Response for project 199009300: Genetic Analyses Of Oncorhynch
Comment on proposed FY 2006 budget
The University of Idaho would like funding continued during FY 2006 for Project 199009300. The proposed FY2006 budget of $98,000 is consistent with Bonneville's approved budget and will cover all proposed costs.
Accomplishments since the last review
| Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Sample and genetically analyze spawning adult sockeye salmon and produce a spawning matrix for inbreeding avoidance. Sample and genetically analyze outmigrant sockeye salmon with microsatellites. |
2003 - produced spawning matrices (using microsatellite data) for all spawned sockeye salmon under the Redfish Lake captive broodstock program. Produced parentage analysis for all sampled outmigrants from the captive broodstock program. Produced genetic analyses for ongoing chinook salmon captive rearing program. 2004 - produced spawning matrices (using microsatellite data) for all spawned sockeye salmon under the Redfish Lake captive broodstock program. Produced parentage analysis for all sampled outmigrants from the captive broodstock program. Produced genetic analyses for ongoing chinook salmon captive rearing program. Produced the completion report for mitochondrial analyses entitled: Genetic analyses of Redfish Lake sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). 2005 - complete spawning matrices (using microsatellite data) for all spawned sockeye salmon under the Redfish Lake captive broodstock program. Produce parentage analysis for all sampled outmigrants from the captive broodstock program. Produce genetic analyses for ongoing chinook salmon captive rearing program. Produced Master of Science Thesis entitled: Utilizing parental analyses to evaluate smolt production from the Snake River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)captive broodstock program.
FY 2006 goals and anticipated accomplishments
| Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Genetically analyze spawning adult sockeye salmon from Redfish Lake and produce a spawning matrix for the captive broodstock program. |
Subbasin planning
How is this project consistent with subbasin plans?
This project, though not in the Salmon subbasin, is consistent with and directly supports the IDFG and NOAA-fisheries projects #199107200, 199700100 and 199204000 on captive broodstock programs for Redfish Lake sockeye and chinook salmon captive rearing, which are consistent with the R, M and E relative to artificial propagation projects as listed in the Salmon Subbasion Plan on page 122 Item #2: refine genetic preservation techniques in conservation hatchery and conventional hatchery programs, captive broodstock programs and cryopreservation programs. Item #5 Monitor and evaluate artificial propagation programs to describe program effectiveness of ongoing mitigation and conservation hatchery programs. Additonally this program is consistent with Section 5.1 Endangered Species Act Considerations (Page 139 and specifically sockeye salmon section 5.1.2.3 page 142)
How do goals match subbasin plan priorities?
This program directly supports the IDFG and NOAA-Fisheries projects #199107200, 199700100 and 199204000 for the aritficial propagation of Endangered Redfish Lake sockeye salmon and Threatened Salmon River chinook salmon captive rearing projects. Thus, priority for the support provided by this project may be referenced in Section 5.1 Endangered Species Act Considerations (Page 139 and specifically sockeye salmon section 5.1.2.3 page 142).
Other comments
As stated above, this is a systemwide project. However, this project directly supports captive rearing and captive broodstock projects in the Salmon subbasin. Thus, the Salmon subbasin plan was referenced above with regard to consistency and priorities.
