P4 Tagging Software and MRR Data Model Preview

John Tenney, Nicole Tancreto and Craig WhitePacific States Marine Fisheries Commission

A Presentation for the 2015 PIT Tag Workshop

Overview

• P4: Next-Generation Tagging Software• Compatible P3 Replacement• Beta version later this year• Enhanced MRR Data Model

What is the MRR Data Model?

• MRR: Mark, Recapture, Recovery Events• Mark: fish tagged and released• Recapture: subsequent handling/release of tagged fish • Recovery: report mortality of tagged fish

• Data Model: fields, relationships and validation• Regional Standards• Consistent data spanning 27 years• Goal: enhance data model + maintain data consistency

and integrity

Detail

Tagging File Format and Support

• Continue support for legacy tagging file • Upload via P3 and Email• Enhanced MRR data model not supported• Import into P4

• P4: new file format and upload features• Improve feedback• Specifications to be published

Proposed MRR Field Enhancements

• Event Type • Values: Mark, Recapture, Recovery, (other)• Related Conditional Comment Flags optional (RE, M)• Tag Date => Event Date; Tag Site => Event Site

• Event Date and Release Date include time zone offset• Dates entered in local time• Converted to PST in PTAGIS

• Coordinator ID now Tag Data [Project ID]• Identify individual or long term research project• Data can transition between contacts over time • History of contacts maintained

Proposed MRR Field Enhancements

• Optional Lat/Long Coordinate for Release Location• Complimentary with River KM (RKM)

• Associate codes of other tag types• CWT, Acoustic, Genetic, Radio

• Other Requested Fields• BPA FWP Project Number• Life Stage• Gender• Spawn Year• Tag Type• Project/User Defined

Advantages of P4 using Enhanced MRR Data Model

• Compatible with existing data collection and reporting• P4 Tag Session can contain• > 9,999 records• Multiple MRR events for same tag• e.g. Mark + Recapture records for 3D9.1BF1234568

• MRR Events spanning multiple days and locations• Each MRR event record owns a copy of header fields

• Global (header) fields in Tag Session limited to:• Project ID, Session Message and Session Note
