Project Contract 4101 ODFW Contract 4102 CTWSRO In FY02: Bull trout life history, genetics, habitat needs, and limiting factors in central and northeast Oregon Funds = $ 488 K

Contract 4101 (FY02) Migratory patterns, structure, abundance, and status of bull trout populations in the Columbia Plateau. Funds: $351 K Subcontract to USFS (PNW Lab)

Goals (4101) Provide scientific information needed to develop and modify protection and recovery plans for Columbia Basin bull trout. Implement a program to monitor the population status of bull trout in the Columbia Plateau Province.

Objectives (FY02) Characterize fine-scale population structure in the John Day basin. Determine movements of fluvial bull trout of the Umatilla River. Compare methods to estimate adult bull trout abundance in Mill Creek. Employ EMAP to monitor the status, trends, and distribution of adult bull trout in the Columbia Plateau.

Population structure Broad-scale structure between basins was described by DNA microsatellite analysis of 65 populations ( Spruell et al Cons Gen). Early analysis used 4 microsatellite loci; 6 more are available. Preliminary new analysis and telemetry suggest fine-scale structure within basins. Implications for metapopulation theory and population management.

Population structure John Day basin (FY02) Attempted collection of supplemental samples from 2 streams. Collected samples from 3 streams where none had been collected previously, to add analytical power. Collected samples from 5 streams sampled in 1995, to test for temporal variation in allele frequencies

John Day basin

Population structure John Day basin (FY03) Collect supplemental samples from 2 streams. Re-analyze archived samples collected in 1995 (10 streams) with 6 new microsatellite loci. Analyze samples collected in 2002 (8 streams) and 2003 (2 streams) with 10 microsatellite loci.

Fluvial bull trout movements Umatilla River (FY02) areas of seasonal use, particularly over winter better description of migratory corridors possible use of the Columbia River. Sub-objectives Determine:

Umatilla River

Fluvial bull trout movements Umatilla River (FY02) Radio-tagged 15 fluvial fish (300 mm or >) 11 from Umatilla R (km ) 4 from N.F. Umatilla R (km 0-3) All moved into N.F. Umatilla by end of July. Distributed up to Rkm 9 (N.F.) during September and October. Recovered 8 tags during November. 7 fish over-wintered in Umatilla R (km ).

Contract 4101 (FY03) Migratory patterns, structure, abundance, and status of bull trout populations in the Columbia Plateau and Blue Mountain provinces. Funds: $371 K Subcontracts: USFS-PNW U of MT

Objectives (FY03) Characterize fine-scale population structure in the John Day and Grande Ronde basins. Determine movements of fluvial bull trout of the Umatilla and Lostine rivers. Compare methods to estimate adult bull trout abundance in Mill Creek. Employ EMAP to monitor the status, trends, and distribution of adult bull trout in the Columbia Plateau.

Population structure Grande Ronde basin (FY03) Collect supplemental samples from 1 stream. Collect samples from 6 streams where none had been collected previously, to add analytical power. Collect samples from 4 streams sampled in 1995, to test for temporal variation in allele frequencies Analysis of samples to be done in FY04.

Fluvial bull trout movements Lostine River (FY03) areas of seasonal use impediments to migration from water diversions temperatures where adults locate possible use of the Snake River. Sub-objectives Determine:

Identified mature females using ultrasound. Snorkeled area upstream from the dam to count unmarked fluvial adult-sized (> 300 mm FL) bull trout.

Resident adult abundance Used Hankin and Reeves-type methods to get population estimates for fish mm FL. In mainstem: glides and riffles were block-netted and electrofished to get removal estimates. Pools were snorkeled; diver counts were calibrated. In tributaries: riffle/pool units were block-netted and electrofished. Density estimates were expanded to estimate abundance of bull trout mm FL.

Redd counts 3 surveys spaced evenly throughout Sep and Oct. Measured redd lengths and widths. Measured redds in the Little Minam River (resident population above a barrier). Developed rule for assigning redds in the Mill Creek drainage to fluvial or resident females.
