| Review of Marking for Coded-Wire-Tags and Mark Selective Fishing by PSC SFEC | This special assignment requested the SFEC provide answers to three specific questions related to marking of salmon for the purpose of identifying coded-wire tags (CWT) and for selective harvest of hatchery origin salmon in mark selective fisheries (MSF). The full text of this assignment and these three specific questions are provided in Appendix 1. | 2006 |

| 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 |
| Differential Survival of Ventral Fin and Adipose Fin Clips in Fall Chinook Salmon | PSMFC RCMT 1998 Annual Meeting Minutes. Attachment 16. By: H. Lee Blankenship, Daniel A. Thompson and Steve Olhausen. WDFW and USFWS. Report compares survival of hatchery chinook tagged with a coded wire tag and no fin clips, an adipose fin clip, a ventral fin clip, or both adipose and ventral fin clips on brood years 1992, '93, and 1994, returning in 1995, '96, and 1997. | 1998 |
| Effects of Ventral Fin Clips and Adipose Fin Clips on Survival of Coho and Fall Chinook Salmon | PSMFC RCMT 1999 Meeting Minutes Attachment 8. By: H.L. Blankenship, D.A. Thompson, G.E. Vander Hagen, and S. Olhausen. WDFW and NMT. Study compared survival of two brood years of coho and three brood years of fall chinook given only a coded wire tag, or a coded wire tag with an adipose clip, a ventral fin clip, or both adipose and ventral fin clips. | 1999 |
