Operational Plan for the Restoration of Diadromous Fishes to the ...

� Strategy- Assess environmental conditions that are
limiting
� Strategy- Use quantile regression model coupled with
development of adaptive management criteria based on
quantiles.
• Measure 3d: > = 3 smolts per unit (240 eggs/unit*0.0125 or estimate
from parr quantile regression and typical smolt survival) within five
years of a sub-drainage achieving 20 % of Objective 1 measures for
hatchery and wild fish combined (Table 1).
o Smolt trap or other estimation method
� Strategy- See 3c above…
• Measure 3e: Egg to smolt survival of > = 1.25% within five years of a
sub-drainage achieving 20 % of Objective 1 measures for hatchery and
wild fish combined (Table 1).
o Analysis of data
� Strategy- See 3c above…
� Collect appropriate juvenile abundance data and smolt
data to assess. Use un-biased sampling approach.
Objective 6: Increase upstream migratory survival rate within 15 years to allow selfsustaining
levels.
• Measure 6a: Improve upstream fish passage at dams to levels needed
for self-sustaining population
� Strategy- Estimate required passage efficiencies
� Strategy- Review current information and use to direct
further action under this objective.
� Strategy- Assess fish passage at all dams as needed
within 5 years
� Strategy- Complete improvements based on passage
efficiency and population effect within 10 years.
� Strategy- Target current focus restoration areas.
• Measure 6b: Improve stream connectivity (small dams, culverts etc.) to
levels needed to achieve desired Ne and N.
� Strategy- Assess connectivity limitations within 5 years
� Strategy- Fix connectivity problems based on passage
efficiency and population effect within 10 years
� Strategy- Target current focus restoration areas.
Objective 7: Increase downstream migratory survival rate within 15 years to allow
self-sustaining levels.
• Measure 7a: Improve downstream fish passage at dams to levels
needed for self-sustaining population
� Strategy- Estimate required passage efficiencies
� Strategy- Review current information and use to direct
further action under this objective.
