Preliminary studies on the movement of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in Alberni Inlet, British Columbia, Inlet using ultrasonic telemetry / by S. Spohn, I.K. Birtwell, H. Hohndorf, J.S. Korstrom,...: Fs97-4/2355E-PDF

"The horizontal and vertical movement, and internal temperature of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) were examined using ultrasonic telemetry in Alberni Inlet, British Columbia. The sockeye salmon were captured by commercial seiner 4 km from the head of Alberni Inlet on July 29, 1994. Four transmitters which emitted depth, and three which transmitted temperature signals were each inserted into the stomach of seven anaesthetized adult sockeye salmon. Seven other salmon were fitted with dummy transmitters and all were released at the capture site after recovery from anaesthesia. The fish were identified with a caudal tag in case of capture in the fisheries. The position of the fish was identified by a portable global positioning system over the following 6 d, after locating the fish using ultrasonic receivers and hydrophones. …"--Abstract, page v.
