Title:

B: 157 - Steelhead spawning ground surveys

Description:

Conduct steelhead spawning ground surveys in selected streams of the Wenatchee Basin. Analyze temporal and spatial distribution of steelhead.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

Quality controlled raw data and quality controlled summarized steelhead redd counts, including sequentially numbered redds and GPS locations, will be entered and stored in Microsoft Access databases known at Automated Template Modules (ATMs) that will be provided by NOAA Fisheries by June 30, 2008. Data will be uploaded by September 30 2008 to NOAA Fisheries using the ATM and notice will be provided to BPA and Terraqua, Inc. when the data has been uploaded. The contractor will be responsible for all quality assurance/quality control steps necessary to ensure that data is properly collected and entered into the ATM.

All redds within an index area will be individually flagged, georeferenced by GPS and numbered sequentially. A final survey will be conducted of the entire reach(es) at the end or after peak spawning if poor water conditions are expected. All redds in each reach will be counted. Marking redds is not required during the final survey. A different surveyor should survey within the index area and count only redds that are visible. An index expansion factor (IF) will be calculated by dividing the number of visible redds in the index by the total number of redds in the index area. The reach total (RT) will be calculated by expanding the redds in the non-index area by the proportion of visible redds in the index (i.e., index expansion factor) and adding the total number of redds found in the index area. An estimate of the total number of redds (TR) in the tributary will be calculated by summing the reach totals. The number of redds determined by probabilistic sampling for those tributaries within the subbasin would be added to the total number of redds to estimate the spawner escapement and egg deposition.
