Contract Description:
This project addresses how to expand the current fish-tracking technologies to enable the fisheries community to successfully carry out the actions, research, and monitoring activities outlined in the 2000 and 2004 BiOp, 2004 UPA, Fish and Wildlife Program, and 2003 systemwide passage summary.  The goal of the project is to satisfy these needs by developing interrogation systems that will collect data on migrating juvenile and adult salmonids through mainstem Columbia River Basin (CRB) dams including juvenile salmon transiting surface-bypass systems and all life-stages transiting small streams.  These fish-tracking technologies are then used to assess the effectiveness of management actions and strategies for recovery of ESA-listed fish populations.  For example, development of PIT-tag systems that will work in large streams or even rivers are essential for determining the effectiveness of all types of restoration programs on stock recovery supported by BPA.  In addition, these system would help delineate the different types of interactions between hatchery and wild stocks in the field.  

Within this project, we propose to  develop technologies that help monitor the stocks at critical (if possible, all) life stages and critical locations.   For example, since many juvenile salmonids now use spillways (including those outfitted with RSWs or TSWs), or turbines during their migration, we are currently unable to monitor the tagged fish using them which means fewer data points for the different survival models.  Therefore, we are proposing to start or continue development programs for interrogation systems (tags, antennas, receivers, etc) that will enable us to monitor these migrating fish through these pathways.  

Besides project administration, the proposed work for the performance period (December 2007-November 2008)  covers three main research areas or work elements:

1. Continue the development of an interrogation system for detecting fish using spillways, TSWs, and turbines
2. Start the development of interrogation systems for detecting fish using TSWs and turbines
3. Continue the development of in-stream interrogation systems -- antennas and multiplexing transceiver
