The Bureau of Reclamation is offering this grant to fund a study aimed at understanding Delta Smelt ecology and improving predictions of management action impacts on this endangered species and its habitat. This grant is for research that will determine the timing of Delta Smelt movement to low-salinity zones and the relative proportion of freshwater resident fish comprising the Spring Kodiak Trawl Survey. Key objectives also include quantifying individual growth history in relation to life-history movements and examining how water quality and habitat conditions affect life-history variability. The project utilizes otolith analyses to achieve these ecological insights crucial for conservation efforts.

| Description: | University of California, Davis under the authority of catalog for domestic assistance (CFDA) 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). Estimated total amount of agreement is $227,499.31, with Reclamation providing $227,499.31. The purpose of this project is to conduct a study to understand delta smelt ecology and improve our ability to predict the impacts of management actions on the endangered delta smelt and its habitat. The principal objectives of this experiment are to: (1) Determine the timing of movement to the low-salinity zone and estimate the relative proportion of freshwater resident fish that comprise the Spring Kodiak Trawl Survey, (2) Quantify the growth history of individuals in associated with life-history movements, and (3) Examine water quality and habitat conditions that effect life-history variability.
