The Columbia River Basin Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) Tag Release Sites data set provides PIT Tag Release sites including the hydrological unit, total kilometers, and river kilometers. The PIT Tag Release Sites data set is provided courtesy of Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. The PIT Tag Release Sites data set is featured at the the University of Washington, School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences, Columbia Basin Research, Data Access Real Time (DART) program. DART provides an interactive data resource designed for research and management purposes relating to the Columbia Basin salmon populations and river environment. Currently, daily data plus historic information dating back to 1910 is accessible online. DART focuses on the Columbia Basin dams and fish passage. Detailed information is brought in daily from federal, state and tribal databases to provide a comprehensive information tool. DART generates user-specified data files which can be saved to a user's personal directory in a variety of formats designed to be compatible with most spreadsheet programs. In addition, DART has graphing capabilities which allow for the visual comparison of multiple variables on one plot. These output formats are available for the following data resources related to fish passage, PIT tags and the river environment.
