Title:
H: 122 - Review of NOAA Fisheries' Draft ESA Analyses
Description:
A. Technical Recovery Team Draft Products
NOAA Fisheries may request the ISAB to review draft products of TRTs addressing Columbia River salmon listings. The TRTs are multi-agency technical workgroups lead by NOAA-Fisheries. Staff of the Northwest or Southwest Fisheries Science Center chair each of the TRTs. The initial task of all of the TRTs is to determine preliminary biological criteria necessary to ensure the viability of Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) listed under the Endangered Species Act and then to help develop and evaluate various options for meeting these criteria (for general information on recovery planning see www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/trt/index.html).

In FY 2004, at NOAA Fisheries' request, the ISAB reviewed a TRT draft document titled Independent Populations of Chinook, Steelhead, and Sockeye for Listed Evolutionarily Significant Units Within the Interior Columbia River Domain, which was produced by the Interior Columbia River Technical Recovery Team. For FY 2005, NOAA Fisheries is likely to request that the ISAB review additional Columbia River TRT documents. The anticipated ISAB budget to participate in reviews of TRT drafts is $20,000.

B. Scientific Issues related to the evaluation of extinction risk of complex taxa
NOAA-Fisheries is currently dealing with two interesting and potentially controversial scientific problems. The first relates to how to biologically evaluate the contribution that hatchery fish make toward an ESU's viability. This topic is particularly important due to NOAA-Fisheries' Proposed Policy on evaluating hatchery fish in ESA listing decisions, which was released for public comment in June, 2004. The second issue relates to how to evaluate the viability of Oncorhynchus mykiss ESUs that contain both resident and anadromous populations. Some of the O. mykiss ESUs identified by NOAA-Fisheries as threatened or endangered under the ESA also contain resident components that were not listed. NOAA Fisheries may seek the ISAB's advice on how to evaluate the contribution to viability made by resident populations. These reviews would likely follow completion of the ISAB's Harvest Report and begin in January 2005.
