Influence of Incision Location on Transmitter Loss, Healing, Incision Lengths, Suture Retention, and Growth of Juvenile Chinook Salmon

Abstract

This report documents a study conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) fisheries scientists for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (USACE). The research was conducted in an attempt to derive surgical implantation methods that have minimal influence on fish used in survival studies within the Columbia River basin. The USACE uses survival studies to determine the influence of its facilities or operations on fish.
