Evaluation of the PIT-Tag Detection Arrays in the Priest Rapids Dam Adult Ladders Steve Anglea, Anthony Carson – Biomark, Inc. Eric Lauver – Grant County PUD

Objectives The overall goal of the project is to provide Grant County PUD with detection of upstream migrating anadromous salmonids at Priest Rapids Dam –Detection efficiency specification of 95% with a Destron Technologies TX1400ST “supertag” Estimate detection efficiency of ladder arrays based on detection of salmonids from migration years

Priest Rapids Dam

Adult PIT Tag Detection Adult Trap

Adult PIT Tag Detection Two detection weirs in non-overflow segment of each ladder –Left Ladder : Weirs 3 and 7 –Right Ladder: Weirs 3 and 5 –Two submerged orifices in each weir –Inside dimensions of antenna range: 22.5” x 45” to 24” x 55” Mounted to “video count box” at Weir 3 (Right Ladder) and Weir 7 (Left Ladder) Mounted to wall at other detection weirs Operational in spring 2003

Left Ladder Adult Trap Denil entrance in Weir 4 orifice Sample platform between Weirs 1 and 2 Not scanned for PIT tags Fish returned to river at ladder exit

Video Count Box Weir 3 (Right) and Weir 7 (Left) Operational in 2005

Video Count Box Antenna 6” aluminum transition 5’ 1” channel Internal shield

Wall Mounted Antennas

Two Weir Detection Probability Detection of run-of-river adult salmonids Assumptions –Fish detected traveling in an upstream direction –Fish continued traveling upstream after being detected at downstream weir P 7 = probability of detection at Weir 7: P 3 = probability of detection at Weir 3: –m = number detected at both weirs –n 1 = number detected at Weir 7 –n 2 = number detected at Weir 3 P = 1 – (1-p 7 )(1-p 3 )

Future Actions/Recommendations Shorten length of exciter cables for antennas mounted to video count boxes Re-evaluate detection efficiency with “supertags” Compare estimates of transit time, re-ascension, DE, trap delay,… to results from other locations Require scanning of salmonids caught in trap for PIT Tags
