Objective 2: Increase natural spawning to 100% of production by wild spawners in
40 years
• Increase wild proportion of overall escapement of wild sea-run and
hatchery-derived adults, with wild fish meeting Objective 1 (Table 1).
o Trap counts
o Redd counts
� Strategy- Penobscot Broodstock Management Plan will
be developed to help address this. Think creatively as to
how this can be accomplished.
� Strategy- Increase freshwater production by habitat
improvement, connectivity, intrinsic productivity, etc.
• Increase the number of hatchery-derived adults spawning naturally to
augment wild spawners by doubling the 2008 number in 5 years in at
least one sub-drainage, increasing by additional 50 % in 10 years in at
least two sub-drainages, and no augmentation in 40 years.
o Release data
o Redd counts
� Strategy- Penobscot Broodstock Management Plan will
be developed to help address this. Think creatively as to
how this can be accomplished. Identify areas for adult
stocking. Use adaptive management to assess results
and aggressively adapt to information.
