Summary
These data include survival information for Cisco in the laboratory for up to 30 days after surgical implantation of two different sizes of Lotek acoustic tags. Three-hundred fish of a range of sizes were used for the implantation and controls of this experiment, which was repeated three time. Ancillary data of surgical condition, recovery, and time until death or tag expulsion were also recorded, as well as sizes at beginning and end of observation period and estimated growth.

Restoration of extirpated Cisco populations in Lake Ontario is being done using releases of cultured fish. During 2018 – 2019, researchers collected data to determine the feasibility of implanting acoustic tags in various sized juvenile Cisco. These data, along with acoustic telemetry data from tagged fish, will provide information needed to evaluate the survival of juvenile Cisco in Lake Ontario.
