<br />METHODS <br /> <br />A schedule of project milestones is presented in Table I. The basic approach to this project is to <br />de\"~lop this scope of work. meet with the Recovery Team and Biology Committ~e, assimilate and <br />re\.iew available literature. develop recovery goals, and issue reports for review by the Recovery <br />Team. the Biology Committee. participating agencies, and by a scientific review group. The Final <br />Report is scheduled to be completed by April 30. 2000. <br /> <br />Task 1: Meet With Recovery Team and Biology Committee <br /> <br />This scope of work will be presented and described to the Recovery Team and to the Biology <br />C ommi ttee of the Recovery Program in the early phases of this project. The Recovery Team meeting <br />has not been scheduled at this time. and the Biology Committee meeting will be held July 15-16, <br />1999. This scope of work will be provided in advance of these meetings in order to receive <br />comments and input on the development of these recovery goals. <br /> <br />Task 2: Assimilate and Review Literature <br /> <br />A vai lable literature on population structure and dynamics of each sub-population of fishes will be <br />assimilated and reviewed. Also. available genetics studies will be reviewed. This information will <br />be used to derive numbers offish present in sub-populations and habitat availability. We recognize <br />that this information may not be known for some sub-populations. and information from other sub- <br />populations may be applied. <br /> <br />Task 3: Interview Biologists and Geneticists <br /> <br />Biologists from upper and lower basins will be interviewed to confirm sub-population designations, <br />ensure access to the latest available information. and evaluate approaches for developing specific <br />species recovery goals. Biologists interviews will focus on information from sub-populations of <br />greatest familiarity to the biologist. Geneticists will also be interviewed to evaluate the viability of <br />minimum population size and inbreeding rates considered in developing these recovery goals. <br /> <br />2 <br />
