Description
This Project is Complete. Five objectives were met:
Objective 1. Determined If Program Targets for Contribution Rate of Hatchery Fish Are Being Achieved and Can Be Improved. Subgroups of the hatchery production were marked for estimating survival and performance, mark groups included: Coded-Wire Tag (CWT) only, CWT-adipose fin clip, and Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag.
Objective 2. Determined the Increases in Natural Production That Results from Supplementation of Coho Salmon in the Clearwater River Subbasin, and Related Them to Limiting Factors. In order to determine the relative magnitude and timing of migration over the 2002 migratory year, rotary screw traps were used near the mouth of Meadow Creek (Selway River) and Lolo Creek.
Objective 3. Monitored genetic profile of introduced coho salmon stock. Tissue samples were taken from returning coho salmon. Samples are currently being archived until funding is secured to run the necessary genetic analysis.
Objective 4. Monitored ecological interactions. The emigration timing of PIT tagged coho salmon parr and smolts were determined to describe the overlap with juvenile fall chinook rearing in the lower Clearwater River. Sampling for this activity was conducted under objective 1 and data was coordinated with the NPT hatchery M&E project and the NPT fall chinook project.
Objective 5. Effectively communicated monitoring and evaluation program approach and findings to resource managers. The NPT provided data summaries of fish population status and select environmental and habitat conditions (adult escapement, juvenile density, stream temperature) to StreamNet on an annual basis.
Project Benefit
Restore coho to sufficient numbers in the Clearwater River and have a framework that can be utilized to adaptively manage the Clearwater River coho salmon supplementation program.
