Title:

C: 157 - Electrofishing to collect bull trout below Albeni Falls Dam

Description:

EWU and KNRD crews will conduct electrofishing surveys from Indian Creek (14 km below Albeni Falls Dam) to the tailrace of Albeni Falls Dam to collect bull trout. A total of 15 days of effort will be expended annually. Most of the effort will be focused in the spring around the peak of the hydrograph before water temperatures reach 18 degree Celsius. Catch rates tend to be highest during this period. Electrofishing surveys will be conducted using standardized 10 minute transects that survey approximately 0.4 km of shoreline. Additional sampling may be conducted at know cold-water refugia downstream of AFD during summer where adult Bull Trout are know to congregate.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

EWU will provide an annual summary of fish captured electrofishing that will be included as an appendix in the annual report to BPA. The report will contain: (1) A table of fish captured; (2) A table that provides statistics for bull trout [Date captured, PIT tag number, TL (mm), FL (mm), weight (g), result of genetic assignment]; and (3) A written summary of electrofishing operations.

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	5/1/2019	4/30/2020	Concluded	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	2/20/2019 3:31:34 PM
		Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff.
B	PUBPROTOCOL	Review, revise, and publish Protocol and Methods in MonitoringResources.org	5/1/2019	4/30/2020	Active	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	2/20/2019 3:31:34 PM
		Description: The Protocol (including temporal and spatial design) and Methods for this work element are stored at MonitoringResources.org and need to be finalized (i.e., "Published" through MonitoringResources.org), preferably prior to data collection. Preparations for contract renewals must include reviewing any previously published Protocols/Methods to ensure that they are consistent with how work will be done in any subsequent contract.
C		Spring electrofishing	5/1/2019	4/30/2020	Active	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	3/5/2019 10:21:41 AM
		Description: EWU and KNRD crews will conduct electrofishing surveys from Indian Creek (14 km below Albeni Falls) to the tailrace of Albeni Falls Dam to collect bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout. A total of 15 days of effort will be expended. Most effort will be expended in the spring before water temperatures rise above 16 degree Celsius. PNNL biologists will assist as needed.
D		Fall electrofishing	9/1/2019	10/31/2019	Concluded	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	3/5/2019 10:21:41 AM
		Description: EWU and KNRD crews will conduct weekly electrofishing surveys from Indian Creek (14 km below Albeni Falls) to the tailrace of Albeni Falls Dam to collect bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout. A total of 15 days of effort will be expended annually, effort will be expended in the fall once river temperatures fall below 16 C.
E		Summer cold-water refugia electrofishing	7/1/2019	9/13/2019	Concluded	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	3/5/2019 10:26:42 AM
		Description: EWU and KNRD crews will conduct electrofishing surveys at known cold-water refugia between Indian Creek (14 km below Albeni Falls) and Albeni Falls Dam to collect bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout. A total of 15 days of effort will be expended. Most effort will be expended in the spring before water temperatures rise above 16 degree Celsius. PNNL biologists will assist as needed.
F	Upload	Yearly upload of error-checked datasets	5/1/2019	4/30/2020	Concluded	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	3/5/2019 10:26:42 AM
		Description: Upload datasets with associated metadata to a publicly accessible site each year as soon as they have been QA/QC checked. This generally happens within 6 months for direct field-to-database input, but may be longer if laboratory analysis is required (e.g., scale reading or genetic analyses). If data is not QA/QCed within 1 year, data must be made accessible with acknowledgement of QA/QC limitations. Periods for dataset collection should be no longer than a year, and coincide with the logical biology of the data collection, which may not be on a calendar year. Example of a dataset: redd counts for one species for one season for a particular brood year. Dataset upload requirements apply to both original and derived data, which should be at a level of quality suitable for release to resource co-managers to make decisions – not the rigor required as if you were going to use the data for a peer-reviewed publication.
G	BackUp	Secure data back-up	5/1/2019	4/30/2020	Concluded	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	3/5/2019 10:26:42 AM
		Description: Minimum requirements: Hard copies of field sheets and original dataloggers secured against fire and flood. At least daily data back-up of electronic data on a separate hard drive. Secure cloud-based or off-site location data back-up to preclude catastrophic data loss at least weekly. More frequent cloud/off-site back-up is greatly encouraged. [Timing guidance: from beginning to end of contract]
H	DELIV	Bull Trout Collection below Albeni Falls Dam by boat electrofishing		4/30/2020	Concluded	Timothy Ludington (Inactive)	3/5/2019 10:26:42 AM
		Description: EWU will provide an annual summary of fish captured electrofishing that will be included as an appendix in the annual report to BPA. The report will contain: (1) A table of fish captured; (2) A table that provides statistics for bull trout [Date captured, PIT tag number, TL (mm), FL (mm), weight (g), result of genetic assignment]; and (3) A written summary of electrofishing operations.
