Detections, Physical Captures, Water Quality, and Fish Health Data Related to Suckers Held in Four Net Pens in Upper Klamath Lake, 2019

October 23, 2023

To determine how a low cost oxygenation system affected survival of captively reared juvenile suckers, we introduced Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tagged juvenile suckers into three net pens in Upper Klamath Lake. The suckers originated from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Sucker Assisted Rearing Program in Klamath Falls, Oregon which rears suckers collected as larvae in Upper Klamath Lake including Lost River sucker (Deltistes luxatus), shortnose sucker (Chasmistes brevirostris), and Klamath largescale sucker (Catostomus synderi). Suckers were monitored continuously by PIT antennas. These data contain all remote detections from the PIT antennas, all physical captures, and the water quality data associated with each net pen.
