PERFORMANCE METRICS
• System Survival
• PIT Tags• Released near head of
reservoir • Collected in FSC and
passed downstream of Cushman Project
• Extenuating Factors
• Examples:• Residualism • Predation
– Characterize co-variates

PERFORMANCE METRICS
• Fish Capture Efficiency
• PIT Tags/Active Tags• Released near FSC• Cross “start line”• Collected in FSC and
passed downstream of Cushman Project
• Paired groups• Passive and active
tags• Assumption that they
behave the same and cross “start line in similar proportions”

CONSULTANT OBJECTIVES
1. Create Database• System Survival• Fish Capture Efficiency• Co-variates• Weekly Reporting
2. Measure Fish Capture Efficiency• Multiple release groups of PIT tagged fish• Subsample with active tags to estimate Zone of Influence• Provide Behavioral Information
3. Analytical and Statistical Support• Study setup• Weekly updates• Report writing

APPROACH
• Study Fish Origin• Release Timing• Flexibility left to proposer• Equipment type (radio or acoustic)• Staffing Plan
• Tacoma field staff assistance• Combination of staff• All contractor staff
