Grant Description

The Stockton Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will provide $88,768 to Biopar to fund research activities on delta smelt and longfin smelt for the purpose of investigation of the feasibility of natural external body marks in identifying individual adult fish. The purpose of this funding is to enable Biopar in completing the evaluation of natural marks for adult delta smelt and longfin smelt. The completion of this project will help to meet the USFWS priorities of marking hatchery fish and to support monitoring and research, as recommended in the 1995 Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Native Fishes Recovery Plan.
