The overall goal of the research is to determine the extent to which the hydropower system impacts anadromous fish, with emphasis on how it influences the salmonid life cycle and spawner to spawner and spawner to recruit relationships. To this end, our research includes the use of PIT-tags within free-flowing streams and rivers, and acoustic tags usable in small fish. Analytical efforts include evaluating adult returns of salmonids PIT-tagged as juveniles to determine the extent of influences of habitat, hatcheries, hydropower, and ocean conditions on return rates.
See a recent 2005 Acoustic Tag Detection System Development publication entitled: Passage of adult and juvenile salmonids through Federal Columbia River Power System dams.
