Fish Release Inputs
Overview
This parameter provides particle release information. It defines where, when, and how many particles will be released in a simulation.

Field Descriptions
Number_Of_Release_Groups
Description: The number of defined release groups. Fish within a release group are all released from the same location, but they can be released at different times.
Example: Number_Of_Release_Groups: 2
Group_
Description: Defines the release location, timing, and number of fish within release group x
Example keyword: Group_1
Table: Release location (one entry)
NodeID
Description: The upstream node of the channel where the fish will be released
Example: 332
ChannelID/ReservoirName/Obj2objName
Description: The channel where the fish will be released
Example: 412
Distance
Description: Distance (feet) of the station from the upstream node of the channel where the fish will be released
Example: 20
Station_Name
Description: Unique name used to identify the release location
Example: Sacramento
Table: List of release times and numbers of fish (multiple entries)
Release_Date
Description: The date to release the fish. This must be after the run_start_date defined in the ECO-PTM configuration file
Example: 03/18/2012
Release_Time
Description: The time at which to release the fish
Example: 1:00
Particle_Number
Description: The number of fish to release at this date and time
Example: 100
Release_Style
Description: How the fish should be distributed when they are released
Allowable entries: RANDOM
