Corps of Engineers, Portland District (OR, USA), started
developing the Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System, a
nonproprietary sensing technology, to meet the needs for
monitoring the survival of juvenile salmonids through eight
large hydroelectric facilities within the Federal Columbia River
Power System (FCRPS). Initial development focused on coded
acoustic microtransmitters and autonomous receivers that could
be deployed in open reaches of the river for detection of the
juvenile salmonids implanted with microtransmitters as they
passed the autonomous receiver arrays. In 2006, the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory began the development of an a
