RPA #164: Develop, test, and deploy selective fishing methods and gear to target non-listed fish
RPA #167: Develop improved methods for estimating incidental mortality in fisheries
RPA #168: Develop methods for crediting
harvest reforms ether to recovery.
Relationship to other projectsRelationship to other projects•#29050: Phase I Okanogan River Spring Chinook Production – selectively harvest hatchery-origin fish
•#29033: Design & Conduct M&E – adult collection; program evaluation
•#29051: Develop Local Okanogan Steelhead Brood Stock – selectively harvest hatchery-origin fish; adult collection
•#29040: Develop & Propagate Local Okanogan Summer/Fall Chinook – selectively harvest hatchery-origin fish; adult collection
•#29008: Zosel Dam Facility – terminal harvest
Project ObjectivesProject Objectives

Develop detailed research plan
Obtain permits, NEPA, integration in harvest plans
Purchase gear
Objective 2 - Testing. Objective 2 - Testing.
Test equipment; develop protocols
Prepare test sites
Test gear, sites, and methods

Key M&E ObjectivesKey M&E Objectives
Catch efficiencies – CPUE by species, by gear, by site (#29042)
Immediate fish injuries (#29042)
Post-release behavior and survival (#29033)
Effects of selective fishing on population viability (#29033)
Expected Results•Costs of selective fishing gear & selective fishing
•C&S harvest potential using selective gear – Colville Tribe & other tribes
•Gear effects on fish health and population viability
•Efficacy of gear for brood stock collection
•Renewed C&S fishing opportunity
ScheduleScheduleDevelop detailed research plan – 2002-03
Site and fisherman investigations - 2003
Purchase gear – late 2003
Test equipment – early 2004
Conduct fishing tests as allowable – 2004 – 2010
Deploy gear – contingent on research results
