Book excerpt: San Francisco Bay Striper is a regional how-to book for catching one of our most popular game fish the striped bass. Basically the book follows the spring, summer, and fall migration of the striped bass throughout San Francisco Bay and our coastal zones from Marin to Half Moon Bay. For each local it covers the popular angling methods for taking these fish which can range from live bait fishing, casting from shore, boat trolling, and fly fishing. Although the striped bass populations have fluctuated dramatically since the books publication in 1983, and Fish & Game regulations regarding size and limits have changed for this fish, nevertheless the how-to techniques for catching striped bass still apply for the present. Also my brother Angelo and I have decided to put the book out for nostalgic reasons to give new readers a glimpse of what striper fishing was like in the past. Enjoy.
Download or read book Life History and Current Monitoring Inventory of San Francisco Estuary Sturgeon written by Joseph C. Heublein and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document describes life history and current monitoring of the two endemic sturgeon species of the San Francisco Estuary watershed: the southern Distinct Population Segment (sDPS) of North American green sturgeon green sturgeon and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River white sturgeon. It serves as background information used in the development of the conceptual models in Heublein et al. (2017). This document as well as Heublein et al. (2017) are fundamental in identifying existing and expanded monitoring needs necessary to track the status, trend, and viability of sDPS green sturgeon identified in National Marine Fisheries Service recovery planning efforts. Finally, this synthesized information is relevant in the development of future quantitative life cycle models for both sturgeon species. A comparative life history and a monitoring inventory are summarized below to relate areas where management actions and monitoring opportunities overlap for the two species and identify factors that may be unique to each species. More detailed life history descriptions and monitoring inventories follow; these are organized by species life stage"--Preface. [doi:10.7289/V5/TM-SWFSC-589(http://doi.org/10.7289/V5/TM-SWFSC-589)]
Download or read book Where the river meets the ocean Stories from San Francisco Estuary written by Peggy W. Lehman and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2022-11-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is an estuary? Where do they occur? How do they work? Who lives there? And why are estuaries important to our planet? This collection will answer all of these questions and more. Estuaries are places where fresh water from rivers moving downstream from the mountains mixes with salty water moving upstream from the ocean. Estuaries thus contain both fresh and salty water habitats (places) where many kinds of plants and animals can live and grow. San Francisco Estuary is the largest estuary on the West Coast of the United States and is home to millions of people, plants and animals. Our scientists have been studying all aspects of the San Francisco Estuary for nearly 50 years and we have 35 stories to tell about the people, plants, and animals in the estuary. We will tell you horror stories of how tiny poisonous plants and vampire fish kill other fish, and we have success stories of how conservation saves the lives of tiny mice in marshes and birds along the Pacific Flyway. The Collection of stories is divided into six sections, so you can easily find the stories that interest you the most. The first section describes the many kinds of habitats in the estuary, including rivers, shallow bays, wetlands, and marshes, and what makes them a good home for plants, animals, and people. In the second section, the water quality scientists will describe how they use boats, special instruments, and new technology to determine whether the water is healthy for people, plants, and animals. In the third and fourth sections we will tell stories about how plants and animals live in the estuary. Microbiologists will describe the tiny, microscopic plants and animals that live in the estuary, what makes them grow, how important they are as food for animals and why they are sometimes poisonous. Fish scientists will describe the many kinds of fish in the estuary and how we measure their growth, determine where they are, what they eat, and the ways they use both fresh and saltwater habitats to grow and raise their young. In the fifth section, scientists will discuss how invasions of plants and animals from outside of the estuary have changed habitats and the survival of native plants and animals. Lastly, in the sixth section, we will share how scientists in the estuary are using new technologies and management actions to control invasions of unwanted plants and animals, increase the growth of native plants and animals, improve water quality and restore habitats in the estuary.

Download or read book Niche Partitioning by Green Sturgeon Acipenser Medirostris and White Sturgeon A Transmontanus in the San Francisco Estuary and Sacramento River written by Emily Anne Miller and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niche partitioning allows two similar species to coexist through differential use of resources. Green Sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) and White Sturgeon (A. transmontanus) are two closely related species that inhabit the San Francisco Estuary and Sacramento River. To examine evidence of niche partitioning, I used acoustic telemetry to describe their movements in the watershed and stable isotope analysis to compare their dietary sources. The effect of acoustic tagging had been studied in White Sturgeon, but it had not been studied in Green Sturgeon. Despite some similarities in morphology and life history the two species have distinct differences. For this reason, one species cannot serve as a proxy for the other. For my dissertation, first I studied the effect of acoustic tagging on Green Sturgeon growth, incision healing, and swimming performance in the laboratory. The results demonstrated no detrimental effect of tagging on the Green Sturgeon so critical telemetry studies are justified when using recommended tagging practices. There were cases of inflammation around undissolved sutures so practices that reduce the number of sutures and the use of suture material that dissolves rapidly is advisable. Using these results, I could interpret my telemetry data as representative of untagged individuals. I tagged 41 Green Sturgeon and 160 White Sturgeon ranging from large juveniles to adults. I found that Green and White Sturgeon adults differed the timing of their migratory movements at every reach of the watershed. They also differed in their route selection through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. White Sturgeon were more likely to use northern sloughs and Green Sturgeon were more likely to use the mainstem of the Sacramento River. White Sturgeon also spent more time in the Delta prior to entering the Sacramento River and appears to be over-wintering behavior. Green Sturgeon spent significantly longer time in the spawning reaches than White Sturgeon, with some individuals staying nearly a year. Green Sturgeon juveniles and subadults were distributed lower in the system (more marine) relative to White Sturgeon juveniles and subadults. Juveniles and subadults of both species moved between the San Francisco Bay and Delta throughout the year. Finally, to compare differences in dietary sources, I collected whole blood and plasma samples from 26 Green Sturgeon and 35 White Sturgeon of various body sizes. Green Sturgeon had more marine d13C signatures than White Sturgeon. Larger sturgeon of each species had more marine d13C signatures than smaller sturgeon. Green and White Sturgeon did not have different d15N signatures for whole blood indicating that they fed at the same trophic level, but d15N values were lower for White Sturgeon than Green Sturgeon in plasma samples. This difference suggests White Sturgeon were feeding at a lower trophic level more recently, though not over a longer time scale. Length did not affect d15N signatures of either species. There is evidence of niche partitioning by Green and White Sturgeon spatially, temporally, and in the dietary sources.
