The purpose of this project was to develop training and replace out-dated hand-held electronic CWT detection equipment for recovery of CWTs from DFO Coho escapement programs with the new Northwest Marine Technology Inc. T-wand to increase accuracy in sampling of CWTs. Deployment of this new equipment advances the management of Coho fisheries, allowing for increased confidence in Interior Fraser Coho escapement estimates and run timing which may allow for increased exploitation on other Pacific Salmon stocks.
