Performance Work Statement

Monitoring Juvenile Anadromous O. mykiss in the Lower San Joaquin and Stanislaus

River

February 2025

1.0 Background

A limited knowledge of California Central Valley Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hinders our ability to evaluate the status and trends of this Distinct Population Segment (DPS) and quantify the effects of potential stressors such as CVP operations. For example, annual juvenile production from the California Central Valley Steelhead DPS is unknown and therefore take limits at the state and federal pumping facilities are set by expert judgement rather than O.

mykiss population dynamics. It is essential that we improve our fundamental understanding of Central Valley O. mykiss biology and ecology in order to better manage and conserve the species in the effort to maximize water delivery and hydropower for the CVP.

California Central Valley O. mykiss are distributed throughout most watersheds but often in low abundance, particularly in San Joaquin tributaries (Williams et al. 2016). The species can adopt a broad range of life-history strategies ranging from anadromous (steelhead) to freshwater residents (Rainbow trout). While there is a genetic basis for life-history expression (Pearse et al.

2014), resident O. mykiss can produce offspring that adopt an anadromous life-history and anadromous steelhead can produce freshwater residents (Zimmerman et al. 2009). Although the Endangered Species Act (ESA) recovery framework is focused on the anadromous portion of the Central Valley O. mykiss population, evidence suggests many O. mykiss in Central Valley are non-anadromous, and likely not isolated from the anadromous component of the population. This will require understanding both anadromous and resident portion of the population to adequately manage the species.

There are a variety of genetic and environmental factors that influence population dynamics and life-history variation in O. mykiss (Kendall et al. 2014). Past research has emphasized that growth and survival in freshwater, survival during migration and at sea, asymptotic sizes achievable in freshwater, and genetic makeup are key factors in determining life-history expression and adaptation (Satterthwaite et al. 2009, 2010, Pearse et al. 2014). This project’s studies will build on past research focusing on evaluating how CVP operations impact the expression and evolution of O. mykiss life histories.

Certain information for real-time operations decision making provides a basis for minimizing CVP impacts on fish species of concern. These surveys observe biotic and abiotic conditions to inform risk assessments, which evaluate how different CVP operations may affect listed species.

1. Juvenile passage and production estimates of Salmon and Steelhead

2. Chinook spawn timing and location in Sacramento River and Clear Creek

3. Escapement and spawning population sizes

4. Water temperature and turbidity at specific locations in CVP rivers

The effective use of these observations requires timely documentation and delivery to support real-time analysis tools, typically on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis.

Status and Trend

Status and trend surveys quantify performance measures and viability metrics using survey methods that provides an estimate and measurement of uncertainty.

Status and trend monitoring supports quantitative modeling and predictive tools, so that efforts can be advanced to predict the outcome of future management scenarios instead of reacting to previous documented observations. Status and trend monitoring includes metrics of:

1. Juvenile fish abundance, run type, and run timing

2. Adult fish escapement and distribution

3. Spawning population estimates

4. Water temperature and turbidity

Status and trend monitoring also provides measures that are comparable across:

A. CVP tributaries B. Seasons, e.g., different life stages and operational conditions.

C. Years; and D. Equipment improvements

These metrics should be of sufficient resolution and statistical power to detect differences in operational and physical habitat and biological regimes over time.

This project is designed to measure juvenile steelhead abundance, run type (anadromous or resident), and run timing to support real-time operations information needs and status and trend monitoring.

Reclamation anticipates this project and associated studies will span three years. However, the project has a modular design that will result in severable deliverables produced on an annual basis. Each modular component will fill critical knowledge gaps and therefore improve our understanding of O. mykiss biology and ecology. Reclamation aims to use the collective components of this project to test hypotheses related to O. mykiss life-history variation and CVP operations and enhance our ability to conserve and manage this species.

2.0 Purpose and Scope of Work

The scope of the project includes a series of complementary, stand-alone monitoring efforts that will enable Reclamation to accomplish the following objectives.

1. Guide expansion of the JPE Framework to the Sacramento River.

2. Enumerate the population size of O. mykiss in the Stanislaus River

3. Estimate key population demographics (e.g., age structure, sex ratio).

4. Quantify the survival and transition probabilities of key life stages (e.g., fry-to-parr survival, parr-to-age 1+ survival, etc.).

Conceptual and quantitative work described in this scope will encompass multiple O. mykiss life-stages, while implemented field monitoring will focus on evaluating juvenile life stages.

Collectively these efforts aim to generate data for analyses that can inform ongoing steelhead life-cycle and decision-support models including a steelhead JPE. Additional details regarding the efforts are provided in 9.0 Tasks below.

The need for this project is to collect data necessary on the Stanislaus River to inform real time operations and improve our methods for collecting status and trend monitoring on Central Valley steelhead populations. Doing so will enable Reclamation to minimize potential impacts of CVP operations on O. mykiss population dynamics and the expression of anadromy in this species while also maximizing water delivery and hydropower.

In collaboration with Reclamation, the Contractor shall:

1. develop and report on a JPE model and necessary monitoring that applies methodologies outlined in the Steelhead Science Plan and reports generated from steelhead life cycle monitoring in the Stanislaus River to up to 3 CVP tributaries.

2. Quantify the abundance of outmigrating juvenile O. mykiss entering the Delta using the methods and approaches in the Steelhead Science Plan and reports generated from steelhead life cycle monitoring in the Stanislaus River that have elected an anadromous life history using the following metrics:

a. Annual estimates of the Stanislaus O. mykiss population size as well as age and size structure of the population as they relate to estimating abundance of outmigrating juveniles.

b. Annual estimates of instream rearing survival and outmigration rates and survival.

The geographic scope of the field work is split between the Stanislaus and Lower San Joaquin River, California.

9.0 Tasks

Description of Work:

This Contractor shall complete a Sacramento River JPE implementation Plan that includes detailed information on life-stage specific monitoring methodology and spatiotemporal scope. In addition, this contract shall cover monitoring activities including an assessment of the existing population size in the Stanislaus River, annual evaluation of the age classes and somatic growth rates of the target population, annual estimates of population vital rates (e.g., egg-to-fry, instream rearing survival, etc.), and annual estimates of the abundance of juvenile anadromous O. mykiss outmigrants. Task-specific details and deliverables are described below.

Task 1. Sacramento River JPE implementation Plan (Base Year)

The contractor shall develop a juvenile production estimate implementation plan (JPEIP) for O.

mykiss for up to three CVP tributaries. The Contractor will design a repeatable monitoring plan for implementing JPE efforts in these tributaries guided by previous studies, including ongoing efforts in the Stanislaus River, with the intent of estimating the outmigration abundance of O.

mykiss in the defined study area. The Contractor shall develop the JPEIP with input from Reclamation and project partners with a draft JPEIP submitted to Reclamation for review and comment. The Contractor shall incorporate comments on the Draft JPEIP into a Final JPEIP.

Task 1 Deliverables:

1) Electronic versions of Draft and Final JPEIP and schedule. Draft delivered by March 30, 2026. Final delivered by August 31, 2026 or within four weeks after Reclamation’s comments are provided.

Task 2 – Enumeration of Current O. mykiss Population Size (Base Year and all Option Years)

The Contractor shall implement annual surveys to estimate the current O. mykiss population size. At a minimum the surveys will include:

• A mark-recapture component that will enable identification and monitoring of individual fish.

• Data on the spatial and temporal distribution of fish captured, marked, and released.

• Data on fork length, mass, and other morphometrics of individual O. mykiss captured.

• Tissue collection from captured O. mykiss including scales and fin tissue for future genetic analyses.

• A randomized design (e.g., GRTS)

• An analytical framework that produces mean population size estimates with estimates of uncertainty and error.

Juvenile abundances can be estimated using a variety of sampling and mark-recapture methods.

Sampling methods employed by the Contractor may include, but will not necessarily be limited to beach seining, electrofishing, and hook-and-line sampling. Similarly, there are numerous methods that can effectively ‘mark’ individual fish including, but not limited to Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, elastomer tags, spot patterns and image recognition, and close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR). It is essential that surveys implemented by the Contractor be based on a Generalized Random Tessellation Sampling (GRTS) design, regardless of the specific approach. The Contractor shall work with Reclamation and other project partners to identify the temporal period when sampling will occur based on conditions for effective sampling and on the target life stage (e.g. YOY abundance, over winter abundance, etc.). In addition, the Contractor shall implement an analytical estimation of population size, including estimates of uncertainty, using R (https://www.r-project.org/).

The Contractor will produce annual estimates of the Stanislaus River O. mykiss population size.

The methods used by the Contractor to complete this task will generate data on the spatiotemporal distribution of the target species and individual fish. The Contractor shall collect tissue samples (e.g., scales) during population surveys to support the completion of tasks described below. The Contractor will work collaboratively with Reclamation and other project partners to identify the optimal sampling and marking methodology and spatiotemporal scope of monitoring.

Task 2 Deliverables:

1) Raw data collected during field surveys submitted as a Comma Separated Values (CSV) files due in January of 2028.

a. Multiple data files can be submitted using Microsoft (MS) Office programs such as Excel or Access.

2) Annotated R script used for data management and analysis due in January of 2028.

3) Technical Memorandum including details on monitoring design, survey schedule, annual

O. mykiss population estimates, discussion and caveats, and technical and logistical challenges encountered due in January of 2028.

Task 3: Analysis of Age and Growth (Base Year and all Option Years)

The Contractor shall analyze hard tissues (e.g., scales or otoliths) collected from Stanislaus River O. mykiss and up to five other water bodies (e.g., Sacramento River, Feather River) to compare spatial and temporal variation in the age and growth of O. mykiss in the Central Valley. Hard tissues from the Stanislaus River will be collected through monitoring efforts by the Contractor and project partners. Up to 200 samples from other water bodies will be provided by project partners, either from archival tissue collections or ongoing monitoring programs. At a minimum, these analyses will include:

- Image analysis of hard tissue microstructure (i.e., scale or otolith circuli).

- Redundant evaluation on microstructure from a subset of scale or otoliths reads (using independent readers) to assess error rate in age assignments and/or annual growth estimates.

- Individual IDs for scales or otoliths that can be linked to the individual source fish.

- An analytical framework that produces mean age structure and mean annual growth rates with estimates of uncertainty and error.

Age structure and annual growth rates are key parameters needed to model population dynamics (e.g., age and size at maturity and/or outmigration, etc). These factors impact population productivity, life-history expression, and size thresholds for electing disparate life-history pathways. Analyzing the microstructure of scales and otoliths is useful for estimating age and growth of O. mykiss however, tradeoffs exist between the use of each structure. Otoliths can be used to estimate daily growth rates in young-of-the-year individuals as well as age and annual growth rates. Otoliths are generally more accurate than scales because they are not subject to reabsorption but require lethal sampling whereas scales do not. The Contractor shall work with Reclamation and other project partners to identify to best tissue type and analytical approach needed to complete this task.

The Contractor shall collect data on the microstructure of scales and otoliths collected from juvenile and adult O. mykiss in the Stanislaus River and from samples provided by project partners from other water bodies. Microstructure data will be collected using ImageJ (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/) or comparable image processing software. The Contractor will collect duplicate data on the microstructure of scales and otoliths from a randomly selected subset of scales and otoliths. This subset of samples will be evaluated by independent technicians. The Contractor will analyze these microstructure data to estimate age and growth of O. mykiss and compare between watersheds.

Task 3 Deliverables:

1) Raw images and microstructure data collected from individual fish due in January of expiring contract year (see Table 5.6).

a. Microstructure data will be submitted as a Comma Separated Values (CSV) files

b. Multiple data files can be submitted using Microsoft (MS) Office programs such as Excel or Access.

2) Annotated R script used for data management and analysis due in January of expiring contract year (see Table 5.6).

3) Technical Memorandum including details on sample design, tissue type, age structure, annual growth rates, discussion and caveats, and technical and logistical challenges encountered due in January of expiring contract year (see Table 5.6).

Task 4. Monitoring survival and outmigration rates (Base Year and all Option Years)

The Contractor shall conduct annual surveys to estimate the instream survival and outmigration rates of juvenile O. mykiss. At a minimum, these surveys any will include:

• Selection of tagging methods based on fish size and best available science on tag burden ratios:

o Implementation of acoustic telemetry for appropriately sized fish.

o Utilization of a mark-recapture framework with unique tags, such as PIT tags or genetic markers, for fish too small to receive telemetry tags (e.g., Fork Length < https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/

140 mm).

• For acoustically tagged fish, coordinate with project partners for implementation and analysis, including but not limited to regular occurring meetings designed to minimize replicated efforts while also insuring adequate spatial and temporal coverage prior to annual tagging efforts.

• For alternatively tagged fish, application of a mark-recapture model such as Cormack- Jolly-Seber (or a comparable statistical model) to estimate survival and/or recapture probability while accounting for detection probability.

• If applicable, maintenance of stationary and/or remote PIT antennas (or equivalent infrastructure based on tagging method) to monitor in-stream and downstream migration of tagged individuals.

• An analytical framework that produces mean survival estimates and outmigration probabilities specific to individual age classes, incorporating estimates of uncertainty and error.

The Contractor shall collaborate with Reclamation and project partners to design and implement surveys and analyses aimed at estimating annual instream-rearing and outmigration survival, incorporating relevant individual and environmental covariates. Existing infrastructure and parallel Reclamation-funded O. mykiss survival studies will be leveraged where possible. The monitoring design outlined in Task 2: Enumeration of Current O. mykiss Population Size will be utilized to collect fish for this task, ensuring efficient data collection. Additionally, data gathered under this task, such as tissue samples and morphometric measurements, will also support Task 2.

The Contractor will work collaboratively with Reclamation and other project partners to identify optimal locations and techniques for new migrant trapping efforts. Sampling frequency will be designed to ensure unbiased estimates of outmigration abundance. The Contractor will provide recommendations on methods for evaluating detection efficiency and will conduct efficiency trials as needed. The Contractor shall ensure that marking (including tag types) and capture methods are regularly assessed under relevant physical and biological conditions (e.g., specific size classes of steelhead, variable flow conditions, etc.).

Task 4 Deliverables:

1) Raw data collected during field surveys submitted as a Comma Separated Values (CSV) files due in January of expiring contract year (see Table 5.6).
