A total of 20,408 PIT-tagged juvenile salmonids were detected in the estuary using the large pair-trawl detection system in 2003. Sampling began on 22 April and continued through 30 June and a total of 794 hours of detector on-time were recorded during this period. All detection records have specific GPS positions available. Two daily sampling crews were used between 28 April and 15 June when detector on-times averaged 14 hours per day (minimum daily effort during this period was 10 hours per day). All data files have been submitted to PTAGIS interrogation site code TWX. Of the total detections, 2,662 had been previously detected at Bonneville Dam. Those fish will form the basis of calculation survival for inriver migrants to Bonneville Dam using the Single Release method. A fair number of the total detections (about 3,300 pending final analysis) were transported by barge and released downstream from Bonneville Dam, those detections will be used to compare timing and relative survival between barged and inriver migrant fish to better understand the variations in smolt to adult ratios for those fish groups passing into the ocean at similar times. 04/24/2003 09:19 Ledgerwo Intermittent electronics testing and equipment preparation activities for the large surface pair-trawling effort began in early April near Jones Beach, river kilometer 75. The first trawl deployment occurred on 22 April and training deployments with limited daily sampling effort will continue for about a week. On 28 April we anticipate adding a second daily sampling crew and continue the two-crew sampling effort throughout the spring migrant period (mid to late June). Due to budget constraints, sampling with the small trawl in the lower estuary has been cancelled as has been the originally scheduled sampling for subyearling chinook salmon in late June and July. 01/01/2003 12:20 Dave Initialized new event log for 2003. 2002 event log has been archived. ####End of Event Log for TWX###
