Abstract:
Radiotelemetry has been used by University of Idaho and research partners to study migration and dam passage behavior of adult salmon and steelhead in the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) since the 1990s. During fifteen return years in the period 1996-2014, more than 26,800 adult salmonids were tagged at Bonneville Dam and monitored as they migrated through the FCRPS and into tributaries. Monitoring varied through time in response to evolving study objectives and there is an extensive series of technical reports and peer-reviewed papers that have summarized annual and multi-year study results. However, there has not been a single-source compilation of the data, methods, and results across the nearly two-decade time series. This document and supporting appendices and databases address four primary objectives: Metadata: Document radiotelemetry metadata, including antenna deployment sites, fish handling and tagging protocols, and telemetry data processing and quality control procedures; Database Delivery: Compile and standardize all data associated with the radio-tagged fish, including filtered (i.e., ‘coded’) radiotelemetry and PIT-tag detection histories into a master database for each species and run; Bibliography: Provide a bibliography and key-word index of technical reports and peer- reviewed papers associated with the radiotelemetry studies to expedite researcher and manager access to existing results; FCRPS Adult Passage Metrics: Generate selected adult salmon and steelhead passage behavior and passage performance metrics for all study years and species at eight FCRPS projects: Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, McNary, Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, and Lower Granite dams.
