Steelhead migration - Tracking steelhead migration from the Columbia River through the Pacific Ocean

Tag juvenile Columbia River steelhead in the Columbia estuary with acoustic tags to determine their marine distributions. This was a small pilot project to test our ability to 1) use fish collected by the Columbia Estuary Purse Seine project as a source for tagging, 2) use a mobile tagging station to tag 100 fish, and 3) perhaps get some detections at various fixed and mobile receivers in estuarine and marine waters. While many fish were detected leaving the estuary, only one was detected in marine waters off Willapa Bay. Since this is a pilot project, no reports were produced.

Field data fisheries independent survey. This project was foronly 1 year and no longer exists.
