Annual Stock Assessment – Coded Wire Tag Program
(ODFW & WDFW)
BPA Project Numbers:198201302 and 198201304
Project DescriptionApply coded-wire tags to production releases of coho and chinook salmon
at WDFW and ODFW Columbia Basin hatcheries for stock assessment of hatchery and wild salmon populations.
Proposed Tagging Locations for 2007
Tagged Chinook and Coho at 6 WDFW and 10 ODFW hatcheries.
Project PurposePost-release Monitoring Tool for Hatchery fish
• Mitigation Hatchery Effectiveness• Smolt to Adult Survival
Basin-wide Coded Wire Tag Data Application
• Monitor ESA Fishery Impacts• Run Size Forecasts•Abundance of Wild Fish on Spawning Grounds•Identify Straying of Hatchery Fish•Harvest Estimates by Stock•Age Composition and Size at Age
Project ResultsApply Coded Wire Tags (ODFW & WDFW)
• From 2003 to 2005 about 7.5 million fish tagged• Average 2.5 million per year
Recover Tags from Adult Fish (ODFW & WDFW)
• From 2002 to 2004 over 35,000 tags recovered• Average about 12,000 tags per year
