Title:

C: 158 - Determine Bull Trout Life History Type (Fluvial or Resident) In Warm Springs River & Shitike Creek

Description:

We will determine bull trout movement patterns in Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek to determine life history type by implanting 50 juveniles each in the Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek with half duplex Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) . Movements will be monitored using established PIT tag readers in Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek. Under optimal conditions, all females would retain PIT tags and multi-year spawners would be included in the analysis. However, we expect shedding of PIT tags to be minimal and not effect the outcome of the experiment. Surgical procedures are based upon University of Idaho techniques.

WE Agreement Type:

Deliverable Specification:

Tag age-2+ bull trout

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental Compliance Requirements Complete	10/1/2010	5/30/2011	Concluded	Jen Graham	8/20/2010 10:35:34 AM
		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 (completion can be based on pre-existing environmental documentation from BPA).
B		PIT Tag Up To 50 Age 2+ Juvenile Bull Trout In Warm Springs River	6/1/2011	9/30/2011	Concluded	Jen Graham	8/24/2010 9:43:11 AM
		Description: We will PIT tag a minimum of fifty juvenile bull trout collected from the Warm Springs River & Shitike Creek. Bull trout will be collected by hand dipping during night snorkel surveys. Juvenile bull trout will be tagged due to our inability to collect large numbers of adults. Tagged juveniles will be age 2+. Collected fish will be anesthetized using tricaine methansulphonate (MS222; 50-70 ppm). A small incision off center of the ventral mid line will be made using a scalpel and the half duplex PIT tag will be inserted into the abdominal cavity. Fish will be allowed to recover for a minimum of 6 to 12 hrs in submerged live box before being released to the stream at the point of capture.
