Description:

In 2009, the National Marine Fisheries Service, in collaboration with Oregon State University and Real Time Research, Inc., recovered passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags from piscivorous bird colonies in the Columbia River basin (CRB). The PIT tags had been implanted in juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. for studies of survival and migration behavior. Over 117,000 PIT-tag codes with no previous history of detection on avian colonies were recovered during 2009. Ofthis total, over 91,000 originated from fish released for migration in 2009. Greater than 68% of all PIT-tag recoveries occurred at the Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia) and double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritas) colonies located on East Sand Island in the Columbia River estuary. Other important recovery locations were tern colonies on Crescent and Goose Islands and a cormorant colony on Foundation Island. Crescent and Foundation Islands are located in the reservoir upstream from McNary Dam, and PIT tags recovered from these islands accounted for approximately 20% of all recoveries. A significant percentage of PIT tags (5%) were also recovered from a California gull (Larus californicus) colony in The Dalles Dam reservoir on Miller Rocks Island. Sampling at other colonies in the CRB yielded an additional 7% of PIT-tag codes collected.
