Status:   Active - Operational
Site Type: Instream Remote Detection System  |  Organization: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
General Operational Period: Year Round
Start Date: 2/18/2010 12:00 AM

TThe interrogation site is located on Taneum Creek. From 2010 through 2016, it was located near the mouth of the creek. In 2017, the site was relocated approximately 3 km upstream near the Taneum Canal Company diversion dam and fish screen. The site is currently operating two stream-width antennas in a pass over configuration, synchronized by a Biomark IS1001 Master Controller. Each antenna is approximately 8.5 meters (28 ft) in length and 1 m (3 ft) wide. Previous configurations used a Destron-Fearing FS1001M transceiver and had from 1 to 6 antennas.

The batteries were replaced and all firm ware was updated at the site, including the master controller, cellular modem and all three antenna nodes. There was also a corrupt external hard drive that was removed unlocking commands, so that we could remotely communicate with the master controller from our offices.
