5 Independent Scientific Review Pnel (ISRP) Review of Revised Hood River Production Mster Pln ISRP Review Summry Residulism y Htchery Steelhed..reviews recommended tht the project sponsors develop M&E protocols to ssess the extent to which the residulism of htchery steelhed is resulting in the displcement of wild fish from Hood River hitt These yerling residuls my compete with nd displce wild underyerling prr.my contriute little or nothing to susequent smolt yields, while few likely mture precociously nd spwn with wild fish, thus decresing fitness of wild spwners.contriuting towrd hyrid swrms with cutthrot trout.. A good strting point.estimte the numer of residuls the htchery is producing.or try to forecst life-history types.

6 Why do steelhed residulize? Too smll to smolt notle in S1 progrms Fst erly growth leds to erly mle mturtion I m ctully rinow trout despite the lifestyle my prents chose

12 Results Sex femles, 146 mles (51:49) BY femles, 135 mles (55:45) BY 2012 There were only 4 immture prr (smolt index = 1) in 2011 (ll femle) nd 0 in All other femles were immture smolts Smolts were the most common life-history in oth yers In mles mturtion initites efore cler increses in GSI Histology ws est method for exmining mle mturtion nd we recognized 6 different life-history stges (or types) in oth rood yers Other prmeters were required to support the histologicl results This pproch could e used for surveying wild stocks s well.

28 Conclusions We hve demonstrted the efficcy of using physiologicl indices from single time point to forecst steelhed life-history types Residulism estimte ws 3% in BY 2011, ~5% in BY 2012 = out 1,500-2,500 per 50,000 fish (is this low?) Attempted mturtion ppers to e rel phenotype M-2 (.k.. 1 Slts if smolting) ~ 11-12% in oth yers = 5,500 per 50K. Chllenging question do ny of the M-2 s sty in FW (RBT)? Repet in BY 2013 fish
