The Fish and Wildlife Office is offering a grant to study the distribution of Manayunkia Speciosa in the Klamath River. The funds will be used to collect and analyze benthic invertebrate samples to understand habitat use and density of M. speciosa. The project aims to investigate how the distribution of M. speciosa is influenced by managed discharges from Iron Gate Dam and develop management strategies to reduce infection and mortality in native salmonid fishes. This grant opportunity is authorized under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958.

| Description: | Funds under this single source CESU award are to be used to collaborate with Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office Fisheries Program staff to collect, process, and analyze benthic invertebrate samples to measure habitat use and relative density of Manayunkia speciosa, the benthic invertebrate host of the Ceratonova shasta disease cycle. More specifically, this project will investigate how the distribution of M. speciosa correlates with the peak magnitude and duration of managed discharges from Iron Gate Dam. The overall goal of these studies is to develop science-based management alternatives that can be implemented to disrupt the distribution and abundance of infected polychaetes to cause a reduction in the prevalence of infection and associated mortality in native salmonid fishes. This award is made under the authority of Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958, 16 U.S.C.661. |
