Maslento Ice Harbor Dam).in the implementation of the squawfish managementprogram.Qbiectives:1. Index predator consumptionrates of juvenile salmonids inreservoirs throughout ColumbiaRiver Basin.2. Assist ODFW (Project 90-77)to index predator abundance,integrate predator abundanceand consumption indices toestimate system-wide losses ofjuvenile salmonids to predators,and synthesize data to developsystematic approach for implementationof squawfishmanagement and evaluation ofthat program.86-118(TaskOrder 10)Feasibility of Satisfying Date Initiated: September 1990 FY 1990: Initiate project; assemble a multi-Model Assumptions of thedisciplinary team.Burnham and Anderson Fish Results/Conclusions: None at this time.Survival Estimation TechniquesFY 1991: Complete model evaluation; issuereport.Proiect Officer: P.
