| 70. Install Fish Monitoring Equipment |
Active |
This work element should be used as little as possible and has been reserved almost exclusively for the PTAGIS project, which installs fish monitoring equipment for use by NOAA Fisheries and the Army Corps of Engineers. Please contact your COR before adding this work element into your SOW.
In most instances, rotary screw trap installation (and removal) should be a milestone under the WE for which the equipment will be used, typically 157. Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data, or 158. Mark/Tag Animals.
This work element should be used as little as possible, since BPA needs to track the true cost and effort needed to collect data or mark animals. The PTAGIS project is the exception to this, which installs fish monitoring equipment for use by NOAA Fisheries and the Army Corps of Engineers. |

Secondary RM&E strategies are used when data collected for one strategy also supports other strategies. For example, Coded Wire Tag monitoring used for Harvest management may also be used to support the effectiveness of hatchery programs. If there is a secondary focal strategy different from the primary focal strategy, select it here. If not applicable, uncheck the metric.
Please note the focal strategies are only for the work YOU conduct, not how others may use it in the future. Additional details on strategies and management questions may be found at https://www.cbfish.org/ProgramStrategy.mvc/Index.

| 156. Develop RM&E Methods and Designs |
Active |
Work to identify and/or develop monitoring methods, designs, or associated tools. This includes statistical and sampling designs; protocols for field or remote sampling, data analysis, lab procedure, reporting standards, and quality assurance/quality control; development of data definitions and metadata; conceptual or simulation models; software development; tagging and other monitoring equipment; and generally any other work that prepares for the implementation of actual data collection/generation. Protocols, including temporal and spatial designs, data collection and analysis methods, and related metrics or indicators, will be “Published” in monitoringresources.org. Does not apply to producing an RM&E plan itself (see 174. Produce Plan). Does not apply to models that are developed in the course of analyzing and interpreting existing data, such as multivariate models (see 162. Analyze/Interpret Data).
Do not use this WE to describe field training activities. Instead, use the WE that applies to the activity to be conducted. Eg. Electrofishing should be in WE #157 |

| 158. Mark/Tag Animals |
Active |
Covers activities integral to placing marks/tags on animals. Recognizing that this is a subset of data collection/generation, it has been separated to facilitate tracking the sometimes-significant costs associated with animal marking/tagging.
This also covers Installation of a weir, trap, electronic portal, or other equipment or facility used to monitor fish passage or to collect juvenile or adult fish. This describes the installation of relatively permanent fixed facilities as well as more mobile equipment, like rotary screw traps for smolts.
This work element includes capture and bio-sampling activities when they support a primary purpose of placing the mark/tag. It also includes monitoring the effects of the mark/tag on the animals (e.g., tagging mortality), the mark/tag retention/detectability, other QA/QC for the mark/tag data, and creation of associated metadata. It does not include capture activities when the primary purpose is to collect biological data, and does not include subsequent mark/tag observations and analysis.
When tagging fish, a separate instance of 158. Mark/Tag Animals must be used for different species. Also, if the marks are different by life stage (juveniles vs. adults), you should use a separate instance of 158. Mark/Tag Animals for each life stage. Insertion of a CWT in fry, followed by insertion of a PIT tag in the same fish as a parr, would be considered as both occurring under the “juvenile” life stage, and thus could be covered under the same 158. Mark/Tag Animals.
If the marks will be applied to fish in a closed system, and fish will not be released, simply include your marking/tagging technique as a milestone under 157. Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data.
For the use of this WE, a tag/mark is defined as something that is applied or done to the animal. “Genetic tags” do not fit this definition. Genetic sampling should be addressed under 157. Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data. |

| 159. Transfer/Consolidate Regionally Standardized Data |
Active |
This work is for transferring or reformatting data from one spreadsheet/database to another, typically primary data from a field or lab site to a higher-level, secondary regional or national database. This may also include derived data if such data are calculated by entities other than the secondary database. It includes both the act of sending and receiving, hardware/software needs for automated uploads/downloads (e.g., transmission and relay links for regular nightly uploads from remote telemonitoring sites), the development and application of data exchange protocols (including QA/QC), and any formatting and documentation required to make the transfer. It does not include initial data entry but it does include manipulating (e.g., reformatting and, if appropriate, georeferencing) data at the receiving end.
This work element explicitly reinforces the importance of transferring data to databases where they will be maintained and accessible. Capturing data above the field or lab level includes acquisition in electronic formats, entering data into a computer from historical records, digitizing images, and other methods for converting information to digital format for later dissemination or analysis. This work element may include generating secondary/derived data when those data are stored in regional databases for access and use by other parties. |

Often involving tests of statistical significance, this work element also may include modeling, indices, and synthesis. Typically culminates in resource management recommendations presented in a report of research/evaluation findings or analyses presented as formal publications. For the effort to publish your study, also use 183. Produce Journal Article.

Separate work elements should be used for each document. If you do not have a proposed title (or subject), you may not be far enough along in the data analysis to be using this work element. This work element applies only to manuscripts being submitted for possible peer-reviewed publication. Other technical analyses should be included as part of a project progress report 132.
