The PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG), meets quarterly to update participants on current FMWG tasks, share expertise through presentations on innovative fish monitoring, and provides you with opportunities to engage regional managers and experts. These meetings are an opportune time to discuss tasks and get input from members on where they see importance or could use facilitated support. The FMWG is also interested in your work; if you would like to present your innovative fish monitoring ideas or any recent publications at a future meeting please contact Meg Dethloff, mdethloff@usgs.gov

Tech Talk: WATCH RECORDING

Passage, Predation, Contamination and Supplementation: The Importance of Collaborative and Creative Research in Restoring Pacific Lamprey

Ralph Lampman, the Lamprey Project Lead for Yakama Nation Fisheries, will present “Passage, Predation, Contamination and Supplementation: The Importance of Collaborative and Creative Research in Restoring Pacific Lamprey”. Although awareness and support has generally increased in recent years for Pacific Lamprey restoration and research, there are still many challenges for their recovery and numerous hurdles to fully understand the threats they face throughout their life history. In this presentation, Ralph will share a few examples of recent collaborative research (in regard to passage / collection techniques, molecular analysis of predation, eDNA / eRNA / bile acid, sourcing of contamination) that the Yakama Nation Fisheries and other Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission member tribes are currently working on to help make timely progress towards their recovery. Collaboration and innovation are essential in realizing this goal and we ask all entities and partners to seek and discover creative ways in which they can each contribute towards these efforts.
