A preliminary study of hatchery chinnok salmon smolts migrating in the lower Fraser River, determined by radiotagging
Presents results of a study investigating the feasibility of using radio tags to determine the migration routes, patterns of movement, and migration speed of chinook salmon smolts in the lower Fraser River. A specific part of the investigation assessed fish use of two constructed embayments in the river, one on Annacis Channel and another at Richmond Island. The researchers tagged the smolts with Advanced Telemetry Systems Model 392 transmitters (5-milliwatt) and tracked the fish in boats, with positions taken using a global positioning system receiver. Results presented include routes of fish released at Mission, below New Westminster, and between Ruskin and Port Main. Tidal and river current effects on smolt migration are also discussed.
