RFID Lowdown: Fishing For Information

The nature conservationists are at it again. And they’re harnessing the power of RFID to help them preserve and study the vagaries of the zoological kingdom. First it was wasps, now it’s fish – the Columbia River Basin Project is tagging migrating salmon and steelhead in the river to understand their lifecycle and study how the environment, fishing, hatcheries and power plants affect their survival. The river is the site of several hydropower systems and dams.
