National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Evaluation of Fish Movements, Migration Patterns and Population Abundance with Streamwidth PIT Tag Interrogation Systems.

Abstract	Two remote Streamwidth PIT tag Interrogation systems (SPIs) were established in Abernathy Creek to test the feasibility of these systems for generating movement, migration, survival and smolt production estimates for salmonids. SPIs were installed and operating before any PIT tagged fish were released in the creek. Systems were designed to report all detected PIT tag codes with a time stamp to a regional database. When used in combination, the overall creek detection efficiency was 97% with 95% confidence intervals of 91-100%. SPI efficiency of 23 mm PIT tag detection ranged from 55-100%. Efficiencies were site dependent, where one SPI averaged 73% and another averaged 89%. SPI efficiency of PIT tag detection was not completely dependent on electronics noise levels or environmental conditions. A backpack PIT tag detector was also developed and tested for efficiency of PIT tag detection.
