Description
Each year, Grantee PIT tagged juveniles in October, conducted spawning ground surveys in from November through March, trapped and tagged smolts from March through July, and operated several PIT tag antenna arrays year-round. During the three monitoring seasons, total redd estimates for Coho Salmon ranged from very low (127 in 2019-20) to high (429 in 2017-18) and outmigrant smolt abundance ranged from average (17,036 in 2018) to extremely high (34,807 in 2020). Apparent overwinter survival estimates were mostly consistent with previous years between 0.30-0.35, though a record high of 0.44 was estimated in 2019-20. Grantee estimated smolt-to-adult return rates for the Coho Salmon smolt cohorts that emigrated in 2018 (1.06%) and 2019 (1.16%) which were consistent and fell within the expected range. These three seasons of work from 2017-2020 extended the monitoring period in Prairie Creek to more than a decade. All FY14 and FY15 funds were spent within their appropriate award windows.
Project Benefit
Expected benefits of the project is the estimation of overwinter survival, smolt production and ultimately marine survival. Accomplishments
