Cost-ErrecOveness Analysis: Recovery Measure Marginal 

 BenefltAlosts 



> Potential recovay measure fish benefits and economic costs have been compared using 

 standard life-cycle model assumptions and measure costs derived fiom the NMFS 

 Economics Technical Committee, the Coips of Engineers, and Boimeville. This analysis 

 suggests that the most cost-effective measures — highest level of fish benefits for the dollars 

 spent— are smolt transportation improvements, in-river harvest reductions, predator control 

 actions, and other measures. The least cost-efiiective measures are reservoir drawdowns.
