In 2023, the PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG) initiated the PIT Tag Array Data and Related Data Analyses Task. The forum is meant to present tools developed for managing detection data from PIT-tag arrays, identify challenges others have encountered regarding management and analysis using PIT-tag array data, and gather feedback on tools that would be helpful to biologists. These discussions helped identify specific needs in the fisheries community. The FMWG PIT Tag Data & Analysis 2025 Webinar Series is designed to help biologists and data managers learn how to use, share, and apply tools and analytical methods, as well as navigate common challenges in working with PIT-tag array data.
This series has concluded. Brief overviews of the session and links to the recordings are below, for more detailed information and materials from the session, click on the session event page hyperlink.
