AI Contract Overview
Starting in Spring 2026, the contractor will be responsible for receiving and rearing approximately 200,000 to 400,000 sockeye salmon fry annually at Tatsamenie Lake, British Columbia, following guidelines set by the Transboundary Technical Committee and Enhancement Sub-committee. The project involves in-lake rearing while managing risks of disease and predation through monitoring and prevention measures to ensure successful outcomes. Concurrently, the contractor will carry out a smolt mark recapture enumeration project from mid-May to early September, aimed at accurately estimating the sockeye salmon smolt outmigration from the lake. This includes otolith sampling to determine smolt origins and age composition. The contract, issued by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), represents the first year of a potential multi-year engagement with options to extend through 2029 at DFO’s discretion. The contractor must be fully self-sufficient, providing all personnel, including fry rearing crews, camp cooks, and onsite supervision, along with all logistical support and mobilization of the worksite, as DFO lacks the necessary assets or infrastructure to support the project. The contractor is also tasked with planning and executing the mark-recapture programs following specific methodological requirements detailed separately. The solicitation period opens in April 2026 with a response deadline in mid-May.
