CONDUCT FALL CHINOOK SALMON SPAWNING ESCAPEMENT ENUMERATION PROJECTS AND ANALYSIS

This is a single source award, which meets the criteria under 505 DM 2.14 (2) - Coninuation. This one year survey is an on-going project to help determine in-river run size (escapement) of Chinook salmon within the Shasta, Scott, and Salmon River basins and other major tributaries to the Middle Klamath River during the 2014 season (October through December, 2014). Information will be collected on run timing, spawning distribution, length frequency, and sex ratio for fall Chinook salmon. The survey provides for the recovery of coded wire tag information and scales for age class determination. Additionally, information on coho salmon and steelhead observed during the course of the survey will be documented.
