C | 186979 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Record PIT-tagged fish in the Deschutes River at the mouth and Sherars Falls antenna arrays | Record full (FDX) and half (HDX) PIT tagged fish entering the Deschutes River at antenna arrays at the mouth of the Deschutes River (site = DRM) and Shears Falls (site = DSF). The site DRM was installed during Feb/March 2013. This antenna array will detect and record PIT tagged fish that swim within the electromagnetic field of the 12 antennas from which the array is comprised. Detected fish will include returning adults and out-migrant juvenile Deschutes River fall Chinook. These antennae will provide data describing migration timing, stray rates, dip ins, and contribute to determination of smolt to adult ratios and abundance estimates. The site, DSF, was installed July 2016. It will be used to detecting adult fall Chinook PIT- tagged as juveniles. | $12,420 | 17.87% | 04/15/2019 | 04/14/2020 |
D | 186980 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Assist ODFW recording data on fall Chinook at Sherars Falls | As adult fall Chinook are removed from the trap at Sherars Falls, they will be anesthetized with CO2, measured, sex recorded, and given a Floy Tag (WE E). The CTWS staff will assist ODFW in recording data. | $0 | 0.00% | 04/15/2019 | 04/14/2020 |
E | 186981 | 158 | Mark/Tag Animals | Assist ODFW with handling fall Chinook Sherars Falls trap and tagging | The CTWSRO will send a technician to assist ODFW at Sherars Falls in implanting returning adult fall Chinook with numbered Floy tags for the mark-recapture estimate. This will allow ODFW to tag for a longer period and handle fish more efficiently when number of captured fish are high. The result will be greater number of tagged fish, which may increase precision of the estimate. | $0 | 0.00% | 04/15/2019 | 11/15/2019 |
F | 186982 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Conduct fall Chinook carcass survey upstream of Sherars Falls | The objective of carcass surveys are to recover fall Chinook marked at Sherars Falls trap by ODFW and CTWS for the mark-recapture escapement estimate of fall Chinook upstream of Sherars Falls. Carcass surveys will be conducted from 161 Rkm to Rkm 70 of the Deschutes River (between Pelton Re-regulating Dam and Sherars Falls). Carcasses will be inspected for coded-wire tags (CWT), PIT tags, and floy tags and various secondary marks. Information gathered from carcass surveys will be shared with various entities to determine exploitation, escapement, and natal basin.
PIT tag data will be submitted to tagging coordinators during 2018-19. A small number (< 10) of out-of-basin CWT are typically recovered from carcasses and reported to the regional database, RMIS.
In an effort to determine where Deschutes River fall Chinook were harvested, the CTWSRO implanted coded-wire tags (CWT)into juvenile outmigrants between 2002 and 2009. The lower Deschutes River, downstream of Sherars Falls, was surveyed for carcasses that may have been implanted with CWTs. The lower river carcass survey was discontinued after 2016 as no more returning adults were expected. The carcass survey now is focused from Sherars Falls to Pelton Re-regulating Dam.
Fall Chinook carcass surveys will be conducted 3 – 5 days per week in the lower Deschutes River from November 2018 through February 2019. Up to two jet boats, each manned with a two-person crew, as well as potentially a crew of riverbank walkers will be employed to recover carcasses. Long- and short-handled gaffs will be used to remove carcasses from the river.
Recovered carcasses will be examined for PIT, Floy, and CWT tags as well as presence of various secondary marks. Biological data collected will include fork and mideye-to-hypural plate lengths, sex, a tissue sample will be collected, and spawning success. Estimated recovery location will also be noted, including reach and commonly used geographical names. After processing, carcasses will be severed in two at the dorsal fin to prevent re-counting during subsequent surveys and returned to the river.
To identify the presence of PIT and CWT tags, all fish will be scanned with handheld detectors, specific to the tag type. Tag numbers will be recorded on the data sheet and saved in the handheld detector to be downloaded at a later date. Recovered PIT tags will be reported to PTAGIS and recovered CWTs will be reported to RMIS after deciphering tag codes using a microscope.
