Description
Since 2010, we have tagged approximately 50,000 juvenile salmonids with passive integrated transponders (PIT) and acoustic micro transmitters (AMT). To capture and manage the physiological condition of these fish for compliance studies, we created a software suite called FishSuite!. FishSuite! has 5 platforms that expedite annotation, photographing, tracking, data entry, and reporting of biological data. The programs facilitate the documentation of fish physiological condition for several applications such as collection, tagging, and laboratory-based studies. FishBooth! documents the surgical procedures, effect of surgery including incisions and wound closing outcomes, external and internal condition, wound healing, and other activities. Since 2010, FishBooth! has catalogued over 120,000 photos of fish and surgical incisions. Fisheye! is an integrated recording system used to document thousands of injuries, maladies, and other meta-data that was subsequently stored in a relational database management system (RDBMS). FishNote! mines the FishBooth! image files for meta-data and the FishEye! RDBMS to merge and produce reports in .doc, .ppt, or .csv file format. In addition, FishNote! can query and integrate .csv P3 (PTAGIS) data. For holding and release activities, another set of programs, FishBucket! and FreeWilly!, can be used to identify and document the assigned tags implanted in the fish, assign a holding vessel, and track fish and vessels to release locations via GPS (including time and date). All applications are built to work independently or in concert with each other.

Comments
Dr. Woodley is a physiological ecologist with research interests in the conservation of anadromous fishes. Her project involvements range from 1) evaluating the effects of implanted tags on salmon passage through the hydropower systems; 2) expanding fish surgical techniques using novel materials including those previously only used on humans; 3) improving anesthetic induction techniques on juvenile salmonids to minimize stress and enhance recovery following surgical tagging; 4) assessing the biological impacts associated with rock blasting in the Columbia River basin; 5) evaluating the JSATS acoustic transmitter life using a new cable array hydrophone system. Dr. Woodley also is currently developing fish fitness and pathogen load indices; assisting with NCR projects including species identification, assessments, diversity indices and reporting; and working on finite state machine theory methodology to exemplify changes associated with climate change.
