Preliminary Synthesis Conclusions Juvenile salmon migration and survival through freshwater and marine migration Juvenile salmon migration and survival through freshwater and marine migration Mortality of adults migrating back to spawn Mortality of adults migrating back to spawn Extensive migrations highlighting international conservation issues (e.g. sturgeon) Extensive migrations highlighting international conservation issues (e.g. sturgeon) A tool to directly test hypotheses (e.g. how dams, sea lice, UV, wild vs. hatchery, etc. may affect survival) A tool to directly test hypotheses (e.g. how dams, sea lice, UV, wild vs. hatchery, etc. may affect survival)

Distribution Can track marine and anadromous animals 1000’s km in the ocean and 100’s km in freshwater (seamlessly) Can track marine and anadromous animals 1000’s km in the ocean and 100’s km in freshwater (seamlessly) Rate and distance of movement of both salmon and sturgeon have been truly amazing Rate and distance of movement of both salmon and sturgeon have been truly amazing Would like to be better able to identify where species go and survival bottlenecks – need increased resolution of array Would like to be better able to identify where species go and survival bottlenecks – need increased resolution of array POST is proving valuable in association with other tools (e.g. genetics, physiological testing) POST is proving valuable in association with other tools (e.g. genetics, physiological testing) Will continue to expand scope to include other species Will continue to expand scope to include other species

Limits to Knowledge Receiver location – movement between or beyond receivers Receiver location – movement between or beyond receivers Tag size – lower limit restrictions Tag size – lower limit restrictionsSolution? Convergence of acoustic and archival technologies Convergence of acoustic and archival technologies allow animals to upload movement and interaction data from their entire life history with new generation tags and receivers allow animals to upload movement and interaction data from their entire life history with new generation tags and receivers Achievable by 2020, with developments driven by POST, TOPP and the Ocean Tracking Network Achievable by 2020, with developments driven by POST, TOPP and the Ocean Tracking Network Off shelf behaviour will also become knowable with “roving receivers” Off shelf behaviour will also become knowable with “roving receivers”
