| Comparison of Survival of Coho Salmon Coded Wire Tagged With standard and Double Length Coded Wire Tags and Adult Electronic Detection | PSMFC RCMT 1996 Annual Meeting Minutes, Attachment 14. By H. Lee Blankenship, Daniel A. Thompson, and Lynn M. Anderson. WDFW. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife·(WDFW) began conducting a study in March 1994 to determine the effect on survival and possible straying of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kistuch) tagged with standard and double length coded wire tags (CWT). A second aspect of the study was to test the effectiveness of electronic detection using wand CWT detectors on returning adult coho. The study was conducted at the WDFW George Adams hatchery on 1992 brood coho averaging 16 g per fish (115 mm fl). During the fall of 1995 all adipose clipped returning coho to the George Adams hatchery were electronically sampled for the presence of a CWT using a Northwest Marine Technology Wand CWT detector. | 1996 |
