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. |
