Item Identification

Title:	Hood Canal Steelhead Parr and Smolt Data
Short Name:	Hood Canal Steelhead Parr and Smolt Data
Status:	Planned
Abstract:	Table contains data collected from 2006-2015 as part of the Hood Canal Steelhead Project. Data was collected on 8 rivers in the Hood Canal primarily from screw (smolt) traps and summer hook and line sampling for parr. Also included are some adult steelhead sampling data from tribal gill nets. It include length, weight, and age data primarily.

Data Attributes

Attribute Summary

	Name	Type	Description
100	Fish_ID	VARCHAR2	If DNA/scale sample were taken, than this code corresponds to those samples and identifies individual fish. Codes are in the form "River abbreviation-Number". Spring smolt traps and summer parr samples may have duplicate numbers for the same year and river.
100	Year	NUMBER	Year of data/sample collection. Units for values are Year.
100	Method	VARCHAR2	Describes method of data and sample collection. Either adult trap, screw trap, hook&line, gill net , electrofishing, or tribal fishery.
100	River	VARCHAR2	Name of the river where data collection and sampling took place.
100	Reach	VARCHAR2	Reach of the river where data and sample were collected.
100	Life_History	VARCHAR2	This is based on method of collection and size of the fish sampled. If fish was caught using a screw trap, fork length = 130mm are labelled as parr and fish with fork length > 130 are labelled as smolt. All other methods fish are labelled based on appearance/size.
100	Fork_Length	VARCHAR2	Fork length of the fish sampled. Units for values are millimeters.
100	Weight	VARCHAR2	Weight of the fish sampled. Units for values are grams.
100	Final_Age	VARCHAR2	Age of fish is determined by scale sample collection, and brought to WDFW fish scale aging laboratory in Olympia, WA. Units for values are Years.
100	Date_Sampled	DATE	Date that the fish was sampled including MM/DD/YYYY. Units for values are Date.
100	Scale_Sample	VARCHAR2	Was a scale sample taken for this fish? Either yes, no, or NA.
100	DNA_Sample	VARCHAR2	Was DNA sample taken for this fish? Either yes, no or NA (blank).
100	Lethal_Nonlethal	VARCHAR2	Was the sample taken lethal or nonlethal?.
100	Smolt_Index	VARCHAR2	Designation for fish caught in the smolt trap only. Categorized as a 1,2, or 3 based on appearance and coloration of fish. We will categorize steelhead captured in the trap with the following index. Enter the number (1, 2, or 3) corresponding to the classes below in the column SMOLT INDEX. ONLY use smolt index values of 1, 2, or 3. DO NOT use intermediate values (i.e., 1 or 2). i. Class 1 (non-smolt): parr marks distinct, showing no signs of smolting characteristics as described in Class 3. ii. Class 2 (pre-smolt): parr marks becoming faint, smolting characteristics beginning to appear. iii. Class 3 (smolt): parr marks absent or clearly assuming smolting characteristics such as, silvery appearance with black banded tail, nose, or dorsal fin; loosening of scales.
100	Yellowslash	VARCHAR2	Does the fish have a yellow slash present under their jaw. Used to determine hybrids.
100	LongJaw	VARCHAR2	Does the fish have a long jaw that extends past their eye? Used to determine hybrids.
100	Hybrid	VARCHAR2	Was this fish identified as a hybrid?.
100	Acoustic_Sample	VARCHAR2	Was this fish tagged with acoustic tag?.
