SUMMARY:PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (October 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10:00 am (Pacific) on October 16th for the next meeting of the PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG). During the meeting\, we will update participants on current tasks\, hear a presentation about innovative fish monitoring\, and provide 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. \nTech Talk: WATCH RECORDING \nSalmon Research and Monitoring Interest Group – Introduction to RDA and Working Group Development \nPresenters: Lara Erikson​ (Program Manager\, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission) and Tom Bird (Research Scientist\, Fisheries and Oceans Canada) \nSummary: \nThe Salmon Research and Monitoring Interest Group (IG) within the Research Data Alliance (RDA) was formed to address the need for better data sharing and standardization in salmon research\, building on the synthesis paper Salmon Data Mobilization from the International Year of the Salmon (IYS) closing symposium in 2023. The collaborative efforts from an informal group looking to address the challenges of salmon data mobilization gradually evolved and cohered into a more formal Interest Group within the RDA. Salmon data are broad\, multi-disciplinary\, and complex\, encompassing data on salmon at various life stages (freshwater\, sea\, spawning)\, as well as related biological processes (prey\, predators) and physical environments (oceans\, rivers). A key recommendation from the IYS paper was establishing a peer support network to facilitate collaboration\, knowledge sharing\, and skill development in the salmon research community. With several collaborators already being members\, the RDA was chosen for its global community and existing infrastructure. Aims of the IG include expanding the current three chairs to eight across Atlantic and Pacific regions\, serve as a social network to link ideas across time zones\, learn from the existing RDA community’s tools and strategies\, and develop and share their own tools and processes within open spaces such as Zenodo and GitHub. The IG is a larger overarching group of members and collaborators under which smaller more focused Working Groups (WG) are formed which focus on outputs with clear\, short-term and specific goals. Thus far\, proposed WG topics include; salmon ontology\, salmon data paper synthesis\, biochronology of otolith and scale samples\, monitoring methods ontology\, migration timing data\, and long-term monitoring data. The salmon ontology WG in particular has made progress building upon a workshop held at the BC-WA Chapter AFS meeting in March 2025. The IG and the various WGs aim to foster a collaborative environment to tackle the complexities of salmon data for conservation and recovery efforts. \nAgenda \n\n10:00 – Welcome and Introductions\n10:05 – Task Updates\n10:20 – Tech Talk\n11:10 – Q&A\n11:30 – Adjourn\n\n  \nClick link below to join on October 16th \n\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 269 941 573 156 3\nPasscode: bu3GL9Qr\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone\n+1 207-387-0436\,\,797278667# United States\, Portland\nFind a local number\n\nPhone conference ID: 797 278 667#\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNever been to a FMWG meeting?

SUMMARY:PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (April 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10:00 am (PDT) on Thursday\, April 16th for the next meeting of the PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG). During the meeting\, we will update participants on current tasks\, hear a presentation about innovative fish monitoring\, and provide 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. \nTech Talks: WATCH RECORDING \nAlaKaZam – Bringing Pacific Lamprey back to the Tucannon River with Artificially-Propagated Larvae  \nDeveloping Methods to Outplant Larval Pacific Lamprey in the Tucannon River \nPresenters: Zach Seilo (Lab Manager/Biologist\, Pacific Lamprey Research and Restoration Project\, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation) and Mary Moser\, PhD (Fisheries Biologist\, Moserworks LLC\, (retired – National Marine Fisheries Service)) \nAbstracts: \nAlaKaZam – Bringing Pacific Lamprey back to the Tucannon River with Artificially-Propagated Larvae \nAuthors: Zach Seilo\, Aaron Jackson\, Alexa Maine\, Mary Moser\, Jerrid Weaskus\, Kanim Moses-Conner\, Paul Sheoships\, Greg Silver\, Jon Hess \nThe Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation have implemented a reintroduction program for Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) in the Columbia River Basin due to population declines throughout their historic range. Artificial propagation\, a new frontier in restoration research for Pacific Lamprey\, is one method that is supporting CTUIR reintroduction efforts. Parentage Based Tagging is being used to track artificially propagated larval lamprey in the wild after they are released. \nFrom 2021-2025\, 82 female and 82 male lampreys were cross-fertilized in the lab. The resulting larval lampreys were reared to a minimum of 25 days post-fertilization. Approximately 4.3 million artificially propagated larval lampreys were released into the Tucannon River during the 2021-2025 timeframe. The artificially propagated larvae were released at two sites in 2021 and 2022\, and by 2025 the number of release sites had increased to five sites. Crosses were separated into two release treatments (staggered release and direct release). Electro-fishing surveys were conducted at multiple index sites along the river to assess presence and distribution of larval lampreys. Genetic analysis was conducted on all sampled larvae to determine whether they were from artificial propagation efforts. \nMark–recapture efforts were conducted using electrofishing surveys at 12 index sites systematically distributed throughout the Tucannon River. Larval lampreys collected during these surveys were submitted for genetic analysis. No artificially propagated larval lampreys were identified at the lower river index sites. Three index sites in the upper Tucannon River were located near larval lamprey release locations (river kilometers 50.1 and 60.1). Although no larval lamprey were detected at these sites prior to releases\, artificially propagated larvae were recaptured there after release. In 2025\, 28 larval lamprey and one transformed juvenile from the 2021 release were collected at a screw trap near the mouth of the Tucannon River during emigration from the watershed. Data from the ongoing artificial propagation and mark–recapture efforts in the Tucannon River are expected to significantly improve understanding of Pacific lamprey life history in the coming years. \nDeveloping Methods to Outplant Larval Pacific Lamprey in the Tucannon River \nAuthors: Mary L. Moser1\, Aaron D. Jackson2\, Alexa Maine2\, Jerrid Weaskus2\, Kanim Moses-Connor2\, Greg Silver3\, and Jon Hess3 \nStarting in 2012\, The Fisheries Program of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) developed methods for artificial propagation of Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) for research and restoration. One of the key objectives of this work was to successfully release artificially-propagated larvae into the Tucannon River following a regionally-established supplementation framework. Over the past five years this research has focused on identification of methods that result in the greatest larval survival after outplanting. Two methods were used to assess survival: 1) direct assessment during the first five days after outplanting in artificial redds\, and 2) parentage analysis to assess relative survival rates of specific treatments. All larvae outplanted were near first feeding (23 – 40 d post fertilization). Survival during the first five days after outplanting artificial redds was uniformly high (>90%)\, except in 2023 when high siltation and larval density resulted in complete mortality when water circulation ceased (day 3)\, resulting in hypoxia. Pre-acclimation in Tucannon River water did not appear to convey any immediate survival advantage. Parentage analysis confirmed that larvae released from artificial redds and via less labor-intensive bucket dumps were both detected in subsequent years. These results will direct future release methods and guide management of Pacific Lamprey in the Tucannon River and other receiving waters. \nAgenda \n\n10:00 – Welcome and Introductions\n10:05 – Task Updates\n10:20 – Tech Talk\n11:10 – Q&A\n11:30 – Adjourn\n\nClick link below to join on April 16th \n\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help?\n\nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/24404505535734?p=NP8RNEP7hvgTUJVl6Z\nMeeting ID: 244 045 055 357 34\nPasscode: Hr6rR2TS\n\n\n\nDial in by phone\n+1 207-387-0436\,\,124698601# United States\, Portland\nFind a local number\nPhone conference ID: 124 698 601#\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNever been to a FMWG meeting?
