Title:

B: 157 - Steelhead Spawner Surveys

Description:

Conduct steelhead spawning ground surveys to estimate steelhead escapement for a single population in the John Day River basin.

Adult steelhead redd surveys will be conducted from March 1 - June 25 annually based on standard ODFW methods for conducting steelhead redd surveys (Susac and Jacobs, 1999; Jacobs et al., 2000; Jacobs et al., 2001). Twenty to thirty sites will be selected and are visited every two weeks throughout the season to quantify the cumulative redd count at each site. Surveyors will sample upstream from the downstream end of each survey reach. Each surveyor counts live fish and determines the fin-mark status of all live fish through observations. All redds are counted and flagged. A representative subsample reach will be visited at a greater frequency to validate bi-weekly redd enumeration. Redds with spawners present will also be measured to develop a database of redd size for each life history strategy.

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	10/1/2013	2/14/2014	Concluded	James Ruzycki	8/19/2013 4:58:36 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 (completion can be based on pre-existing environmental documentation from BPA).
B	PUBPROTOCOL	Review, revise, and Publish protocol, study design, and methods in monitoringmethods.org	11/1/2013	1/31/2014	Concluded	James Ruzycki	8/19/2013 4:58:36 PM
		Description: The Protocol (including temporal and spatial design) and Methods for this work element are stored at monitoringmethods.org and need to be finalized (i.e., "Published" through monitoringmethods.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		Refine Geographic Database	10/5/2013	12/31/2013	Concluded	James Ruzycki	8/19/2013 5:00:59 PM
		Description: Georeference locations in GIS format of all observed redds.
D		Conduct Surveys of Stream Reaches	2/25/2014	6/28/2014	Concluded	Jamie Cleveland (Inactive)	9/20/2013 12:11:07 PM
		Description: Conduct up to 30, 2-km surveys of steelhead redds and spawners drawn from one steelhead population distribution using probabalistic sampling design. The final number of sites will be determined by logistical constraints including travel distance and remoteness of access points.
