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?

SUMMARY:NAISMA Webinar: Harnessing AI for Invasive Species Detection: Smart Traps\, Drones\, and Machine Learning in Action - FREE
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE-this is not a fisheries specific webinar but using AI and remote sensing is a rapidly evolving technique and can be applied across a variety of sciences. This information could help aquatic specialists explore new ways to detect aquatic invaders. The webinars will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation. \nJoin NAISMA this November for a dynamic webinar showcasing how artificial intelligence is transforming invasive species detection and monitoring across ecosystems. Through innovative applications like smart traps\, drones\, and machine learning\, researchers and practitioners are unlocking new tools to manage biological invasions more effectively and efficiently. \n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\nDr. Melissa Miller from the University of Florida will present her work on developing AI-powered smart traps designed to detect and remove invasive tegu lizards—large\, fast-moving reptiles that threaten native wildlife and agriculture in the southeastern U.S. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller from the University of Exeter will share his team’s research on using deep learning models to detect invasive hornets in real time\, offering critical insights for rapid response and containment. Representing Ducks Unlimited Canada\, Matthew Bolding and Mallory Carpenter will discuss their efforts to integrate drone technology and AI to monitor populations of European water chestnut\, a fast-spreading aquatic invasive plant impacting wetland biodiversity and water quality. \nVespAI: Applying Deep Learning to the Detection of Invasive Hornets presented by Thomas O’Shea-Wheller\nThe invasive hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax is a rapidly proliferating threat to biodiversity and apiculture in Europe\, East Asia\, and North America. To date\, authorities have struggled to contain the hornets\, as colonies must be detected and destroyed early in the invasion curve if establishment is to be prevented. Current monitoring approaches rely primarily upon visual alerts by the public and surveillance trapping\, however the former yields less than 0.01% accuracy\, while the latter kills substantial numbers of native invertebrates. With the continuing spread of V. velutina\, there is thus a pressing need to develop improved monitoring technologies within a limited timeframe. In this talk\, I outline VespAI\, an automated system for the rapid detection and behavioural quantification of V. velutina\, V. crabro\, and V. orientalis. VespAI leverages a hardware-assisted AI approach\, combining a standardised monitoring station with deep YOLO architecture\, trained on a bespoke end-to-end pipeline. This enables the system to detect hornets in real-time—achieving a precision-recall score of ≥0.99—and send associated image alerts via a compact remote processor. I discuss the development\, performance\, and future deployment of the system\, and highlight its potential to enhance the scope and sustainability of invasive hornet surveillance at a global scale. \nThis webinar will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation. \n\n\n\nDr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller\, University of Exeter\nDr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller is interested in the complex interactions that govern collective behavior\, ecology\, and self-organization within social insects. As a Research Fellow based at the University of Exeter\, he works with ants\, bees\, hornets\, and termites to explore colony network dynamics\, social plasticity\, and behavioral heterogeneity in invasive contexts. His current research includes projects pertaining to honey bee epidemiology\, collective decision-making in ants\, and the detection of invasive species using artificial intelligence.

Restoration is implemented within the broad-scale context of changing ocean conditions\, yet we lack an understanding of the relative extent to which land-based actions can contribute to the resilience of salmon populations under climate change. We addressed this challenge using an integrated population model of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in the Willapa basin (southwest Washington\, USA). We evaluated how chum population dynamics have varied with watershed-scale forest management\, estuarine invasive species control efforts\, and changing ocean conditions from 1984 to 2022. Overall\, our findings illustrate the capacity for multiple conservation actions to contribute to salmon population health and suggest that watershed-scale forest management has the potential to bolster the persistence of salmon populations under climate change. \n“Washington State’s Invasive Spartina Eradication Effort” — Chad Phillips \nSpartina\, commonly known as cordgrass\, can disrupt the ecosystems of native saltwater estuaries. If left unchecked\, Spartina outcompetes native vegetation and converts ecologically healthy mudflats and estuaries into solid Spartina meadows. As a result\, important habitat for salmon\, forage fish\, invertebrates\, shorebirds and waterfowl are lost\, the threat of flooding is increased\, and the state’s shellfish industry is negatively impacted. Since 1995\, The Washington State Department of Agriculture has served as the lead state agency facilitating the cooperation of local\, state\, federal and tribal governments; universities; interested groups; and private landowners. The Spartina eradication effort has been highly effective — reducing infestations from a high of more than 9\,000 solid acres in 2003 to 6.7 solid acres in 2024. 76 sites infested with Spartina have been successfully eradicated; however\, significant work remains. The remaining infestations are distributed over 126 separate sites\, meaning 62 percent of Washington’s 202 infestations are not yet eradicated. An emerging challenge is Spartina quickly spreading into and negatively impacting important salmon restoration projects in the North Puget Sound.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Exchange Workshop Series 2025: Rewetting Our Waterways: Floodplain Restoration in an Occupied Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Rewetting Our Waterways: Floodplain Restoration in an Occupied Landscape\nNovember 18th\, 2025 \n9am – 3:30pm PST on Zoom \nAgenda below \nFloodplains are vital to the health of watersheds and we continue to learn about their role in shaping the habitats and ecosystems that Pacific salmon rely on. With our growing understanding of floodplains has come the emergence of different programs and projects designed to protect and restore floodplains for salmon recovery. Like all emerging practices\, floodplain restoration has had successes and failures. Intact floodplains are one of the most endangered habitats in our occupied watersheds and the loss of intact and restorable areas is accelerating. \nThis virtual workshop\, co-hosted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada\, Pacific Salmon Foundation and Washington’s Governor Salmon Recovery Office brings together experts to discuss how floodplain function has been altered by human activity and how those changes have led to cascading effects on our river systems. We will explore approaches and opportunities to restore floodplain benefits to Pacific salmon and aquatic ecosystems in modified landscapes and highlight examples where floodplain restoration strategies are succeeding. We hope you will join us! \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_L8oTzHGdS2-vfVOb5TknuQ#/registration \nPast workshop recordings and reports: https://psf.ca/knowledge-exchange-workshop-series/ \nQuestions: Laura.Weatherly@dfo-mpo.gc.ca

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:Fish Monitoring Work Group Meeting (April 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10:00 am (Pacific) on April 17th 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 \nDevelopment of a Mid-Sized River Habitat Sampling Protocol\nTyler Hessler (PhD student in the Missouri Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit in Columbia\, MO) \nThe use of technology is increasing in natural resources field and there is a need to determine how these technologies can be utilized to advance our respective fields. In this study\, we propose the use of several advanced technologies (acoustic doppler current profilers\, ADCPs; unmanned aerial systems\, UASs; side scan sonar; 360 cameras) to better standardize and streamline the collection of fish-relevant habitat data in non-wadeable rivers. UASs and 360 cameras allow for efficient capture of important habitat metrics (canopy cover\, riparian land use\, etc.) with greater accuracy than traditional observational methods that often include a great deal of subjectivity. ADCPs and side scan sonar have seen use in fisheries but are not used as often as they could be to quickly assess habitat. Although the amount of data these technologies collect can be daunting\, the use of AI and other software may streamline the implementation of these data and provide another option for managers that can increase confidence associated with making informed decisions that rely on accurate habitat data. Developing a standardized protocol using these technologies could significantly increase the quality of data collected in non-wadeable rivers and also decrease the costs associated with extended time in the field. \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 17th \n\nMicrosoft Teams Meeting link\nMeeting ID: 240 100 065 603\nPasscode: Hm2wb39o\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone\n+1 202-640-1187\,\,595384762# United States\, Washington\nFind a local number\n\nPhone conference ID: 595 384 762#\n\n\n\n\nNever been to a FMWG meeting? This meeting is a perfect time to learn about the project\, join in\, and help guide future work. \nMissed a previous FMWG meeting? Check out our YouTube page for presentations or task meetings. \n\nThe PNAMP Fish Monitoring Work Group (FMWG)\, meets quarterly to discuss task progress\, share expertise through guest presentations\, and support collaboration\, communication\, and coordination among fish monitoring practitioners for effective monitoring and efficient data sharing. The FMWG is also interested in your work; if you would like to present your innovative fish monitoring ideas or any recent publications at a future meeting please contact Meg Dethloff\, mdethloff@usgs.gov
