Current- Coded-wire tag project and Central Valley Tissue Archive
- Collected, processed, retrieved, and archived coded-wire tags from adipose fin clipped Chinook Salmon collected in carcass surveys, and at state fish hatcheries
- Applied proper techniques and safety procedures for processing salmon heads, coded-wire tag retrieval, decoding, and verification of coded-wire tag data
- Collected Chinook Salmon and Steelhead scale samples at fish hatcheries, and processed scale samples collected at hatcheries and other salmonid survey programs
- Collected Chinook Salmon and Steelhead tissue samples at Feather River Fish Hatchery, Mokelumne River Hatchery, Nimbus Hatchery, State Water Project, and Central Valley Project facilities
- Assisted with data entry of coded-wire tag reads
