PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (January 2026)
2026-01-15 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
Join us at 10:00 am (Pacific) on January 15th 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.
Tech Talk: WATCH RECORDING
From Data to Decisions: RMIS in R at Your Fingertips – Explore how RMIS and R work together to transform raw data into meaningful fisheries management decisions.
Presenters: Greg Wilke (Database and Application Manager, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission) and Kris Warner (Fish and Wildlife Biologist, Region 5 North- Hatchery Monitoring and Evaluation, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife)
Summary:
Feedback from the 2025 FMWG survey suggested a presentation on how to use the RMIS R package. In this presentation, RMIS R package users will showcase how they apply the code in their workflows, followed by a discussion on desired improvements and ways to enhance usability. Developers will be available to provide support and gather feedback, ensuring the package evolves to better meet user needs.

AlaKaZam – Bringing Pacific Lamprey back to the Tucannon River with Artificially-Propagated Larvae
Developing Methods to Outplant Larval Pacific Lamprey in the Tucannon River

AlaKaZam – Bringing Pacific Lamprey back to the Tucannon River with Artificially-Propagated Larvae
Authors: Zach Seilo, Aaron Jackson, Alexa Maine, Mary Moser, Jerrid Weaskus, Kanim Moses-Conner, Paul Sheoships, Greg Silver, Jon Hess
The 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.
From 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.
Mark–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.
Developing Methods to Outplant Larval Pacific Lamprey in the Tucannon River
Authors: Mary L. Moser1, Aaron D. Jackson2, Alexa Maine2, Jerrid Weaskus2, Kanim Moses-Connor2, Greg Silver3, and Jon Hess3
Starting 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.
