Description

Abstract: We are conducting an ongoing comprehensive evaluation program for LSRCP activities in Oregon that address the following general guidelines: 1. Develop and evaluate operational procedures which will meet recovery and compensation goals as well as management objectives by priority. 2. Monitor operational practices to document hatchery production capabilities and challenges. 3. Monitor fish-rearing activities and results to document accomplishment of goals. 4. Coordinate research and management programs with hatchery capabilities. 5. Recommend hatchery production strategies that are consistent with endangered species recovery efforts. 6. Develop knowledge and information to guide recovery actions and to monitor recovery in the Grande Ronde and Imnaha river basins. A long-term evaluation and monitoring process is envisioned for the duration of operation of the hatcheries to develop and maintain fish runs that meet recovery and compensation goals at minimum costs. This document is a contract performance report for the period 1 October 2013- 30 September 2014. This is not an Annual Progress Report, rather a brief report on statement of work task specific accomplishments. Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) ODFW- Eastern Oregon Fish Research (EOFR)

Purpose: The goals of these studies are: 1) to evaluate the success of achieving Lower Snake River Compensation Plan objectives, 2) develop and recommend hatchery practices for LSRCP hatchery production facilities in Oregon that will meet compensation requirements and management objectives for the production of spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead lost as a result of construction of the Lower Snake River dams, and 3) provide natural production and life history information to assist in recovery and monitoring of threatened salmonids in northeast Oregon.
