness of the natural production area in Hells Canyon.

*********************************************
Monitoring Total Dissolved Gas Effects
*********************************************

The regional variable spill program implemented in 2020 increases the total dissolved gas (TDG) cap from 120 to 125%. Under the 2020 Biological Opinion for the Columbia River System, BPA is required to monitor the effects of increased TDG on native resident fishes. This will be a new task for project 199102900 that began in FY21 and will continue through FY2024. The tailrace areas of four projects (Bonneville, McNary, Ice Harbor, and Lower Granite) will be sampled for resident fish during the spring spill season (April through June). Fish will be examined for gas bubble trauma (GBT) using regional protocols and weekly reports will be provided. Sampling will continue in 2023 based on lessons learned in 2021 and 2022.

B228033162Analyze/Interpret DataSnake River fall Chinook life-cycle modelingIn fiscal year 2023, we will continue development of the two-stage state-space life-cycle model for naturally produced Snake River Basin fall Chinook salmon. Specifically, in the life-cycle model we'll be switching over to using estimates of marked and unmarked fish in the Lower Granite Dam adult trap from the STADEM model that was modified in FY20. This will allow us to use empirical trap data to estimate the number of natural and hatchery-origin adults passing the dam, which is input as the adult escapement in the model. Accomplishments to date include: 1) Building the base life-cycle model for juvenile and adult abundance at Lower Granite Dam, 2) Developing new estimates of subyearling and yearling juvenile abundance at Lower Granite Dam, and 3) Fitting the model to LGR abundance data to estimate juvenile and adult productivity and capacity parameters. This base model is beginning to be used to evaluate management actions, such as proposed harvest control rules upstream of Lower Granite Dam. It was used extensively to inform the the Snake River fall Chinook portion of the 2020 NMFS Biological Opinion. Specifically, future tasks include 1) improving uncertainty estimates for adult escapement for inclusion in the life-cycle model, 2) exploring covariates that affect juvenile productivity, 3) representing separate spawning aggregations in the model (Clearwater, Upper Hells Canyon, Lower Hells Canyon), 4) modeling effect of hydrosystem covariates on juvenile survival, and 5) running simulation scenarios to inform management actions such as hatchery, hydro, and harvest actions. This is the only project in the basin that is developing a life-cycle model for Snake River fall Chinook salmon.$165,00010.12%04/01/202303/31/2024
C228036157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataBeach seine wild fall Chinook salmon subyearlings in 2023/2024Beach seine wild subyearling fall Chinook salmon subyearlings to provide a source of in-season data for river management as well as long-term data for evaluating natural fish viability metrics in the draft recovery plan. As in past years, we will beach seine our 15 systematic sites in Hells Canyon weekly from late March to early July. In an effort to increase our samples sizes of tagged fish and their detection at downstream dams. In FY23, we will continue to seine and PIT tag juvenile fall Chinook salmon in the Salmon River. In 2018, hatchery releases at Hells Canyon were moved to the Salmon River in an effort to create a natural production area in the upper reach of Hells Canyon and to supplement the natural population in the Salmon River. In 2022, 4-year old adults returned to the Salmon River and will produce natural-origin offspring. We will establish beach seine sites in the Salmon River similar to our approach in the Snake River. One day per week from May through June will be allocated to seine, PIT tag, and monitor the juvenile population as we do for the Snake River. This will allow us to compare juvenile population metrics currently being collected by this project in the Snake River and in the Clearwater River by the Nez Perce Tribe.$200,00012.27%04/01/202303/31/2024
D228037157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataCollect genetics samples from seined fishGenetic samples will be collected from fish to confirm the origin of fish we are PIT tagging. Each week we try to collect 10 samples from fish >65 mm, 5 samples from fish 50-64 mm, and 5 samples from fish <50 mm. In 2023, we will sample fish collected in the Salmon River to monitor the population in that river. We will collect genetic samples from Salmon River fish in the same length classes as above. In 2023, all samples will be analyzed by IDFG's Eagle Creek Genetics Lab to determine the race of each fish (i.e., spring/summer or fall).

I228042157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataCollect fall Chinook prey dataHarmful algae blooms (HABs) are becoming more common in Lower Granite Reservoir during late summer. This is a time when many subyearling fall Chinook salmon from the Clearwater River are delaying their seaward migration in the reservoir. The algal species in these blooms typically contain those that produce toxins that are are harmful to humans and terrestrial animals. Although it is believed that HABs do not pose a direct threat to fish, they may indirectly affect them by reducing the prey populations they feed on, depleting oxygen when the algae dies, and affecting fish behavior. In 2021 and 2022, we observed a large algal bloom in the lower half of Lower Granite Reservoir that extended about 15-20 feet down into the water column. The three dominant species were Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Microcystis wesenbergii, and Limnoraphis. Interestingly, little to no algae bloom was observed in Little Goose Reservoir. We hypothesize that HABs may reduce subyearling fall Chinook salmon foraging ability due to reduced visibility and darkness below the algae layer. It also may reduce cladocean zooplankton abundance because the algae interferes with zooplankton foraging on phytoplankton. Because subyearlings feed on cladocean zooplankton during the summer in Lower Granite Reservoir, HABs may reduce this prey source for fish. We will sample zooplankton and subyearling diets during late summer in both Lower Granite and Little Goose reservoirs during a HABs bloom to determine differences in the abundance of zooplankton available to subyearling fall Chinook salmon and if dietary differences exist.$45,0002.76%04/01/202303/31/2024
J228043162Analyze/Interpret DataAnalyze prey dataZooplankton samples collected under WE I will have major taxa identified and counted, and counts will be expressed as density per unit volume (zooplankton) or density per unit area (surface). Prey densities will be graphically compared between reservoirs and reservoir locations and seasonal trends examined. Prey in stomach samples will be identified to the lowest practical taxon, counted, blotted, and weighed wet. Proportions (by weight) and frequency of occurrence (by number) for major taxa will be calculated for each sampling event and area. These metrics will be graphically compared between reservoirs and reservoir locations and seasonal trends examined.$65,0003.99%04/01/202303/31/2024
K228044162Analyze/Interpret DataAnalyze stable isotope dataBoth fish and invertebrate prey were collected during 2021 to better understand the resources that contribute to Snake River juvenile fall Chinook salmon growth in riverine and reservoir habitats. These data will be analyzed for stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to infer trophic relationships between juvenile salmon and their prey and other competitor fishes in both habitat types. The results will help explain growth differences between the two major rearing habitat types. Samples will be analyzed by the UC Davis stable isotope facility. This task was intended to be completed during FY22, but in case it doesn't, it will be completed in FY23.$10,0000.61%04/01/202303/31/2024
L228045157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataDeepwater redd surveysWe will conduct underwater surveys for deepwater fall Chinook salmon redds in the Snake River upstream of Lower Granite Reservoir in cooperation with the Idaho Power Company and the Nez Perce Tribe to provide a source of in-season data as well as data for evaluating the spatial distribution criteria under the Snake River Fall Chinook recovery plan. Deepwater redd surveys will continue to be conducted cooperatively with USGS and IPC as in the past. 25 known spawning sites will be surveyed by searching established transects with an underwater video camera. Each site will be surveyed once near, and following, the peak of spawning (mid to late November).$150,0009.20%04/01/202303/31/2024

N228047157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataCollect carcassesIt is currently estimated that about 70% of the adult fall Chinook salmon passing Lower Granite Dam each year are of hatchery origin. Thus, it is assumed that 70% of fish spawning in the Snake River are hatchery origin as well, but this has not been confirmed. The use of parentage-based tagging allows the origin of returning adults to be determined but requires a tissue sample. In this work element, we will collected fall Chinook salmon carcasses throughout Hells Canyon and throughout the spawning season to collect tissue and other biological measurements to ultimately determine the percentage of natural and hatchery-origin spawners on the spawning grounds. This information is important to determining progress toward meeting NOAA's percentage of hatchery-origin spawners (PHOS) on the spawning grounds of about 15% for Snake River fall Chinook salmon. Carcass tissue samples will be analyzed by the Idaho Power Company. Guidance for use of Small Unmanned Aircraft (UAS) for this work element: To operate the controls of a small UAS, a remote pilot shall have an airman certificate with a small UAS rating, or be under the direct supervision of a person who holds such a certificate and ensures the UAS provider does not have any open FAA actions against it. Visual line-of-sight (VLOS) only; the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS of the remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS. The small UAS operator manipulating the controls of a drone should always avoid manned aircraft and never operate in a careless or reckless manner. Daylight-only operations, or civil twilight (30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset, local time) with appropriate anti-collision lighting. BPA strongly encourages all UAS pilots to check local and state laws before gathering information through remote sensing technology or photography with regard to privacy issues. Ensure that you have prior approval before entering private property during the course of the flight. Drone shall be available to BPA for inspection or testing on request, and provide any associated records. Report to the BPA within 10 days any operation that results in serious injury, loss of consciousness, or property damage (to property other than the UAS) of at least $500.$75,0004.60%04/01/202303/31/2024
