PIT tag distribution

• PTAGIS provides distribution of all NWPPC FWP PIT tags.

• Provides central management and repository for lookup of “orphan” tags- tags detected anywhere with no release record submitted by a FWP project.

• No overhead $’s charged on purchase of PIT tags.

• Provides economies of scale by purchasing tags in large numbers

Separation by Code (SxC)

• SxC Capability developed by NMFS (FWP

198331900)

• Coordination responsibilities transferred

from NMFS to PTAGIS in ‘00

• PTAGIS provides coordination, support

and implementation of projects that

require Separation by Code- “ SxC”.– 1 FWP Project

– 6 USACE Projects

• E.g., Collect N fish per day (not to exceed Y fish per

day) at Bonneville Dam. Put fish detected at three

facilities upstream in the east sample tank and fish

not detected until here into the west sample tank.

basin-wide scope

PTAGIS provides O & M of the PIT Tag Interrogation Systems throughout the basin.

16 July 2002

interrogation data collection

• Goal: 99% Up-time of interrogation system component

• Near-real-time data availability -- Data collected from interrogation sites every three hours

• 24 hour response time for system malfunctions

• PTAGIS computers scan hundreds of thousands of records per day to identify detection problems throughout the basin using many custom built tools ( O & M Systems)

• Over 30 interrogation sites basin-wide – more planned

• 40 million interrogation records collected to date

future of the project

• Expect the number of PIT tags used to continue to increase.

• Expect the number of interrogation sites (adult, remote/ in-stream, full-flow bypass, Hi-Q) to increase.

• Expect type of electronic detection devices and marking equipment to increase.

• PTAGIS needs to expand staff and hire contractors to: -support expanding interrogation equipment basin wide -modernize data tools (web, SxC, O&M systems, etc.) -provide coordination & support for expanding SxC projects -upgrade infrastructure to decrease scheduled server down time -provide the continuity in knowledge base required to support NWPPC PIT tagging projects into the future.

• Project Managers from all entities need a better forum to coordinate PIT tagging requirements

16 July 2002

conclusion

• PTAGIS provides the basic infrastructure that supports the all NWPPC PIT tagging projects.

• The project provides near real time access to all PIT tag data entities

• The project continues to grow… In scope• More and more interrogation sites• More type of interrogation data: -Resident fish/remote, in-stream detection -Adult PIT detection -High Flow Bypass Detection.

-Bird colonies.-Coded Wire Tag code associations.-Pike and minnow PIT tag recoveries-Lamprey

16 July 2002

conclusion

The project continues to grow (continued)…

In scale• Increasing the number of PIT tags used.

• Increasing the number of detection sites.

• Increasing the number of interrogation coils to support.

In complexity• New types of interrogation system electronics.

• New types of interrogation, recapture data.

• Additional coordination and implementation demands by Separation by Code Projects.
