Monitoring the Migrations of Wild Snake River Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon Juveniles: Fish Collection and Tagging, 2019

During late summer 2019, we collected and tagged fish as part of a multiyear research project to monitor the migrational behavior and survival of wild juvenile spring/summer Chinook salmon in the Snake River Basin. Each study year, we collect wild Chinook parr in natal tributaries, implant them with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags, and release them near their respective collection sites. In this report, we present data on fish collection and tagging efforts during July and August 2019. Detection data will be collected from these tagged fish as they begin migration during spring 2020. These data and the respective analyses will be presented in our 2020 Survival and Timing report. 2021 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) NWFSC (Northwest Fisheries Science Center) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/bnse-4327 Public Domain 1904
