Craig D. Rabe 1 Doug Nelson 1 Kenneth F. Tiffan 2 Russell W. Perry 2 William P. Connor 3 Frank L. Mullins Survival, Growth, and Tag Retention in Age-0 Chinook Salmon Implanted with 8-mm, 9-mm, and 12-mm PIT Tags

Presentation Overview: Introduction Methods (differences between studies) Results (Ken) Discussion (Ken)

Introduction Use of PIT tags and PIT tag detection systems in salmonid-based research in the CRB Limitations of the 12-mm PIT tag – Tag size vs. fish size

Introduction Advent of smaller tags Primary Study Objective: Evaluate size-related effects of PIT tagging Age-0 Chinook Salmon

Study Objectives Study I Objectives: – Compare survival, growth, and tag retention within three size groups of fish implanted with 9-mm tags Study II Objectives: – Test for tagging effects on survival, temporal changes in growth, and tag retention in one size group (40–49 mm) of fish tagged with either the 8-mm or 9-mm tags, and in two size groups (50–59 mm, 60–69 mm) of fish tagged with 8-mm, 9-mm, or 12-mm tags

Growth – Study I

Growth – Study II

Discussion and Conclusions No differences in growth or survival that we consider biologically significant Not withholding feed in Study II probably affected tag retention Lab results may not indicate fish performance in the field Field considerations: varying temperatures, velocity, predation, greater capture and handling stress Detectability in the field and at dams will ultimately determine the usefulness of smaller tags Growth rate of tagged fish slightly lower than controls for first 7 days in Study II, but no differences thereafter. Smaller tags hold promise for being useful in representing a greater portion of a juvenile fish population.
