Introduction: Tagging, telemetry, and marking compendium project

Goal and Objectives of the Compendium

The goal of this compendium is to integrate profiles of on-going, individual, disparate efforts implementing the science of tagging, telemetry, and marking (TTM) into a compilation of experience to inform the development of fish population monitoring. This is accomplished by meeting the following objectives:

• Provide the region with information and peer reviewed analyses to facilitate optimization of the use of TTM technology and designs in a comparable and consistent manner.

• Provide findings that are organized, peer reviewed, and communicated widely.

• Increase the opportunity for data collection to provide more reliable information and result in improved analyses and higher confidence in data analyses for making informed and more relevant decisions.
