| Coded-Wire Tag Sampling: The Case for Electronic-Field Detection | Many CWT sampling programs of commercial fisheries have transitioned to electronic-field detection, while others are still visual-field only, examining snouts from all adipose-clipped salmon, even those without CWTs. Because some CWT salmon are released from hatcheries without any external marks, visual-field only programs also fail to sample these CWTs. In 2012, we used electronic tag detection at a processing plant in Kodiak, Alaska, to scan Chinook salmon caught as bycatch in the US North Pacific groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska. Electronic-field detection increased CWT recovery rates over visual-field detection of adipose-clipped Chinook salmon, and an estimated 64–74% of adipose-clipped Chinook salmon sampled had no CWTs. Visual-field only CWT sampling programs may unnecessarily process large numbers of untagged, adipose-clipped salmon while also recovering fewer CWTs than comparable electronic sampling programs. | 2024 |

| Coded-Wire Tag Sampling: The Case for Electronic-Field Detection | A clipped adipose fin served as an effective external mark indicating presence of a coded-wire tag (CWT) in salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) from the 1960s until the mid 1990s when hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest began mass marking released fish with an adipose fin clip, but not necessarily a CWT. Since then, many CWT sampling programs of commercial fisheries have transitioned to electronic-field detection, while others are still visual-field only, examining snouts from all adipose-clipped salmon, even those without CWTs. Because some CWT salmon are released from hatcheries without any external marks, visual-field only programs also fail to sample these CWTs. In 2012, we used electronic tag detection at a processing plant in Kodiak, Alaska, to scan 1,201 Chinook salmon (O. tschawytscha) caught as bycatch in the US North Pacific groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). Chinook salmon bycatch were also electronically scanned in partnerships with private industry: 3,713 salmon in the 2013–2016 US rockfish fishery in the central GOA, and 611 salmon in testing of salmon excluder devices in 2013 in the central GOA groundfish fisheries. Electronic-field detection increased CWT recovery rates by 20–24% over visual-field detection of adipose-clipped Chinook salmon, and an estimated 64–74% of adipose-clipped Chinook salmon sampled had no CWTs. Visual-field only CWT sampling programs may unnecessarily process large numbers of untagged, adipose-clipped salmon while also recovering fewer CWTs than comparable electronic sampling programs.

| Preliminary Review of Fiscal Year 2003 Mainstem and Systemwide Proposals (ISRP 2002-13) | This report provides preliminary comments and recommendations of the Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) and Peer Review Groups on Mainstem and Systemwide projects submitted for Fiscal Year 2003 funding. The Mainstem and Systemwide review is the final segment of the rolling review process, which began in the spring of 2000 and covers all projects funded through the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. This preliminary report provides project sponsors and the public an opportunity to respond to ISRP concerns before the ISRP makes its final recommendation to the Council on October 23, 2002. This report also provides information to the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority (CBFWA) for its use in project prioritization and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Action Agencies’ (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power Administration) Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Group in its project review and potential revision efforts. | 2002 |
| PSC Workshop on Hatchery CWT Methodology (Regional Information Report1 No. 1 J95- 12) | Preliminary summary edited and condensed by Norma Jean Sands. This workshop on hatchery coded-wire-tag (CWT) methodology was sponsored by the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC); its purpose was to compare methods currently used in producing CWT data, to review uses of the data, and to make recommendations for standardizing and improving technologies where possible. The workshop was attended by 40-60 people each day with almost 100 different people in total, coming from Alaska, the Yukon, B.C., Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California. A schedule of the meeting is attached. The last half of the third day consisted of panel workgroups with participation by interested audience members as well as panel participants. There were spirited discussions in all workgroups and each workgroup put together a summary of findings, discussions, and recommendations. These summaries, along with summaries of each panel talk, will be will be compiled in a workshop proceeding which will be published through the PSC | 1995 |
| Coded-Wire Tag Loss Study (WDFW Technical Report No. 65) | Author: Lee Blankenship For each year from 1973 thru 1978, the Washington Department of Fisheries (WDF) has published a report documenting the estimated catch of WDF’s coded-wire tagged (CWT) fish. These have been published as part of the WDF Progress Report series and provide estimated catch by fishery, area and time for each tag group with one or more tag recoveries during that year (WDF, 1976, 1976; Rasch 1977, 1978; Rasch and O’Connor, 1979; and O’Connor, 1980). These reports have treated tag loss inconsistently (tag loss refers to the shedding of CWT’s which had been implanted in the snout of fish). In the 1974 report, a 15% tag loss was used to adjust release figures. The studies in this report were conducted to gain insight into tag loss rates, factors affecting tag loss, length of time over which tag loss occurs, and the numerical significance of naturally occurring adipose fin marks. | 1981 |
| Comparative Injury, Adipose Fin Mark Quality, and Tag Retention of Spring Chinook Salmon Marked and Coded Wire Tagged by an Automated Trailer and Manual Trailer at Carson National Fish Hatchery | Authors: William R. Brignon, Rod O. Engle, David M. Hand, Jesse Rivera, and Douglas E. Olson The United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s Columbia River Fisheries Program Office has been marking and tagging salmon with automated trailers consistently since 2006, in addition to the historically used manual trailers. Some hatchery managers have expressed concern that automated trailers may cause injuries at rates higher than historic marking and tagging techniques. To begin addressing these concerns, in 2006 we evaluated the two types of marking trailers at Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery, Oregon. To complement the study at Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery, in 2008 spring Chinook salmon at Carson National Fish Hatchery were adipose fin marked and coded wire tagged using both an automated and manual marking trailer | 2008 |
| Regional Overview of Coded Wire Tagging of Anadromous Salmon and Steelhead in Northwest America (updated from 1989 version) | Author: J. Kenneth Johnson. Coded wire microtags (CWTs) were introduced in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1960s as an alternative to fin clipping and external tags for identification of anadromous salmonids in the region, particularly those of hatchery origin. Coastwide use of CWTs quickly followed, and fisheries agencies in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California established ocean sampling and recovery programs. Now, 54 federal, provincial, state, tribal, and private entities release over 50 million salmonids with CWTs yearly. Regional coordination of these tagging programs is provided by the Regional Mark Processing Center operated by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. The ‘Mark Center’ also maintains a centralized database for coastwide CWT releases and recoveries, as well as for associated catch and sample data. CWT data are provided to users via interactive on-line data retrieval. | 2004 |
| Overview of the Coded Wire Tag Program in the Greater Pacific Region of North America | Authors: George F. Nandor, , James R. Longwill, and , and Daniel L. Webb. The coded wire tag (CWT) was introduced in the greater Pacific region (Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and California) in the late 1960s as an alternative to the fin clip and external tag for identification of anadromous salmonids – particularly hatchery origin fish. Coastwide use of the CWT quickly followed, and fisheries agencies in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California established ocean sampling and recovery programs. In 2009 47 Federal, Provincial, State, Tribal, and private entities released more than 50 million salmonids with the CWT yearly. Regional coordination of these tagging programs is provided by the Regional Mark Processing Center (RMPC) operated by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC). The center also maintains a centralized database for coastwide CWT releases and recoveries, as well as for associated catch and sample data. CWT data are provided to users through an interactive on-line data retrieval system. An expert panel review of the CWT system in 2005 identified specific problems with the CWT system. In 2008, a CWT workgroup developed a response and an action plan to address those problems. | 2009 |

| Random-Sampling Design to Estimate Hatchery Contribution to Fisheries | American Fisheries Society Symposium 7:691-707, 1990 Author: Robert R. Vreeland The results from this case study illustrate some important points that may be relevant to a wide variety of mark-recapture experiments. The sampling effort required to produce reasonably precise parameter estimates was very high. However, the required precision of such estimates depends on the purpose of the study and the intended use of its results. If a lower level of precision is adequate, the required sampling effort can be reduced. [Note: document includes information on tag retention.] | 1990 |

| Planning and Conducting Projects Using Coded Wire Tags (published by NMT) | Written by D. J. Solomon & G. E. Vander Haegen (Northwest Marine Technology, Inc). This document describes all aspects of the deployment of the Coded Wire Tag (CWT) and ancillary equipment. It is primarily aimed at new and potential users, but experienced users may also find it a useful reference if they are considering tagging new species or tagging under different conditions. This manual is not intended to replace the user manuals for each piece of equipment, but rather to complement them to help in the design and execution of overall tagging programs and the selection of the most appropriate equipment. It contains many hints and suggestions for tagging, tag recovery, tag reading, and data handling. Additional resources are available on the NMT website (www.nmt.us). | 2017 |

The Proceedings were not published in 1953 so there are no entries for that year. All references were taken from the table of contents in the proceedings of each conference and are listed according to author or subject, report title, and year. The subjects are quite general as they were categorized by using report titles. Many possible subjects have been cross-indexed to aid you find what you are looking for. The Fish Commission of Oregon supplied the funds required to prepare and publish the Index. | 1966 |
| NWFCC 1950-1981 – Northwest Fish Culture Conferences/Workshops (Index) | This index contains separate author and subject references to material presented at the Northwest Fish Culture Conferences/Workshops from 1950 through 1981.
