2. TRINITY RIVER RESTORATION PROGRAM Juvenile Salmonid Outmigrant Monitoring Evaluation – Phase II • PHASE I (October 2007-August 2008) • Objective: To review and evaluate outmigrant monitoring program data collection, datasets, and analytical procedures. • Summarized >20 yr history of outmigrant monitoring efforts • Assembled, determined extraction needs, and summarized available data • Reviewed field procedures • Provided broad review of population estimation techniques • Primary Recommendations: • Detailed evaluation of applicable population estimation techniques for the Trinity River outmigrant datasets • Extract consistent dataset for all monitoring sites and years • Generate outmigrant population estimates for evaluation and analyses across years • Data collection refinements, including site-specific monitoring duration, mark-recapture expt’s, covariates, trap operations TRRP – Outmigrant Monitoring Evaluation 10/6-8/2009 Population Monitoring Technology Transfer Workshop

3. TRINITY RIVER RESTORATION PROGRAM Juvenile Salmonid Outmigrant Monitoring Evaluation – Phase II • PHASE II (October 2008 – present) • Objective: To develop applicable analytic techniques for use with juvenile salmonid outmigrant data to evaluate TRRP performance, and transfer procedures to the TRRP and program partners for future use • Data extraction and synthesis • Estimation of metrics of interest (i.e., abundance, run-timing, condition) • Develop population estimation and simulation tools • Technology transfer workshop TRRP – Outmigrant Monitoring Evaluation 10/6-8/2009 Population Monitoring Technology Transfer Workshop
