Captive Propagation Objectives <br />4) Establish an active management/monitoring plan that will identify and minimize the sources of <br />domestication selection in production fish for the hatchery environment. <br />Management Action: Monitoring of all hatchery broodstocks and progeny to determine <br />changes in allele frequency as indicators of loss of `wild' characteristics. <br />Task: Hatchery broodstocks will be inventoried annually to determine mortality, <br />and statistical analysis performed to determine if lineage sorting is occurring. <br />Target date: July 2004-July 2008 <br />A. Task: A sample of 1% of hatchery production fish will be sampled annually, <br />and allelic frequencies will be compared to expected frequencies to determine if, <br />and at what stage selection (as assessed by allelic loss) is occurring. <br />Target date: July 2004-July 2008 <br />B. Task: Annual report will be prepared to assess status of broodstocks and <br />progeny, and strategies identified to minimize culture impacts. <br />Target date: December 2005-December 2008 <br />5) Establish culture procedures to minimize the risks associated with intensive hatchery <br />production: <br />Management Action: A minimum of 5,000 fish from any one parent will be produced for <br />stocking in one location, whether the parent is used in a one on one paired mating, or two <br />by two mating. <br />34
