IN A JOINT PROJECT BETWEEN NMFS, OSU, AND THE COLUMBIA RIVER INTER-TRIBAL FISH COMMISSION, OSU WILL COLLECT TISSUE SAMPLES FROM COASTAL OREGON RIVERS AND COLUMBIA RIVER CHINOOK SALMON STOCKS. TISSUE SAMPLES WILL BE USED FOR DNA ANALYSIS IN ORDER TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF CHINOOK SALMON STOCKS FROM OREGON IN THE COAST-WIDE MICROSATELLITE BASELINE DEVELOPED BY THE CONSORTIUM "GENETIC ANALYSIS OF PACIFIC SALMONIDS." PROPOSED CONTRACTGOR WILL COLLECT TISSUE CLIPS OF JUVENILE OR ADULT CHINOOK SALMON DURING THE PERIOD 7/1/05 - 6/30/06. INDIVDIDUAL SAMPLE DATE, LENGTH, SEX, AND PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OR ADIPOSE FIN CLIPS WILL BE RECORDED AT THE TIME OF COLLECTION.
