CAN HABITAT BE MADE?

HOW WOULD PERFORMANCE BE ASSESSED?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Habitat a limiting factor for protected species such as Chinook Salmon and Rainbow Trout (habitat gone) The assumption is that ecological conditions are altered within new habitat resulting in increase survival (production) of fish.

For Salmon: early life stage survival, hatchery, habitat enhancement actions, water operations... work is occurring in box 2, but Juvenile Counts are insufficient to evaluate Box 2. A beneficial actions alters Box 2, but Box 2 is invisible typically.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Using genetic information to peak into Box 2. Not practical to do without genetic information. Project is both restoring habitat and evaluating the viability and reproductive success by linking adults to juveniles. With his information you are empowered to have a discussion about how to recover species

GENETIC METHODS(PARENTAGE, KINSHIP)

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Many juveniles out there, but we can tell which parents they can from. Kind of like making a family tree. Have information on where parents spawned This is about demonstrating the tool. A mechanism by which performance can be evaluated.

Habitat can be made!

Presenter
Presentation Notes
1) Tool demonstrated 2) There doesn’t appear to be enough space for adults 3) Females spawning in constructed habitats produce juveniles similarly to females elsewhere 2 & 3 Suggest (in practice) QUANTITY is the informative multiplier 4) Diversity is good, which lead directly into viability being good.
