Final Definition from FMWG CAP DES Juvenile Outmigrant Refinement Define Smolt Equivalent Task to StreamNet

TASK LEADS:

Mike Banach (PSMFC): mike@psmfc.org

Kasey Bliesner (ODFW): kasey.bliesner@odfw.oregon.gov

Russell Scranton (BPA): rwscranton@bpa.gov

Megan Dethloff (USGS/PNAMP): mdethloff@usgs.gov

DESCRIPTION:

In this task, participants will: explain what “smolt equivalent” means, and/or replace that language and fields and confirm if the Data Exchange Standard (DES) needs to add an additional classification field; discuss DES February 2021 survey results for DES table A.4.

JUSTIFICATION:

In early 2021, the CAP Data Exchange Development Team (DDT) Chair (Mike Banach, PSMFC/StreamNet) conducted a survey seeking suggestions and input regarding refinements of the existing CAP Data Exchange Standard. The PNAMP FMWG and StreamNet DDT are collaborating to address suggestions raised during this (and other) processes, including the 2019 PNAMP Smolt Estimation & Analytics Workshop.

PRODUCTS:

As a result of this task, substantial changes have been made to the DES. See the most up-to-date version on the StreamNet site. Data Exchange Standards – StreamNet
