Final Report on Anadromous Salmonid Fish Hatcheries in California Joint Hatchery Review Committee Calif. Dept. Of Fish and Game National Marine Fisheries Service

GOAL NUMBER 1 n IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS PROGRAMS, POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT ARE LIKELY TO ARISE AS IMPORTANT ISSUES IN PERMITTING HATCHERY PROGRAMS UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIS ACT

GOAL NUMBER 2 n IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO USE HATCHERIES TO HELP RECOVER LISTED SALMON AND STEELHEAD POPULATIONS

GOAL NUMBER 3 n DISCUSS EMERGING VIEWS ON THE OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT OF HATCHERIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECOVERING DEPRESSED NATURAL STOCKS

MAJOR ISSUES n n n TRUCKING OF HATCHERY FISH COORDINATE WATER RELEASES REVIEW PRODUCTION GOALS CONSTANT FRACTIONAL MARKING PREPARE HATCHERY AND GENETIC MANAGEMENT PLANS

TRUCKING OF HATCHERY FISH

COORDINATION OF WATER RELEASES Feather River Hatchery

Nimbus Hatchery Production Goals (EXAMPLE)

CONSTANT FRACTIONAL MARKING 1. 2. 3. Steelhead are now 100% Adipose Fin Clipped. Constant Fractional Marking is occurring on Klamath-Trinity Chinook. A Constant Fractional Marking Plan is Being Developed for Central Valley Chinook.

Hatchery and Genetic Management Plans 1. Draft Plan for Warm Springs Hatchery is being finalized 2. Draft Plan for Iron Gate Undergoing Internal DFG Review

OTHER ISSUES n n n Sterilization of out-of basin stocks Release of fry Predation on Wild Fish Mixed stock fisheries Research needs Broodstock Collection and Mating n n n Disposition of Spawners Conservation hatcheries Use of hatchery Chemicals Hatchery Data Management Funding Responsibilities

NEXT STEPS 1. FORM HATCHERY IMPLEMENTATION TEAM (Completed) 2. COMMENCE WRITING HGMPS (In Process) 3. NOTICE AND HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS 4. WRITE DRAFT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 5. AGENCY AND PUBLIC REVIEW OF DRAFT PLAN 6. WRITE FINAL PLAN 7. OBTAIN CDFG/NMFS APPROVAL 8. RELEASE TO PUBLIC AND BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION
