Title:

I: 157 - Three Mile Falls Dam natural summer steelhead smolt trapping

Description:

Smolt 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.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

Captured fish are be identified by species, race, and origin and biological data (length, weight, condition, and health) collected from natural summer steelhead. Fish are examined for marks and tags and unmarked natural summer steelhead are PIT tagged. All trap catch data is entered into the P4 software program and an Access database.

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	11/1/2021	11/29/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		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 finalize study plan sample design protocol and methods in MonitoringResouces.org	12/15/2021	12/31/2021	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		Description: The Study Plan's Sample Design, Protocol and Methods for this work element are stored at MonitoringResources.org and need to be completed (i.e., "Finalized" through MonitoringResources.org), preferably prior to data collection. Preparations for contract renewals must include reviewing any previously finalized Sample Designs, Protocols & Methods to ensure that they are consistent with how work will be done in any subsequent contract.
C	VALLOC	NOT required at this time - Validate Locations in Sample Design	7/1/2022	10/31/2022	Canceled	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		Description: NOT required at this time - Upon completion of field or lab work, go to the sample design in monitoringresources.org and validate the actual locations sampled for the field season or lab assessment for the contract period.
D		Install, operate, and maintain incline plane trap	3/1/2022	6/30/2022	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		Description: Trapping of downstream migrant salmonids will be conducted at Three Mile Falls Dam using the West Extension Canal's juvenile sampling facility between March and June. These are generalized operational periods that vary from year to year depending upon canal operations, environmental conditions, and trap catch.
E		Submit PIT tag data	3/1/2022	10/31/2022	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		Description: Upload data from PIT tagged and recaptured fish to PTAGIS.
F		Validate field data	7/1/2022	10/31/2022	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		Description: Post-season review and summarization of raw field data.
G	DELIV	Smolt trapping dataset and metadata		10/31/2022	Concluded	Matthew Schwartz	4/25/2022 10:54:54 AM
		Description: Captured fish are be identified by species, race, and origin and biological data (length, weight, condition, and health) collected from natural summer steelhead.
