Description:The PRD has authorized 21 years (2001-2021) of annual research programs submitted under the salmon and steelhead Limit 7 4(d) rule by four state fishery agencies. As described above in the Consultation History section, the biological opinions from previous years evaluated the effects of the amount of take requested annually in the state Programs. In a change from that approach, this opinion evaluates the range of actual effects (reported take) of the state Programs based on the research conducted over the past 21 years. Since the salmon and steelhead Limit 7 4(d) rule does not have a definitive sunset (or expiration) date, there is no pre-determined end date on this opinion. Under this opinion, the PRD will be responsible for ensuring that submitted state Programs, and the projects in the programs, that fall within the scope of this biological opinion are processed in accordance with the requirements of the opinion.
