<br />~ <br /> <br />.1 <br /> <br />YII. Study Schedule (start/end by task): This proposed investigation will be <br />conducted primarily during the months of March through October for a <br />period of 5 years. This time frame is identified around a probable <br />spawning window of mid-Kay and early June. Adult humpback chub will be <br />equipped with radio transmitters in Karch and tracked during May and June. <br />Larval drift will be monitored shortly after spawning and nursery habitat <br />and recruitment will be assessed in spring, summer, and fall. <br /> <br />VIII. FY 1 Work <br /> <br />A. Oescrintion of Work: <br /> <br />Field work in FY 1 will be initiated in mid to late Karch with <br />radio-implant of 20 fish, which is expected to require 10 field <br />days. Radio-implsnting will be followed by two reconnaissance trips <br />each 2 field days to relocate the fish and assess their condition. <br />A 14-day tracking period will be conducted in Mayor June in an <br />attempt to locate spawning sites. Seining of age-O fish and habitat <br />mapping will be conducted monthly through early October. Drift <br />netting will be conducted concurrently with radiotracking to locate <br />spawning sites and assess larval transport. Sampling will be <br />coordinated in late August with the ISKP Humpback Chub Monitoring <br />Program to assess invasion of non-native species. <br /> <br />B. Deliverables: <br /> <br />Annual Summary Report containing all findings of FY 1, including (1) <br />movement of radiotagged fish, (2) identified spawning sites, (3) <br />description of spawning sites, (4) spawning site habitat maps, (5) <br />extent of larval drift, (6) nursery areas used by young chubs, and <br />(6) nursery habitat maps. <br /> <br />C.
