  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: OWEB Project Number 216-5042-12451 Phase IV - Wallowa Mountains Bull Trout Monitoring, Final Report Abstract -- Bull trout were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1998 due to declining populations. Spawning survey data is important for determining relative abundance and distribution trends in bull trout populations. Without adequate funding, it has been difficult to find sufficient numbers of experienced bull trout surveyors and packers for surveys in the back-country, and to obtain adequate supplies to get the work accomplished. OWEB funding supported the continued survey of bull trout spawning areas in years 2016 through 2018 in the Grande Ronde and Imnaha drainages of northeast Oregon. Surveys were conducted by fisheries consultants, the Service, Nez Perce Tribe, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Freshwater Trust, Wallowa Resources, Anderson Perry, Inc., Grande Ronde Model Watershed, and volunteers. Timing of spawning, total redds, redd sizes, and redd locations are documented in the attached report. In 2016-2018, surveys were located on the Lostine and Imnaha Rivers, and Big Sheep and Bear Creeks. In addition, the Upper Minam and Wenaha were surveyed in 2018. OWEB funding helped to accomplish a total of 43.3, 41.1, and 71.7 stream miles surveyed in 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Species of Concern South Coast District, 1990 Abstract -- The Fish Division requested each District Fish Biologist to review the present status of the fish stocks in their District, and then identify, by species, each population that is of concern at this time. This included populations that are thought to be at a sensitive level by the biologists and, also, ones that the public think may be declining or at low levels. Also, any hatchery programs that are presently not meeting the management goals of the basin should be addressed. The following populations and programs were identified by South Coast District personnel as meeting the criteria for "concern" Title: Species of Concern South Coast District, 1990 Abstract -- The Fish Division requested each District Fish Biologist to review the present status of the fish stocks in their District, and then identify, by species, each population that is of concern at this time.
