This cooperative agreement, offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, provides $150,104.00 to the University of California, Santa Cruz. This grant is for the purpose of understanding how changes in the Delta impact Chinook and steelhead salmon populations. It aims to explore how these environmental shifts alter their genetic composition and evolution, and to determine if there is a genetic basis for observed changes in life history strategy, such as the shift from anadromy to residency. Principal objectives include analyzing the impacts of facility pumps on Central Valley hatchery steelhead entrainment and identifying genetic differences between successful and unsuccessful migrants.

Description: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to University of California, Santa Cruz under the authority of Catalog of Federal 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 $150,104.00 with Reclamation providing $150,104.00 in Fiscal Year 2013. The purpose of this study understand how the changes in the Delta are affecting Chinook and steelhead salmon population numbers, how those changes may be altering the genetic composition and evolution of the remaining survivors and whether there is a genetic basis behind the observed changes in the distribution of life history strategy from anadromy to residency in many steelhead populations. The principal objectives of this experiment are to: (1) Analyze the impacts of the facility pumps on entrainment of the Central Valley hatchery steelhead stocks, and (2) Analyze statistically significant differences between the successful and unsuccessful migrants. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R13AS20037 for additional information)
