How DART Fits In

DART actively maintains relationships with16 regional projects

5

The design of DARThas evolved to accommodate the increasing variety and amount

data

6

In 1994 DART gathered data from 21 sites in near Real-Time

DART Web-based Data Retrieval and Analytical Processing

Archive regional data and provide standardized access of data from 1938 through the present

Data extraction and graphs tools efficiently integrate data by location and time

Online analyses for user defined selections of real-time and historical data

Complex data aggregation and analysis for monitoring status and trends of populations

Specialized data retrieval and analyses for scientists and managers upon request

Newest ToolColumbia Basin Instream

Arrays & Subbasins

with Interrogation and Recapture datasets

WDFW needed to analyze complex

movement of individual fish

Notable Management Results1996 at request of BPA to serve needs of NOAA and TMT inseason management, developed aggregation

processes to identify and report on the migration of ESU / DPS populations based on PTAGIS data

2002 developed Adult PIT Tag Conversion Rate analysis tool in response to NOAA and expanded to further meet requests from Grant County PUD and Douglas County PUD

2002 provided reservoir elevations and flows for the NW Power and Conservation Council’s Power Supply Outlook Update web page on a daily basis

2006 implemented a life stage filter to identify and aggregate PIT Tag observations by life stage

2009 developed ability to examine winter runs to all appropriate web-based queries in response to Yakima Basin Fish & Wildlife Recovery Board request

2009 in response to NW River Partners and AMIP developed Adult Passage All Species Summary report that includes comparison by species of current year cumulative passage to 4 and 10 year running averages

2010 at request of Hood River Production Program Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, developed the PIT Tag Release and Observation Summary with Tag File Selection query for generating survival and travel time estimates

2011 developed Valid Sample List and Sample Time reporting for the Integrated Status and Effectiveness Monitoring Program (ISEMP) to assist Idaho Fish and Game, Nez Perce Tribe, Quantitative Consultants, Inc., NOAA in "year-around" PIT tagging operation at Lower Granite Dam Ladder Trap to estimate escapement of adult spring/summer Chinook salmon and steelhead in Snake River tributaries

2011 in cooperation with WDFW and response to AMI, developed report and analysis suite, integrating PTAGIS interrogation and recapture datasets, to address the growing needs for specialized reporting for the PIT Tag Instream Arrays being deployed in Intensively Monitored Watersheds (IMWs)

Benefits Fish and Wildlife Management

The DART project provide valuable information on fish populations and the hydrosystem to research, management and the public. Database: a single portal of historical and real time information

increases data management efficiency. Analysis Tools: designed in collaboration with researchers and

managers, fish status, trends and river conditions are efficiently evaluated.

Forecast Tools: daily forecasts of juvenile/adult salmon passage plus temperature and dissolved gas levels allow in-season adaptive management of hydrosystem operations.

Staff: provides data integration, data aggregation, data assembly, and analysis to users in the region.
