Biomark Inc. – Boise company’s high-tech gear collects data that can influence salmon policy

Should dams in the lower Snake River be breached to give Northwest salmon a better shot at thriving?

Is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ practice of carrying fish around dams as they head toward the Pacific Ocean helping them survive?

A small Boise company that quietly has been designing and deploying fish-detection systems for nearly two decades is helping answer those questions.

Biomark Inc. http://www.biomark.com/ , with about 20 employees, is busy creating systems to account for fish as they migrate. The company, at 703 Americana Blvd., also implants fish with half-inch chips that transmit data when they come within range of antennas the company installs in streams or hatcheries.
