Adult PIT Project Design mikeb 2/25/2019

Adult PIT - Design Concerns Avoid Overflow weirs. Install in noise free environments. Prevent leakage of water into coils. Do not impede fish passage. The smaller the orifice diameter the better the detection rate.

Project Goals Install Prototype Adult PIT-tag detection equipment in both fishways at Wells Dam (winter of 2001-02). Evaluate detectors during the 2002 adult migration. Fall 2002: Determine whether additional detectors are needed and whether prototype design is appropriate for site.

Communication Infrastructure

Interrogation System Goals 99% Detection Efficiency for tagged adult salmon and steelhead by the spring of 2003. Real-time Data feed to PSMFC database. Do not impede or delay fish passage.

Interrogation Evaluation Goals Estimate detection rates for sockeye tagged at Wells Dam as adults. Estimate detection rates for run-of-river sockeye, steelhead, chinook and coho. Determine whether there are species specific difference in detection rates. Determine whether the adult PIT interrogations system impedes or delays adult fish passage.

Sockeye tagged at east ladder trap at Wells Dam

Interrogation System Results* Wells Tagged Adults: 0.9998 (0.9990-1.0000) Run-of-River Adults: Chinook (0.9977-1.0000) Coho (1.0000) Steelhead (0.9899-1.0000) Sockeye (1.0000) East Ladder: (0.9959-1.0000) West Ladder: (0.9990-1.0000) No significant differences in the rates of detection by species or between the east and west ladders. * All results reported with a 95% Confidence Interval

Interrogation System Adult Passage/Travel Time Results No increased incidence of fallback within the ladders. No obvious accumulations of fish downstream of coils. Per Weir Travel Time: Chinook (1.642 – 1.350) Coho (1.325 - 0.792) Steelhead (0.983 – 0.892) Sockeye (5.183 – 1.675) Per Weir travel times not significantly different before and after installation of adult PIT-system.

Conclusions Detection rates for all species exceeded the preseason goal of 99%. Real-time data feed to PSMFC successful. No increase in travel time, delay or rate of fallback within the ladder observed in 2002 or 2003. No need to modify the existing in-ladder system.

Conclusions (Continued) No leakage into coils. Noise events can be intense but are very short and infrequent. Recommendation to install automated detectors at brood collection traps located downstream of the PIT-detectors.
