17 The Salish Sea Image: Seattle P.I. This has led to questions to what extent the Pacific halibut harvested by the two sectors are different
18 The Salish Sea Image: Seattle P.I. This has led to questions to what extent the Pacific halibut harvested by the two sectors are different Based on analyses of otolith microchemistry: {Salish Sea} halibut may belong to a distinct stock that are significantly different from {Washington Coast} halibut. - Gao et al. 2012; Env. Biol. Fish 95:

20 The Salish Sea Image: Seattle P.I. Experiment conducted in designed to ask: Do female Pacific halibut remain in the southern Salish yearround, or do they join Offshore spawning groups? If Pacific halibut overwinter in the Salish Sea, is there evidence that they spawn there?
21 The Salish Sea Image: Seattle P.I. Experiment conducted in designed to ask: Do female Pacific halibut remain in the southern Salish yearround, or do they join Offshore spawning groups?

If Pacific halibut overwinter in the Salish Sea, is there evidence that they spawn there? If they depart, do they return afterwards or remain Offshore? Investigated via a small-scale pop-up archival tagging experiment
23 Pop-up Archival Transmitting (PAT) tags Computerized tag that records light, depth, temperature Tag is darted into the fish, just below the dorsal fin Allows for FOUR relevant analyses
24 Pop-up Archival Transmitting (PAT) tags 1 - Final locations Tag releases ( pops up ) on a pre-determined date and broadcasts to Argos satellites Tag signal is used to generate a positional fix Yields locations to within 50m: unbiased recovery, no matter where the fish is Graphic: Service ARGOS
25 Pop-up Archival Transmitting (PAT) tags 2 - At-liberty locations Light data can also be used to estimate at-liberty locations, under ideal conditions Graphic: Tag-a-Giant Foundation
26 Pop-up Archival Transmitting (PAT) tags 3 - Seasonal depth and temperature changes Depth data can be used to define seasons from the perspective of the fish
27 Pop-up Archival Transmitting (PAT) tags 4 - Short-period depth = active spawning 1/12 Day 1/14 1/16 1/18 1/20 1/22 1/24 1/26 Short period vertical rises were discovered in archival depth records in 2004 (Seitz et al., Env Biol Fish 73: ) 89:30 83:04 93:27 Nigh t 90:27 - Evenly-spaced, very rapid, only in mid-winter, occur 5-8 times and then stop Jul 26 Jul 27 Jul m at the peak Jul 29 Jul 30 Jul 31 Off-bottom egg release in a batch spawner 7 minutes up and 24 back down 470 m at base elevation
