Book Spawning Abundance of Chinook Salmon in the Taku River in 2003

Download or read book Spawning Abundance of Chinook Salmon in the Taku River in 2003 written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cooperative study involving the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation was conducted to estimate the number of spawning Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Taku River in 2003 with a mark-recapture experiment. Fish were captured at Canyon Island on the lower Taku River with fish wheels from May through August and were individually marked with back-sewn, solid-core spaghetti tags. All tagged fish were also batch marked with an opercle punch plus removal of the left axillary appendage. Sampling on the spawning grounds in tributaries was used to estimate the fraction of the population that had been marked. The estimated spawning abundance of small Chinook salmon ( 400 mm long; mid-eye to fork of tail) was 3,489 (SE = 1,052). Spawning abundance of medium-size Chinook salmon (401-659 mm) was estimated to be 16,780 (SE = 2,274). Finally, spawning abundance of large-size fish (= 660 mm) was estimated to be 36,435 (SE = 6,705), and the estimated total of all fish was 56,704 (SE = 7,158). The sum of the peak aerial survey counts of large spawning Chinook salmon conducted at five index tributaries of the Taku River was 16% of the mark-recapture estimate. Age 1.3 fish (1998 brood year) constituted an estimated 40% of the spawning population, followed by age 1.2 fish (1999 brood year), which constituted an estimated 29% of the population

Book Mark recapture Studies of Taku River Adult Sockeye Salmon Stocks from 1998 to 2002

Download or read book Mark recapture Studies of Taku River Adult Sockeye Salmon Stocks from 1998 to 2002 written by James Everett Andel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annual mark-recapture studies of adult Taku River sockeye salmon (Oncorhyncus nerka) stocks were conducted by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Taku River First Nation from 1998 to 2002. The objectives of the program were: to provide annual inseason estimates of the inriver abundance of sockeye salmon and to document biological characteristics (migratory timing, migratory rates and age, sex, and size composition) of Taku River sockeye stocks. Marked-to unmarked ratios of salmon harvested in the Canadian inriver gillnet fisheries were used to develop estimates of the inriver abundance of sockeye. During the years 1998 to 2002, an annual averageof 5,349 sockeye salmon were tagged in fish wheels located at Canyon Island, Alaska, of which an average of 1,080 (20.2%) sockeye were subsequently recovered in fisheries or on the spawning grounds.The annual post-season inriver runestimates of sockeye salmon past Canyon Island from 1998 to 2002 was estimated to be 91,548, 113,705, 115,693, 192,269, and 135,233, fish respectively. Annual inriver Canadian commercial, aboriginal and test fisheries combined harvested 19,038, 20,681, 27,942, 47,998, and 31,053 sockeye salmon during those same years (1998 to 2002). The resulting annual spawning escapement estimtes for Taku River sockeye salmon from 1998 to 2002 was 72,271, 95,562, 87,298, 144,071, 103,343, fish respectively.The migratory timing (mean dates and standard deviation of migration) and run timing of the sockeye salmon run was similar to the 15 year average. The Kuthai Lake sockeye salmon stocks dominated the early portion, the Little Trapper Lake the middle portion, and the Tatsamenie Lake and mainstem stocks the late portion of the Taku River sockeye salmon run. Pink fish wheel catches were strong in 1998 and 1999 but below average in 2000 to 2002. Chum salmon fish wheel catches for this 5-year period continued to exhibit the trend of low catches that began in the mid-1980's.

Book Water  Cultural Diversity  and Global Environmental Change

Download or read book Water Cultural Diversity and Global Environmental Change written by Barbara Rose Johnston and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with UNESCO A product of the UNESCO-IHP project on Water and Cultural Diversity, this book represents an effort to examine the complex role water plays as a force in sustaining, maintaining, and threatening the viability of culturally diverse peoples. It is argued that water is a fundamental human need, a human right, and a core sustaining element in biodiversity and cultural diversity. The core concepts utilized in this book draw upon a larger trend in sustainability science, a recognition of the synergism and analytical potential in utilizing a coupled biological and social systems analysis, as the functioning viability of nature is both sustained and threatened by humans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With sixty descriptive maps and accompanying text, The Biodiversity Atlas of British Columbia provides a broad overview of the province?s range of terrestrial and freshwater biological diversity. Bringing together data from numerous sources summarized in map form, the Atlas provides a window to B.C.?s diverse ecosystems, the species that live in them, and the elements of British Columbia?s biodiversity that make it globally significant. The Atlas also presents a visual perspective of a number of human-induced threats, including climate change, affecting biodiversity in B.C. today. The Atlas is designed to serve as a companion document to Taking Nature?s Pulse: The Status of Biodiversity in British Columbia ? a comprehensive scientific assessment of biodiversity in the province. Both the Atlas and Taking Nature?s Pulse are projects of Biodiversity BC, a partnership of conservation groups and government agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a late summer day, many years ago, a young man set out on a voyage through the mountains. He never reached his destination. When his remains were discovered by three British Columbia hunters, roughly three hundred years after he was caught by a storm or other accident, his story had faded from even the long memory of the region's people. First Nations elders decided to call the discovery Kwäday Dän Ts'ìnchi--Long Ago Person Found. The discovery of the Kwäday Dän Ts'ìnchi man raised many questions. Who was he and how did he die? Where had he come from? Where was he going, and for what purpose? What did his world look like? But his remains, preserved in glacial ice for centuries, offered answers, too--as did the traditional knowledge and experience of the Indigenous peoples in whose territories he lived and died. In this comprehensive and collaborative account, scientific analysis and cultural knowledge interweave to describe a life that ended just as Europeans were about to arrive in the northwest. What emerges is not only a portrait of an individual and his world, but also a model for how diverse ways of knowing, in both scholarly and oral traditions, can complement each other to provide a new understanding of our complex histories.
