Effects of PIT tagging upstream migrating adult Columbia Basin Sockeye Salmon Jeffrey K. Fryer, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Skyeler Folks, Richard Bussanich, and Howie Wright, Okanagan Nation Kim Hyatt, Canada Department of Fisheries and Ocieans Jen Miller, Confederated Colville Tribes

Background CRITFC has been sampling adult salmonids at Bonneville Dam (and other sites) since Recent years have seen an increased demand for sampling driven by Accords-funded CRITFC projects and data users (e.g. fisheries managers). At the same time, we have received increased scrutiny and regulation, decreasing sample sizes (and increasing biases?), particularly at higher water temperatures.

Regulator concerns based on possible impacts of sampling/tagging Impact on non-target fish as a result of trapping (both in traps and bypassed) Impact on sampled fish: Increased mortality (immediate and delayed)* Spawning success

Oregon Shore Fish Counting and PIT tag detection Washington Shore Fish Counting and PIT tag detection Bonneville Dam X X Adult Fish Facility

Bonneville Dam sampling Anesthetize adults using Aqui-S. Scale sample for age analysis. Length measurement. Assess for condition and fin clips. PIT tag (if not already PIT tagged). Allow to recover and volitionally release.

How to assess Bonneville sampling impacts? 1. Immediate mortality. 2. Sockeye not detected after release. 3. Conversion rate to upstream dams compared to conversion rates of Sockeye Salmon tagged as juveniles passing Bonneville Dam. (Virtually 100% go through at least 5 dams with PIT tag arrays in their return migration to natal areas.)

Acoustic and Temperature Tagging at Wells Dam

Sockeye tagging ( ) Under Columbia Basin Accords BPA-funded project, we PIT tag adults at Bonneville Dam and PIT, acoustic (Vemco V9), Floy, and temperature disc tag at Wells Dam. Track the Sockeye upstream to our OKC in-stream array in Canada which detects about 90% of passing Sockeye Salmon.

Tagging Impacts Summary Bonneville: Minimal Priest Rapids: Minimal Wells: 5.2% (comparison to 2012 PRD tagged Sockeye) Wells acoustic tags: 6-28% Wells temperature tags: 13-28%

Other considerations in estimating tagging impacts Tag impact also includes sampling impact which may differ from site to site. (Priest Rapids and Bonneville traps require less handling than Wells and have recovery areas with volitional release. Wells tagged fish are trucked upstream and released into shallow [warm] water.) Sockeye tagged at Wells dams are more mature than those at Priest Rapids and Bonneville dams, possibly affecting survival. Tagging at Priest Rapids and Wells also includes Floy tagging which may lead to additional tagging impacts. In addition, this opens up the issue of fishery selectivity. Traps at dams may also be selective for some particular trait which may affect comparisons. (For instance, the Wells trap selects for larger Sockeye.)
