2009 PIT Tag Specification Document
From PTAGISWiki
The Columbia Basin PIT Tag Information System (PTAGIS) was implemented in 1991 to manage the collection, correlation, and exchange of PIT tag data from the Columbia and Snake rivers and their tributaries. PTAGIS encompasses dedicated data collection software, a centralized relational database management system, and standardized data descriptions and reporting processes.
This 2009 PIT Tag Specification Document provides the details of the expected format and content of data files contributed to the PTAGIS database. It also provides information regarding related processes and activities of general shared interest to PIT tag researchers and other parties in the Columbia Basin. This Specification Document supersedes all previous versions, and reflects the status of the PTAGIS data and meta-data dictionaries as of December 18, 2009.
