Steelhead. Initial actions related to steelhead will be limited to Anadromous Salmonids habitat enhancements in the lower Yuba River, as established in the Action Plan. The Settlement Agreement will include a process to study and resolve biological and genetic risks, as well as related technical and management issues, including impacts to and from angling activities, associated with reintroduction of steelhead into the North Yuba River upstream of New Bullards Bar Dam. The Settlement Agreement will provide that, if the initial spring-run Chinook salmon reintroduction proves successful, and the studies resolve technical issues and demonstrate that reintroduction of steelhead is consistent with the guiding principles stated in Term 5.5, then the Parties will pursue steelhead reintroduction to be phased into the North Yuba River reintroduction program upstream of New Bullards Bar Dam.

Steelhead. The current North American range of steelhead extends from western Alaska, south to coastal streams near the U.S. border with Mexico. NMFS designated 15 separate DPSs of steelhead in the watersheds of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and California. The steelhead in the vicinity of the Xxxxxxx Ranch belong to the CCC steelhead DPS, which includes all of the coastal streams from the Russian River south to Aptos Creek in Santa Xxxx County, California, plus all of the watersheds entering San Francisco and San Xxxxx Xxxx with the exception of the Sacramento River. CCC steelhead was listed under the ESA as a threatened species in 1997 (62 FR 43937). Xxxxxx et al. (2008) identified 37 separate independent (or potentially independent) populations of steelhead in the CCC DPS, including six in the Russian River basin. The Russian River is the largest watershed within the CCC steelhead DPS and its six populations are estimated to have collectively supported a run of 32,000 adult fish, representing about 30% of the total historical (pre-development) number of steelhead in the entire DPS (Xxxxxx et al. 2008, revised figures 2012). Other estimates suggest the Russian supported runs of 50,000+ adult steelhead (NMFS 2008). Wild steelhead are found in many of the tributaries to the Russian River; however, the estimated annual return of adult wild steelhead is now around 4,000 adult fish (XxXxxx 2001).

Steelhead. Steelhead can reach up to 55 pounds (25 kg) in weight and 45 inches (120 cm) in length, though the average size is much smaller. They are usually dark- olive in color, shading to silvery-white on the underside with a heavily speckled body and a pink to red stripe running along their sides. Steelhead spend anywhere from one to five years in saltwater, however, two to three years are most common (Xxxxx et al. 1996). Some return as "half-xxxxxxxx" that over-winter one season in freshwater before returning to the ocean in the spring. Only “winter” steelhead are found in the CCC steelhead DPS. The timing of upstream migration is correlated with seasonal high flows and associated lower water temperatures. Steelhead begin returning to the Russian River in December, with the run continuing into April. The minimum stream depth necessary for successful upstream migration is about 18 cm (Xxxxxxxx 1972). The preferred water velocity for upstream migration is in the range of 40-90 cm/s, with a maximum velocity, beyond which upstream migration is not likely to occur, of 240 cm/s (Xxxxxxxx 1972). Most spawning takes place from January through April. In contrast to other species of the genus Oncorhynchus, steelhead may spawn more than one season before dying (i.e., they are iteroparous). Most adult steelhead in a run are first time spawners, although Shapovalov and Xxxx (1954) reported that repeat spawners are relatively numerous (about 17%) in California streams. Steelhead spawn in cool, clear streams featuring suitable water depth, gravel size, and current velocity. Xxxxxx and Bjornn (1979) found that gravels of 1.3-11.7 cm in diameter were preferred by spawning steelhead. The survival of embryos is reduced when fines smaller than 6.4 millimeters (mm) comprise 20 to 25 percent of the substrate. Fry typically emerge from the gravel two to three weeks after hatching (Xxxxxxxx 1986). Upon emerging from the gravel, fry rear in edgewater habitats and move gradually into pools and riffles as they grow larger. Instream cover is an important habitat component for juvenile steelhead both as velocity refuge and as a means of avoiding predation (Xxxxxx 1991). However, steelhead also use riffles and other habitats not strongly associated with cover more than other salmonids during summer rearing. Young steelhead feed on a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial insects, and emerging fry are sometimes preyed upon by older juveniles. In winter, they become inactive and hide in any av...

Steelhead. It is possible that adult steelhead could be encountered at the xxxx. From 2012 to 2016 the xxxx operated under a ‘not likely to adversely affect’ informal consultation letter issued by NOAA Fisheries on 11 July 2013. As of March 2017, xxxx operations and effects on ESA-listed Upper Columbia River spring Chinook salmon and steelhead are covered by CCT’s Tribal Resource Management Plan or TRMP (NMFS 2017) and pursuant to NOAA’s Tribal 4(d) Rule (50 C.F.R. § 223.209). NOAA evaluated CCT’s TRMP and supplemental materials and concluded that the activities described therein, including xxxx operations, qualify for limitation of take prohibitions provided those activities are implemented in accordance with the terms and reporting requirements described in a NOAA TRMP determination letter dated 2 March 2017. Prior to September 30, the emphasis will be to preempt encounters, minimize contact, and expedite passage in the direction of movement. Preemptive measures will include tower and bank observations and boat surveys below the xxxx during operational periods to look for approaching steelhead, and staff will also watch the vicinity of the xxxx for approaching steelhead. The TOG will be notified immediately of any steelhead observed. Xxxx operations will continue until or unless a TOG member requests a meeting and that meeting results in the TOG making a decision to cease xxxx operations. Steelhead will be provided passage at the xxxx in the direction of their approach movement by opening gates or raising pickets. Information collected on sockeye and Chinook interactions with the xxxx will inform the operation regarding options for steelhead, and relevant data will be shared with the TOG on a routine basis. Data will be summarized appropriately to assist in trend analysis. Initial data may support that no change in operations is necessary. Steelhead take limits are described in CCT’s TRMP (NMFS 2017), Examples of incidents involving steelhead which would result in temporary termination of xxxx operations: 1. Three steelhead are impinged or gilled/stuck on the xxxx during a sampling interval of 7 days, xxxx operations are terminated, TOG representative is notified, who will then notify all other TOG members.

Steelhead. 1. On August 18, 1997 (62 FR 4393), NMFS listed the Southern California steelhead ESU as endangered and the Central California and South-Central California steelhead ESUs as threatened. 2. Section 9 take prohibitions were automatically applied to the endangered Southern California ESU at the time of listing. 3. NMFS is developing an ESA 4(d) interim rule that will apply the section 9 take prohibitions, with certain exceptions, to the Central California and South-Central California ESUs. An interim final rule is expected to publish in the Federal Register in the next 60 days. 4. At the time of the steelhead listing, NMFS announced that it was delaying its proposal for designating critical habitat. NMFS expects to designate critical habitat for these ESUs within the 1-year period allowed for in the ESA. 5. On August 18, 1997 (62 FR 43974), NMFS delayed its decision to list Central Valley, Northern California, and Klamath Mountains Province steelhead ESUs for 6 months. Accordingly, NMFS expects to publish in the Federal Register a final listing decision for these ESUs by February 18, 1998. If any of these steelhead ESUs are listed as threatened, NMFS will promulgate appropriate ESA 4(d) interim rules to apply the section 9 take prohibitions.

  • Investment Advisory Services The Adviser undertakes to act as investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are "interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell, lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

  • Investment Management Services (a) The Manager shall manage the Fund’s assets subject to and in accordance with the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and any directions which the Trust’s Board of Trustees may issue from time to time. In pursuance of the foregoing, the Manager shall make all determinations with respect to the investment of the Fund’s assets and the purchase and sale of its investment securities, and shall take such steps as may be necessary to implement the same. Such determinations and services shall include determining the manner in which any voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to the Fund’s investment securities shall be exercised. The Manager shall render or cause to be rendered regular reports to the Trust, at regular meetings of its Board of Trustees and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, of (i) the decisions made with respect to the investment of the Fund’s assets and the purchase and sale of its investment securities, (ii) the reasons for such decisions and (iii) the extent to which those decisions have been implemented. (b) The Manager, subject to and in accordance with any directions which the Trust’s Board of Trustees may issue from time to time, shall place, in the name of the Fund, orders for the execution of the Fund’s securities transactions. When placing such orders, the Manager shall seek to obtain the best net price and execution for the Fund, but this requirement shall not be deemed to obligate the Manager to place any order solely on the basis of obtaining the lowest commission rate if the other standards set forth in this section have been satisfied. The parties recognize that there are likely to be many cases in which different brokers are equally able to provide such best price and execution and that, in selecting among such brokers with respect to particular trades, it is desirable to choose those brokers who furnish research, statistical, quotations and other information to the Fund and the Manager in accordance with the standards set forth below. Moreover, to the extent that it continues to be lawful to do so and so long as the Board of Trustees determines that the Fund will benefit, directly or indirectly, by doing so, the Manager may place orders with a broker who charges a commission for that transaction which is in excess of the amount of commission that another broker would have charged for effecting that transaction, provided that the excess commission is reasonable in relation to the value of “brokerage and research services” (as defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided by that broker. Accordingly, the Trust and the Manager agree that the Manager shall select brokers for the execution of the Fund’s transactions from among: (i) Those brokers and dealers who provide quotations and other services to the Fund, specifically including the quotations necessary to determine the Fund’s net assets, in such amount of total brokerage as may reasonably be required in light of such services; and (ii) Those brokers and dealers who supply research, statistical and other data to the Manager or its affiliates which the Manager or its affiliates may lawfully and appropriately use in their investment management capacities, which relate directly to securities, actual or potential, of the Fund, or which place the Manager in a better position to make decisions in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets and securities, whether or not such data may also be useful to the Manager and its affiliates in managing other portfolios or advising other clients, in such amount of total brokerage as may reasonably be required. (c) The Manager shall render regular reports to the Trust, not more frequently than quarterly, of how much total brokerage business has been placed by the Manager, on behalf of the Fund, with brokers falling into each of the categories referred to above and the manner in which the allocation has been accomplished. (d) The Manager agrees that no investment decision will be made or influenced by a desire to provide brokerage for allocation in accordance with the foregoing, and that the right to make such allocation of brokerage shall not interfere with the Manager’s paramount duty to obtain the best net price and execution for the Fund. (e) Decisions on proxy voting shall be made by the Manager unless the Board of Trustees determines otherwise. Pursuant to its authority, the Manager shall have the power to vote, either in person or by proxy, all securities in which the Fund may be invested from time to time, and shall not be required to seek or take instructions from the Fund with respect thereto. The Manager shall not be expected or required to take any action other than the rendering of investment-related advice with respect to lawsuits involving securities presently or formerly held in the Fund, or the issuers thereof, including actions involving bankruptcy. In the case of class action suits involving issuers held in the Fund, the Manager may include information about the Fund for purposes of participating in any settlements.
