PROJECTNUMBERTITLEPROJECT STATUSSCHEDULE AND MILESTONES89-30 Evaluation of Pre-ReleaseTemperature Acclimation at"Ground Water" Hatcheries - WDFProiect Officer: A. RugerQbiectives:1. To provide Klickitat Riveracclimation water to the KlickitatHatchery site.2. Compare the performance(survival of adults to hatcheryrack) of spring chinook smoltsraised in <strong>and</strong> released directlyfrom a groundwater suppliedhatchery to smolts released fromthe same hatchery following acclimationwith the ambienttributary receiving water for aperiod of time before release.Date Initiated: July 1989 1. July 1, 1989 - June 30, 1990: Feasibility<strong>and</strong> engineering studies <strong>and</strong> construction toResults/Conclusions: First objective is provide <strong>river</strong> water to the hatchery site.complete <strong>and</strong> BPA is reviewing constructiondocuments <strong>and</strong> budget. Work on 2. September 1990: Start coded-wire tagObjective 2 pending this review. <strong>fish</strong> for 4 years.3. August 1992: Start sampling coded-wiretags for 5 years.4. June 30, 1998: Final report <strong>and</strong> projectcompletion.89-46 Spring Chinook Smelt QualityAssessment - NMFSProinct Officer: R. Austinmectiva:1. Select <strong>and</strong> monitor <strong>fish</strong>quality at four hatcheries.2. Correlate these data withoverall survival of the releasedgroups (total contribution).3. Determine suitability ofsmolt quality indices <strong>and</strong>other physiological parametersfor assessing <strong>fish</strong> quality <strong>and</strong>improving hatchery effectiveness.Date Initiated: February 1989Results/Conclusions:1. Sampling during the first year atfour hatcheries indicated that most <strong>fish</strong>were released prior to the initiation ofthe smoltification process.2. Sampling is continuing.3. Developed plan for monitoring physiologicalparameters of wild smolts.1. FY 1990: Characterize physiological parametersfor wild spring chinook in at least three sub<strong>basin</strong>s;continue monitoring of hatchery smolts.2. FY 1991: Continue monitoring wild <strong>and</strong> hatcherysmolts.3. FY 1992: Complete monitoring of smolt qualityparameters.4. FY 1993-1996: Recovery of adult returns.5. FY 1996: Recovery of adult <strong>fish</strong> complete; finalreport written.
