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?

What are examples of projects that acknowledge this history of the land\, its peoples\, and include not just ecological restoration but cultural and spiritual restoration? \nIn this popular and expanded workshop\, we will have a dialogue about the history of Native peoples and white supremacy in the Northwest and how it intersects with ecological restoration. Instructors will give examples from experience of ways to engage with Native communities and start successful relationships. We will compare ITECK (Indigenous Traditional Ecological and Cultural Knowledge) approaches and Western approaches and ways to use “two-eyed seeing”. We will have hands-on activities that explore our own connection to nature and explore our own family histories to the land. We will be acknowledging our shared histories and envisioning paths forward that respect nature\, our cultures\, and have abundant salmon! Themes of healing will be explored through reciprocity\, respect\, and relationships. During Day 2 we will visit a restoration site to see examples of these topics at work in the field. \nInstructors:\nSerina Fast Horse (Lakota & Blackfeet) is a lifelong member and emerging leader of the Indigenous community of Portland. With a foundation of interdisciplinary studies in Community Development and Indigenous Nations Studies\, she holds a rounded worldview that prioritizes community-focused and relational approaches. As the owner of Kimimela Consulting\, Serina works to cultivate transformative relationships that address social and ecological needs through collaborative relationships between Indigenous communities and regional agencies. She also served as the program coordinator for the Institute for Tribal Government at Portland State University for over three years where she supported the delivery of Tribal relations programming. \nShe is a gifted communicator and organizer who has been called on to support multiple regional gatherings such as the Changing Currents Tribal Water Summit\, Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians Climate Camp\, and the first Indigenous Land Conservation Summit. Additionally\, she serves as a coordinator of the emerging group called the Land Care Collective. Serina is driven by her passion to embrace Indigenous cultural knowledge and empower Indigenous voices to help create a holistic path to healing our ecological and social communities for our future generations. She looks forward to working collaboratively with her fellow Co-Directors and is excited by the potential impact of the Northwest Environmental Justice Center to create just\, equitable\, and lasting systemic change for our regional communities. \nToby Query is a father\, husband\, and ecologist. As part of the City of Portland’s Revegetation Program since 1999\, he stewards natural areas for all Portlanders. He founded the discussion group Portland Ecologists Unite! which created spaces to learn\, discuss\, and connect over current ecological issues. Toby is a steward of the Land Care Collective which seeks to build a network of reciprocity between Indigenous leaders and land care agencies and non-profits. Toby believes that a deeper restoration of the land and its waters require us to work towards healing in human and ecological communities concurrently and follow the lead of those whose cultural teachings believe in the interconnectedness of all life. He is a Certified Senior Ecologist from the Ecological Society of America and a current student at Portland State University’s ITECK program. \n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes \nUpon completion of this workshop students should be able to: \n· Practice land stewardship that benefits land\, its waters and people. \n· Discuss our shared histories and elevate the importance of raising Indigenous voices. \n· Promote projects that can meld ITECK and western knowledge systems. \n· Begin partnering with Indigenous community members in a respectful manner and take steps to foster relationships. \nMajor Topics: \n· General history of Native people in the US and the local area \n· ITECK (Indigenous Traditional Ecological and Cultural Knowledge) \n· Land stewardship \n· Relationship building and collaboration
