| Summary: | This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and University of British Columbia (UBC) Raby Coho Salmon Tagging, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals. If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=NEP.RABY). ... : Abstract:In August 2012, we conducted a pilot study in the Juan de Fuca strait where we tagged 50 wild adult coho salmon with VEMCO V8 acoustic transmitters (PhD student Raby, technicians Stamplecoskie, Hills, Thompson). This effectively is the first work anywhere on tracking the homeward migration of coho salmon in the marine environment. The fish we tagged were biopsied for DNA and we anticipate that we tagged a mixture of American (Puget Sound) and Canadian (Fraser River) stocks. This project utilized the acoustic receiver lines currently operating in the Juan de Fuca strait, the Fraser River mouth, the lower Fraser River, and likely also an American line operating in Puget Sound (tracking data to be downloaded). The project was a collaboration with industry partners (Area B Seine Society), the Pacific Salmon Foundation, and DFO, with the objective of generating a bycatch mortality estimate for coho salmon captured in purse seine fisheries that target sockeye and pink salmon. As a research platform, we ... |
