Acknowledgments The success of the Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Program is contingent upon the cooperative efforts of many agencies including Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP), and Idaho Power Company (IPC). It was due to the hard work, collaboration, and dedication of this group that the 2016 marking season was successfully completed. Funding for this program is provided by the USFWS through the LSRCP and the IPC.

Many individuals deserve recognition and thanks for their dedication to the marking program; without their efforts the success of this program would not have been possible. I would like to thank the management and administrative staff at PSMFC and IDFG. In particular, Stan Allen, Braden Buttars, George Nandor, Amy Roberts, Matt Robertson, and Tiffany Vandecoevering (PSMFC); Gary Byrne, Jim Fredericks, and Paul Kline (IDFG) were instrumental in the daily function of this program. I would also like to thank Paul Abbott and Stuart Rosenburger (IPC); Chris Starr and Rod Engle (LSRCP); Dave Knutzen, Scott Molitor, and Brian Toews, Northwest Marine Technology (NMT) for the valuable services that they provide to the program.

The staff at the Nampa Research Facility (IDFG) also deserves a great deal of recognition for their ongoing efforts to improve communication and increase the efficiency of fish-marking in Idaho. Namely Forrest Bohlen, Christine Kozfkay, Brian Leth, Chris Sullivan, and Chuck Warren worked well to ensure that the goals of the Mark Plan were met while maintaining a plan that was feasible for the marking crew and respective hatcheries.

I also want to thank the following hatchery managers and their staff, Jerry Chapman and Brian Thompson (IDFG - Niagara Springs Hatchery), Todd Garlie and Morgan Fife (IDFG – Pahsimeroi Hatchery), Craig Eaton and Jarrett Page (USFWS – Hagerman National Hatchery), Chris Jeszke and Steve Kammeyer (IDFG – Magic Valley Hatchery), Anthony Folsom, Dan Dillion, Bradley George (retired) and Chris Shockman (IDFG – Clearwater Hatchery), Jamie Mitchell and Joel Patterson (IDFG – McCall Hatchery), Cassie Sundquist, Steeve Pomerleau, and Phil Koontz (IDFG – Sawtooth Hatchery), Doug Engemann and Brandon Filloon (IDFG–Springfield Hatchery) and Ralph Steiner and Chad Henson (IDFG – Rapid River Hatchery), because without a great deal of communication, assistance, and hard work from you there is no way this program could have been successful. I would like to add a special thank you to the staff at Hagerman National, especially Steve Money, for their continued cooperation in moving the trailers among the three Southern Idaho steelhead facilities.

Mostly, I would like to thank the 2016 Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Crew for all the long hours, dedication, and hard work that they put into the marking season to ensure that it was a success. This included many days spent on the road and working irregular shifts and long hours. This truly is a unique program and its success is predicated on the commitment of the fish-marking crew. I want to thank the Trailer Operators – Jake Danner, Matt Hamby, Chris Pike, Clint Roby, Chris Root, and Lauren Villalobos (PSMFC) for all their hard work. The Trailer Assistants included Chris Brachna, Alicia Helfrick, Dianna Jones, Jacob Kremer, Megan Lamb, Ashlee Mitchell, Dan Polito, Lauren Polito, Nathan Quarry, Matt Rodgers, Genevieve Rollins, Chris Shelton, Aaron Unroe, Madalyn Walker, and Tyler Zumwalt (PSMFC). Finally, a big thank you to our IDFG liaison Michelle Kelley, for all the help and support she provided to the Fish-Marking Program.

Introduction In April 2009, IDFG contracted all anadromous fish-marking in the state of Idaho to PSMFC. In 2016, all fish-marking personnel were employees of PSMFC. The marking program was based out of Lewiston, Idaho and consisted of four full time staff; one Tagging Coordinator, one Supervisory Operator, two Trailer Operators and twelve seasonal staff; four Trailer Operators, eight Trailer Assistants, and a varying number of temporary Trailer Assistants as needed for the 2016 marking season. This report summarizes all fish marked by the Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Program in the year 2016. The program was responsible for the marking of anadromous fish at the following nine fish hatcheries: Clearwater, Hagerman National, McCall, Magic Valley, Niagara Springs, Pahsimeroi, Rapid River, Sawtooth, and Springfield. While at these fish hatcheries a variety of different marks and tags were applied including adipose fin-clips, coded-wire tags (CWT), and passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags to steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), and Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha).

The IDFG research division develops a mark plan that indicates the number of fish at each hatchery that are to receive specific marks. Coded-wire tags were implanted from the fourth week of April through the end of August. The adipose fin-clipping took place from the fourth week of April through the end of August and the first week of October. PIT-tags were implanted from January through March, and again the third week of September through the third week of November, and provide a unique alphanumeric code to each individual fish.

The overall objectives of the Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Program are as follows:

Objective 1: Provide technical and administrative services associated with performing and completing the work identified in the 2016 Fish Marking Contract. Technical and administrative tasks may include: project management, budgeting, scheduling, coordination, crew supervision, report preparation, grant management, invoicing, equipment maintenance and data collection, storage and analysis, and all other tasks that may be necessary to complete the scope of work specified in the 2016 contract.

Objective 2: Purchase supplies as per the contracted budget, hire and supervise project personnel for marking and tagging operations specified in the contract. Operate IDFG owned marking and tagging trailers, vehicles and associated equipment.

Objective 3: Conduct quality control studies for each fin-clipped and coded-wire tagged release group and report to the IDFG Project Manager. Coordinate all project activities and share all project data with IDFG hatchery staff.

Objective 4: Coordinate with IDFG to ensure marking and tagging information is uploaded to IDFG’s data storage location. Information will be accurate and timely and conform to the established formatting protocols established by IDFG.

Objective 5: Prepare and submit an annual report to the IDFG Project Manager in electronic form no later than December 31 of the current contract period. Each report shall detail work accomplished, numbers of fish marked and tagged, results of tag retention studies, a discussion of any problems encountered and recommendations to correct challenges or problems encountered during the year. Additionally, PSMFC will provide monthly financial reports as well as preliminary data reports that

summarize numbers of fish handled, numbers and types of marks and tags applied, and hatcheries where work was performed.

Methods The Idaho marking program used four state-of-the-art automated tagging trailers. Three of these automated trailers have six automated lines, and the other one with five automated lines. These trailers incorporate the latest advanced technology for adipose fin-clipping and coded-wire tagging fish. These automated trailers have the capacity to mark and implant coded-wire tags very rapidly without the use of anesthetic or human contact. These systems have been in use for many years in the Pacific Northwest and in Idaho since 2002. Steelhead, Sockeye salmon and Chinook salmon were PIT-tagged using a four-station and three-station manual PIT-tagging trailers.

The automated trailers are able to process fish that are a minimum of 57mm in total length and a maximum of 142mm in total length. This size restriction means that timing at each facility is critical to maximize efficiency and productivity. At many facilities the fish were processed through the automated trailers when the hatcheries were ready to move the fish from inside rearing vats to outside rearing ponds or raceways, making timing of the mark event even more critical to ensure that the density limits of the inside rearing containers were not exceeded. Double shifts were typically used to maximize efficiency and output of the automated trailers. Trailers were moved as needed between hatcheries relative to fish reaching appropriate marking size.

Fish were delivered to the automated trailers by means of a forklift mounted live fish transfer tank and electric Matsusaka four-inch fish-transfer pumps. The forklifts were operated by hatchery personnel and the fish pumps were operated by members of the fish-marking crew. Once inside the trailers fish were pumped via an internal fish lift system into the sorter. The sorter takes an image of each individual fish and records the total length of the fish (within .1mm) and then diverts the fish to the appropriate line. Each of the automated lines is set up to run a specific size range of fish. Once the fish have reached the automated line they travel down a channel and are separated by a series of gates that ensure one fish at a time arrive at the clamping mechanism. Once the clamps come together on the fish a camera takes an image of the back of the fish and locates the adipose fin. The computer relays the exact X and Y coordinates of the adipose fin in relation to the back of the fish to a clipping mechanism that excises the adipose fin. Once the clipping is complete the camera takes a second image to ensure that the fin-clip was successful. At the moment the clamps come together to hold the fish for imaging the coded-wire tag is inserted into the snout of the fish via a MK IV tag injector that is positioned at the end of each channel. After the fish has been clipped and/or tagged it is released from the clamps and travels through a Quality Control Device (QCD) that checks for the presence of a coded-wire tag. If the fish passes the clip quality check and tag detection, it is then delivered from the trailer to the proper raceway or pond via four-inch discharge pipe. If the fish fails either the tag detection or clip quality check, it is diverted into a reject container and will be processed manually in the back of the trailer by a Trailer Assistant.

In the manual section of the trailer fish that were either too large or too small to be processed through the automated lines, or were rejected by the automated lines, were anesthetized and clipped and/or tagged manually.

At most facilities tag retention studies were conducted to determine the coded-wire tag shed rate for each specific tag code and/or raceway. Approximately 300 fish were checked 21 days post tagging to check for the presence of a coded-wire tag. Adipose fin clips were also checked on the fish if they had been attempted to be clipped. Due to the reduction in coded-wire tag groups, fewer groups were checked for adipose fin-clip quality and information for this report is incomplete.

Upon completion of marking operations at each facility all trailers and equipment were disinfected prior to being transported off the hatchery compound following the Idaho Trailer Disinfection Protocol. The first step in this process was to scrub all inside surfaces with diluted liquid Lysol. A large water trough was then used to create a closed water circulating system and a bleach solution (350ppm) was run through the trailer for a minimum of 45 minutes. Upon completion of the disinfection process Sodium Thiosulfate was used to neutralize the bleach and the water was then emptied out of the trailer according to hatchery protocol. Upon arrival at the next facility the entire trailer was extensively flushed with fresh hatchery water before exposing fish to the trailer.

The numbers in this report reflect the fish handled and type of mark that the Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Crew applied at each of the respective hatcheries at the time of marking. This information is not intended to be used for release numbers or information regarding release.

Results The Marking Program performed the adipose fin-clipping and coded-wire tagging according to the 2016 Mark Plan. A total of 18,674,979 adipose fin-clips (AD) and/or coded wire tag (CWT) marks were applied to 16,969,332 fish in 2016 (Table 1).

Table 1: Mark Year 2016 Total number of fish marked, type of mark put on each fish, brood year (BY), and breakdown by each hatchery

Tag retention studies indicated very high rates of tag/mark retention; our program wide goal is to achieve 99% or better tag retention on all groups of tagged fish (Table 2). Adipose fin-clip rates were only checked on those groups of fish that also received a coded-wire tag.

Clearwater Fish Hatchery Spring-Run Chinook The Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Crew processed BY 2015 spring-run Chinook salmon at Clearwater Fish Hatchery on two separate occasions. The first trip occurred April 28th through May 5th using three six-line automated marking trailers. Three six-line automated fish marking trailers were used during the second mark event, May 26th through June 7th. Three electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pumps were used to load the fish into the trailers during both marking events. A total of 3,059,494 spring-run Chinook salmon were coded-wire tagged and/or adipose fin-clipped during the two trips (Table 5). After marking, fish were distributed to raceways via four-inch aluminum discharge pipe.

Clearwater Fish Hatchery Summer-Run Chinook The Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Crew processed BY 2015 summer-run Chinook salmon at Clearwater Fish Hatchery on two separate occasions. The first trip occurred May 26th through May 27th using one six-line automated marking trailer. One six-line automated fish marking trailer was used during the second mark event, October 3rd through October 6th. One electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pump was used to load the fish into the trailer during both marking events. A total of 450,000 summer-run Chinook salmon were coded-wire tagged or adipose fin-clipped during the two events (Table 8). After marking, fish were distributed to raceways via four-inch aluminum discharge pipe.

A total of 3,237,816 fish were coded-wire tagged and/or adipose fin-clipped (Table 19). Three six-line automated marking trailers were used to process fish that received a coded-wire tag and/or adipose fin-clip. Fish were loaded into the main trough of the trailers by two electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pumps. After marking, fish were distributed to the rearing ponds via four-inch aluminum discharge pipe. Due to the long distances between marking trailers and rearing ponds much of the discharge pipe is provided by Rapid River Hatchery and is stored on site at the hatchery.

McCall Fish Hatchery

The Idaho Anadromous Fish-Marking Crew processed BY 2015 summer-run Chinook salmon at McCall Fish Hatchery on two separate occasions. A total of 1,222,515 fish were coded-wire tagged and/or adipose fin-clipped (Table 22). The first mark event occurred June 5th through June 11th. One five-line automated marking trailer was used to adipose fin-clip and move fish to outside rearing ponds in order to reduce fish densities in the indoor vats. The second mark event occurred July 5th through July 11th and one five-line automated marking trailer was used to process fish that received an adipose fin-clip and/or coded-wire tag. Fish were loaded into the main trough of the trailer by one electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pump during both marking events. After marking, fish were distributed to ponds via four-inch aluminum discharge pipe.

Discussion Again in 2016, all trailer transportation requiring a CDL was contracted out to Peters and Keatts Trucking LLC. The only exception to this was that Hagerman National Fish Hatchery employees Steve Money and Brian Clifford transporting the trailers between the three Southern Idaho steelhead facilities. Peters and Keatts Trucking was once again able to move the trailers in the time frame necessary in order for the program to meet the very strict deadlines that it operates under.

This year the program purchased a new six-line automated marking trailer, so now the program has five automated marking trailers. This allows the marking crew to be more flexible and/or available to meet all the hatcheries needs and deadlines. Also, this year the program sent the two five-line and one-six-line automated marking trailers for upgrades to NMT, so that all the automated marking trailers will have uniform trailer shells and equipment upgrades. The two five-line automated marking trailers will become six-line trailers to increase efficiency and productivity throughout the marking process.

Hagerman National started using electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pumps for the first time in the year 2015. This process made handling fish easier for the hatchery staff and marking crews. The trailers were also parked in different locations in the 2016 marking season: Two trailers were between the upper and middle level raceways; and the third trailer was between Hatch House 1 and the lower level raceways. All three trailers used the electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pumps and one of the middle trailers used the forklift with transfer tank for a few tanks of fish that originated from Hatch House 1. The marking process increased efficiency and productivity with all three automated marking trailers using electric Matsusaka fish-transfer pumps.

This year the PIT-tagging program transitioned to the fall season. The program implemented two PIT-tag seasons; original season from January through March and the new season from mid-September through mid-November.
