Celewycz, Adrian G. AFSC Unknown database http://www.rmpc.org/external/rmis-standard-reporting.html Information on the recovery of all CWT salmonids throughout the Pacific region is available in an on-line coastwide database, the Regional Mark Information System (RMIS). This database (see http://www.psmfc.org/rmpc/index.html ) is maintained by the Regional Mark Processing Center (RMPC) of the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to facilitate exchange of CWT data between release agencies, sampling/recovery agencies, and other data users. NOAA Fisheries at Auke Bay Laboratories (ABL) is responsible for maintaining several different components of this coastwide CWT database including recovery records of CWT salmonids from Federal research programs in Alaska as well as tagged adult salmonid returns to Federal research facilities in Alaska. Also included are CWT recoveries from the bycatch of Federally-managed high seas fisheries such as the Gulf of Alaska groundfish fishery, the Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands groundfish fishery, the Pacific hake trawl fishery off Washington-Oregon-California, the limited-entry rockfish trawl fishery off Washington-Oregon-California, the limited-entry non-hake groundfish trawl fishery off Washington-Oregon-California, and the limited-entry sablefish fixed gear fishery off Washington-Oregon-California. Additionally, CWT recovery records from both domestic and foreign high seas research programs are also maintained by ABL. To maintain a comprehensive database for coded-wire tag recovery information. 1980 2009 publication date In work Annually North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Alaska, and Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands -151 -120 64 34 ISO 19115 Topic Category Biota 002 None Coded-wire tags coded wire tag CWT salmon high seas release Geographic Names Information System Alaska None multiple species vertebrates Empire Biovitae Carbon-based lifeforms Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Superclass Osteichthyes Class Actinopterygii Subclass Neopterygii Infraclass Teleostei Superorder Protacanthopterygii Order Salmoniformes Family Salmonidae Subfamily Salmoninae Genus Oncorhynchus Species gorbuscha pink salmon Species keta chum salmon Species kisutch silver salmon Species mykiss steelhead Species nerka sockeye salmon Species tshawytscha king salmon There are no legal restrictions on access to the data.

International North Pacific Fisheries Commission, North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission Microsoft Access database not applicable All cwts are blind read by 2 people during processing. Field Snouts are collected from research programs or commercial fisheries based on either visual (indicator fin clip) or electronic detection of the magnetized tag. Coded-Wire Tags (CWT) are dissected out of the snouts of salmon, and pertinent recovery data are entered into a database along with each tag code. See methodology for more details.
