Title:
K: 158 - PIT Tag Juvenile Chinook Salmon
Description:
We will PIT tag approximately 4,500 juvenile spring chinook (yearling and subyearling) in the John Day River basin. Approximately 1,000 juvenile Chinook outmigrants will be PIT tagged at the Mainstem Screw trap operated under Work Element D. Another roughly 1,500 Chinook smolts will be PIT tagged during the seining under Work Element H. Approximately 2,000 Chinook parr will be PIT tagged in the Upper Mainstem John Day River during August 2020 in cooperation with the Warm Springs Tribes. Data from PIT tagged parr will be used to estimate abundance, growth, and survival. These data provide important population vital rate information, and provide a measure of population response to habitat alterations.
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Deliverable Specification:
We will capture and PIT tag approximately 2,500 wild spring Chinook out-migrants and 2,000 spring Chinook parr.

Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff.
B OrderTags Order PIT tags in TDI system 9/1/2020 10/1/2020 Concluded Eric Andersen (Inactive) 9/30/2019 2:04:24 PM
Description: Submit tag request in the Tag Distribution and Inventory application (TDI) at http://www.ptagis.org/services/tag-distribution-inventory indicating when the tags are needed (one or multiple shipments). Tag orders should be placed during September and October for shipment any time during the fiscal year. Funding for the tags occurs at the project level.
C PIT Tag Spring Migrating Juvenile Chinook at Rotary Screw Traps 2/1/2020 7/1/2020 Concluded Eric Andersen (Inactive) 9/30/2019 2:04:24 PM
Description: The rotary screw traps are operated during two main seasons. This tagging will continue through the spring and early summer migration period. A total of approximately 1,000 juvenile Chinook outmigrants will be PIT tagged among the screw traps operated under Work Element D and between the spring and fall migration periods.
D PIT Tag Spring Migrating Chinook Smolts while seining 2/1/2020 5/15/2020 Concluded Eric Andersen (Inactive) 9/30/2019 2:04:24 PM
Description: PIT tag an additional 1,500 Chinook salmon smolts while boat seining the Mainstem John Day River from rkm 270 to rkm 298 (Kimberly - Spray) (Work element H). The reach will be sampled multiple times weekly from February 1 to May 15. Capture, mark, and release spring Chinook salmon smolts emigrating from all John Day River populations. Marked smolts will be released upstream from the seining reach for mark-recapture estimation of seining efficiency.
E PIT tag Chinook parr during the summer 7/1/2020 9/25/2020 Concluded Eric Andersen (Inactive) 9/30/2019 2:04:24 PM
Description: We will capture and PIT tag approximately 2,000 Chinook parr in the Upper Mainstem John Day River in cooperation with the Warm Springs Tribes. Tagged parr will provide estimates of survival, growth, migration timing, and ultimately evaluation of habitat actions.
F PIT Tag Fall and Winter Migrating Juvenile Chinook at Rotary Screw Traps 10/1/2020 1/31/2021 Concluded Eric Andersen (Inactive) 9/30/2019 2:04:24 PM
Description: The rotary screw traps are operated during two main seasons. This tagging will continue through the Fall migration period (October 1 to January 31). A total of approximately 1,000 juvenile Chinook outmigrants will be PIT tagged among the screw traps operated under Work Element D and between the spring and fall migration periods.
