The Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) is offering this grant to monitor and evaluate the success of compensation efforts, particularly regarding adult fish returns from hatchery releases to facilities, spawning areas, and fisheries. This grant is for assisting IDFG in assessing the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) program. Key activities include estimating adult Chinook salmon and steelhead harvest in the Columbia River and their migration timing, as well as quantifying hatchery and wild fish returns to Idaho. Data on marked stock distribution in recreational fisheries will inform annual harvest management. The project also involves processing fish tags (excising, reading, uploading to the Regional Mark Information System) to maintain accessible information, ultimately providing robust estimates of returns from LSRCP releases.

| Description: | To properly evaluate the compensation effort, adult returns to facilities, spawning areas, and fisheries that result from hatchery releases. Assist Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) in evaluating the success of the LSRCP program s: 1. Assist in summarizing and estimating adult Chinook salmon and steelhead harvest in the main stem Columbia River fisheries and to determine migration timing through the various fisheries; 2. Assist in estimating the number of hatchery and wild/natural fish returning to the project area in Idaho. The timing and distribution of the marked hatchery and wild stocks in Idaho recreational fisheries will be analyzed to develop annual harvest management plans. Harvest data will be coupled with hatchery return data to provide an estimate of returns from LSRCP releases; and 3. Assist with excising tags from snouts, reading tags, uploading data to the Regional Mark Information System (RMIS), and maintaining the information in a manner accessible to the interested parties. |
