Description

This project would formalized the sampling frequency and number of samples to ensure managers have the necessary information to make these flow decisions. Starting in August crews collected random samples of 10 gill arches per day 5 days per week through mid-September. These data was tabulated and provided to the FAR’s group at the weekly calls.

Project Benefit

Project Objective: The 2017 Record of Decision allows increased flows from Trinity Reservoir to mitigate hazardous conditions in the Lower Klamath River. This project would quantify Ich trophonts in the gills of salmon to see if the trigger for additional releases were met. Project Benefits: Accurate information through the management window will ensure informed flow decisions are being made. This flow action has been instrumental in preventing a repeat of the fish kill of 2002. Given the dry hydrologic conditions of this water year having good real time information will be critical.

Priority Two – Restoration effectiveness monitoring at the watershed scale for Southern Oregon Northern California Coho Salmon and other fish species important to the exercise of federally-recognized tribal fishing rights (SONCC Recovery Actions Addressed: SONCC-LTR.27.1.22.1
