1 Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund Project Proposal FY 2007 Funding (Funding available through December 31, 2009) Project Name: Deschutes River Summer/fall Chinook Salmon Coded Wire Tagging Project IV PCSRF Fiscal Year: 2007 PCSRF Objective: (choose one) A. Watershed And Sub-Basin Planning And Assessment Projects B. Habitat Protection and Restoration Projects C. Salmon Enhancement Projects X D. Salmon Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Projects E. Outreach and Education Projects F. Other programmatic activities geared to the restoration of salmon, consistent with the overall goal of the PCSRF. Project Proposed Start Date: April 1, 2008 Project Proposed End Date: December 31, 2009 Project Description: We are proposing to coded wire tag (CWT) a minimum 40,000 Deschutes River, Oregon, juvenile summer/fall Chinook salmon (Deschutes River summer/fall-run ESU) from the 2008 brood year. During autumn and winter 2009, we will conduct spawning ground surveys to recover from carcasses. Retrieved carcasses will be checked for a CWT. When CWTs are present, they will be analyzed under a microscope and tag code deciphered. Recovered tag codes will be sent to Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) to be entered into the Regional Mark Information System. Upriver bright summer/fall Chinook are a major contributor to southeast Alaska and Canadian fisheries and are of primary concern for the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC). Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook are one of three naturally spawning stocks within the Columbia River stock group under the 1999 Chinook annex of the Pacific Salmon Treaty. Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon have been identified as an escapement indicator stock and a priority stock for CWTing. Based on CWT results the U. S. Chinook Technical Committee (USCTC) will develop a model for determining ocean distribution, smolt survival, and production. In order for the PSC to monitor the effects of their abundance-based management approach described in the Pacific Salmon Treaty, exploitation rates are necessary. Results will also be used to building a production database to evaluating optimum spawning escapement levels. Benefits to Target Salmon Species: Project results will provide information on Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon ocean distribution and exploitation as well as Columbia River exploitation rates. Information gathered will also verify if summer/fall Chinook CWTed at Lyons Ferry Hatchery (LFH) are an adequate surrogate to represent Deschutes River fish when data is not available on ocean distribution and/or exploitation. 1
2 Additionally, project results will assist in determining if two stocks of summer/fall Chinook salmon are present in the Deschutes River; one above and one below Sherar s falls. Project Objectives: Our long-term goal is to provide ocean distribution and Columbia River exploitation rates for Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon. We will also use this information to verify if CWTed summer/fall Chinook from LFH can be used as surrogates to represent Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook ocean distribution and exploitation when Deschutes River tag data is unavailable. Project objectives are to: 1. CWT a minimum of 40,000 Deschutes River juvenile summer/fall Chinook salmon from the 2008 brood year during spring Test the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference (α=0.05, 1-β=0.9) in the proportion of CWT recoveries of Deschutes River and LFH Chinook salmon from ocean and in-river fisheries. 3. Estimate Deschutes River out-migrant Chinook numbers during 2009 such that estimated numbers are within + 15% of the true value; 95% of the time. 4. Estimate mean lengths of juvenile summer/fall Chinook salmon from the 2008 brood such that estimated means are within + 2 mm of the true mean; 95% of the time. 5. Inspect post-spawning adults from the 2009 brood for CWTs. Meeting project objectives in 2009 will allow us to calculate adult production, exploitation rates and smolt-to-adult survival rates for the 2003 brood year. In subsequent years, as CWTed fish from the broods return, ocean and in-basin exploitation rates will be determined as well as age composition of marked adults. Methods Stick seines will be used to capture juvenile fall Chinook. Seine length will vary from long by 6 deep with 3/16 mesh. Each seine will be operated by a two man crew by walking or swimming the net downstream through juvenile rearing habitat. The net is pursed at the downstream end of the tow by a third person. Capture fish are removed from the seine with aquarium nets and placed in five gallon buckets. After each set fish are transferred to two, 33 gallon, aerated holding tanks. Fresh river water is circulated through the tanks. Approximately 1,000 fish are held in each tank and then transported to 3 X 3 (1/8 mesh) holding pens anchored in a calm water eddy adjacent to a tagging camp. Fish will be held in net pens a minimum of twelve hours prior to tagging. Groups of approximately 1,500 fish are transferred from the holding pen and placed in 20 gallon aerated holding tanks at tagging camp. Up to 50 fish at a time are placed in two gallon tubs and sedated with MS-222 (19 g per liter) for size sorting. Fish are sorted into three length groups (50-54 mm fk., mm fk and >70 mm fk) and tagged using the appropriate head mold. Minimum size for tagging is 50 mm. Juveniles less than 50 mm are released after recovering from anesthesia. Fish missing adipose fins (i.e. re-captures) are 2
3 checked for tag retention and measured for length prior to being released. Recaptured fish missing CWTs are re-tagged prior to release. Prior to the commencement of tagging each week at least 100 juvenile fall Chinook salmon are randomly selected from the net pen for length measuring (nearest mm) and weighing (1/10 g). Onehundred fish from each unique tag code are randomly selected and measured for fork length. Three Mark IV tagging machines are utilized to apply CWTs to the juvenile fall Chinook salmon. A small generator powers the tagging equipment. Fish between mm, mm, and 70+ mm were tagged using a 120 fish per lb head mold, 90 fish per lb head mold and a 65 fish per lb head mold, respectfully. Prior to tagging, tag placement is determined by tagging and sacrificing a fish to determine tag location in the snout. Tagging commences when proper tag placement is ensured. Standard length decimal tags are applied to all juvenile fall Chinook salmon at least 50 mm in length. Unique tag codes are used for fish captured above and below Sherar s falls. Before each fish is tagged the adipose fin was removed. A crew of four to seven sort, excise the adipose fin and tag fish. Tagged juvenile fall Chinook salmon are placed in a holding pen and held overnight prior to release. The following morning a minimum of 100 previously tagged fish are randomly selected and checked for tag retention using a V-shaped portable tag detector. If more than three percent are missing tags all fish tagged the previous day will be checked for tag retention and retagged if necessary. After checking tag retention fish are removed from the net pens and transported downstream for release into a calm water area. Post-tagging mortalities are recorded and subtracted from the previous day s tagging total. Additionally mortalities are tested for tag retention and measured to fork length. Project Summary: This project supports implementation of the coast wide abundance-based management approach adopted under the U.S. v. Canada Treaty. It provides ocean and in-river exploitation rates of Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon. Combined with data on adult escapement managers will be able to estimate total harvest, distribution, marine survival, and exploitation rates for Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon. Project results will improve management of this stock. Project objectives are consistent with the Tribal Restoration Plan and Warm Springs natural resource management plans such as the Integrated Resource Management Plan (CTWSRO 1992; CTWSRO 1997). Monitoring and Evaluation Plan: Meeting project objectives in 2009 will allow us to calculate adult production, exploitation and smolt-toadult survival rates. In subsequent years, as CWTed fish return to the Deschutes River, ocean and inriver exploitation rates will be determined as well as age composition of marked adults. ESA, NEPA and other Regulatory Compliance Plan if appropriate: An informal consultation occurred with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on 20 March NMFS determined this project was not likely to adversely affect threatened Middle Columbia River steelhead or their habitat (Consultation # F/NWR/2003/00278). Project Products: 3
4 Project objectives support the implementation of the US Canada Treaty coast wide abundance-based management approach by providing ocean and in-river exploitation rates for Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon. Combined with adult escapement estimates, we will be able to estimate total harvest, distribution, marine survival, and exploitation. Continued data collection will allow Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon to be developed as a USCTC model stock. Stock management will also improve from the collection of this data.

SALMON RESEARCH, MONITORING, AND EVALUATION PROJECTS State whether or not the project is directly related to key salmon management questions regarding salmon recovery and/or sustainability of healthy salmon stocks? Yes. Upriver bright summer/fall Chinook are a major contributor to southeast Alaska and Canadian fisheries and are of primary concern for the PSC. Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook are one of three naturally spawning stocks within the Columbia River summer/fall Chinook stock group under the 1999 annex of the Pacific Salmon Treaty. Deschutes River summer/fall Chinook salmon have been identified as an escapement indicator stock and as a priority stock for coded-wire tagging to develop as a model stock by the USCTC. Exploitation rates on these fish are needed to assist the PSC in monitoring effects of the abundance-based management approach of the Pacific Salmon Treaty on this stock and to build an accurate data base of production for use when evaluating optimum spawning escapement levels. List names of the organizations cooperating on the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Project: USCTC (project oversight) CRITFC (analytical support) ODFW (matching funds for field assistance) PSC (matching funds for field assistance) Number of organizations cooperating on the Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Project: Four Report the number of research findings related to Pacific Salmon Treaty incorporated into abundance-based management regimes: All research findings are directly linked with the abundance-based management regimes in the Pacific Salmon Treaty. Describe the Research Monitoring and Evaluation findings utilized in adaptive changes to salmon and watershed programs and policies: During January, 2002, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon (CTWSRO) entered into a cooperative agreement (COOP &076) to conduct a juvenile summer/fall Chinook salmon 6
7 CWT feasibility study in the Deschutes River. The feasibility study was implemented during the spring, Funding was supplied through the Southeast Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund. The objectives of the feasibility study were to determine suitable juvenile capture locations and capture methods; develop in-river holding techniques and to asses post capture mortality and tag retention. The results of this study demonstrated that implementing a summer/fall Chinook CWT program in the Deschutes River was feasible. During this project 11,276 CWTs were implanted in juvenile summer/fall Chinook salmon from the 2001 brood. A biometrician was contacted to determine how many fish needed to be tagged. It was determined sample sizes needed to be 40,000 or 120,000 (Chris Brun, personal communication) A total of 193,994 Deschutes River juvenile summer/fall Chinook salmon have been CWTed from the brood years.
