200755100 - Use of a novel technique to compare of Pre-and Post-migratory energy storage and use in upriver coho salmon: How much change can can occur with intense selective pressure.
Sponsor: Yakama Nation
Short description: We intent to compare changes in energy allocation between the developing Wenatchee River coho population to data collected from the previous generation and the founding population.
Location: Mainstem/Systemwide province, subbasin
Budgets: FY08: $29,012 | FY09: $20,233
Primary species:
Anadromous: Coho: Unspecified Population
Objectives
| Objective | Description | Subbasin plan | Strategies |
| Measure energy storage and use in migrating salmon | Measure pre- and post-migratory lipid levels to detemine how the extended migration has affected the developing upriver population of coho salmon in respect to energy storage prior to migration and the use of that energy during an extended migration. | Wenatchee | The proposed study supports research which is consistent with the vision and goals of both the Wenatchee and Methow subbasin plans. The vision for the Wenatchee Subbasin includes restoring extirpated fish and wildlife. |
| Measure mophological traits in treatment groups | Determine whether morphology of the developing upriver coho population is changing in response to the extended migration in two generations of coho returning to the Wenatchee Basin and a control group. | Wenatchee | The proposed study supports research which is consistent with the vision and goals of both the Wenatchee and Methow subbasin plans. The vision for the Wenatchee Subbasin includes restoring extirpated fish and wildlife. |
| Measure ovarian mass, egg weights, and fecundity | Determine the effects of a constrained energy budget on ovary mass, individula egg weights, and fecundity in two generations of Wenatchee River coho and a control group. | Wenatchee | The proposed study supports research which is consistent with the vision and goals of both the Wenatchee and Methow subbasin plans. The vision for the Wenatchee Subbasin includes restoring extirpated fish and wildlife. |
