JVJoseph H VinarcsikKJKara E JaeneckeAPAdam F Palik

Key Points

  • The aim is to detect migrating juvenile Pacific salmon marked with PIT tags in the Columbia River estuary.
  • Continuous multi-year study conducted in the Columbia River estuary.
  • Fish detection using a surface pair trawl with six antennas configured in a matrix.
  • Antennas positioned in three parallel pairs at the front and rear of the trawl.
  • Successfully detected multiple juvenile salmonids during the migration period using the antenna matrix.

Abstract

In 2025, we continued a multi-year study in the Columbia River estuary to detect migrating juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. marked with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags. Fish were detected using a surface pair trawl with a matrix of rectangular antennas fitted into the cod end. The matrix was configured with three parallel antennas in front and three in the rear, totaling six individual antennas.
