DESCRIPTION
The WDFW will use this grant to conduct mid-winter mobile PIT Tag surveys on the Tucannon River from the mouth to Panjab Bridge.  The purpose of the survey is to re-sight PIT tagged ESA listed spring Chinook or summer steelhead from the Juvenile Life Cycle Model Study after fall movement but before smolt out-migration occurs.  Re-sight surveys will consist of two to three staff members floating a small-scale PIT Tag antenna via raft or foot survey, fitted with a GPS, with a comment from each detection about micro-habitat utilization.  Data will be verified and summarized for inclusion in the Life Cycle Model Study. Re-sight surveys will greatly increase the PIT Tag data that is usable for the Life Cycle Model Study as it will greatly increase the sample size of PIT tagged fish present between the PIT Tag arrays after fall movement, and will increase the precision of the survival estimates between reaches.  As seen in the past, detections from the PIT tag arrays alone on juveniles are limited by stream depth and the tag orientation as juvenile migrate.  These mobile surveys will alleviate the much of the uncertainty regarding fish movement, should provide greater information on the types of habitat that is preferred over the winter.
