Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To better understand steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations and habitat capability in Southeast Alaska, stream habitat and fish use surveys were conducted in Ratz Creek watershed on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, from 2009 to 2011. The overall goal of this project was to develop a model to assess the carrying capacity of steelhead in Southeast Alaska streams, based on the relationship between usable habitat area and steelhead production. Ratz Creek was the fourth watershed out of eight to be surveyed for this project. During habitat surveys, the stream network was mapped and individual stream reaches were classified according to fluvial process group and channel type. Several stream reach characteristics were measured, including reach length and channel bed width. Large woody debris and macro-pools were counted to characterize the available habitat. These data have been found to be important indicators of fish habitat in other streams occupied by salmonids, and were used to describe existing conditions of the stream reaches surveyed for this project. Snorkel surveys and minnow traps were used during fish use surveys to identify stream reaches occupied by steelhead. When steelhead were observed in a reach, the channel bed width and reach length were multiplied together to estimate steelhead usable habitat area for that reach. Adult steelhead occupied a total of 10 stream reaches, including reaches in the mainstem and in a significant tributary stream, resulting in a total adult usable habitat area of 9.46 ha. In addition to the reaches occupied by adults, juvenile steelhead were observed in 10 additional reaches, for a combined total of 12.52 ha of usable habitat area. Existing production data for Ratz Creek were used to calculate an estimated 45 adults/ha and 126 smolts/ha of total usable habitat area.

Download or read book Manual for Aging Steelhead Trout Scales Based on Scale Sampling from Sitkoh Creek Big Ratz Creek and Other Southeast Alaska Streams 2003 2011 written by David Champlain Love and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual documents methods useful for standardized sampling and aging of steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) scales in Southeast Alaska. Steelhead trout scale aging can be a subjective process without standardized methods and criteria for aging and known-age samples for comparison; these methods improve precision and accuracy of estimated ages and overall consistency. Methods and criteria based on observed scale morphology were developed from samples of 2,557 scales collected from resident parr, emigrant smolt, and migratory rainbow trout, and also from 2,315 immigrant adult steelhead trout collected from several different locations in Southeast Alaska from 2003 to 2011. Typical scale characteristics used to age steelhead trout include identification of first annulus, interpretation of plus growth, representative circuli counts and fork length criteria for estimating smolt ages, and comparison to morphology from known-aged adult samples. Characteristics of regenerated scales, spawning checks, false checks, and plus-growth useful for interpretation of scale morphology are also discussed. Variable life history of steelhead trout as related to scale morphology is discussed. Steelhead trout juvenile and smolt scale aging methods for freshwater life history include triplicate reads, use of criteria to improve precision, and aging practice from validated smolt scales. Expected scale morphology for the marine portion of adult steelhead trout scales collected from known ocean-age fish is presented. Methods for evaluating scale aging consistency through testing within-reader precision (repeatability), and between-reader relative accuracy are suggested. Annotated images of representative scale samples from parr, smolt, and adult steelhead trout are provided for reference as is a list of known-age, or matching-age scale, images to be used for training. Standardizing protocols and criteria used to age Southeast Alaska steelhead trout scales along with methods to evaluate technician performance are suggested as a means to ensure consistency and continuity in aging methods for future scale aging of steelhead trout in Southeast Alaska.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful and definitive guide brings together the world's lead leading expert on North American trout and salmon, Robert Behnke, and the foremost illustrator in the field, Joseph Tomelleri. North America is graced with the greatest diversity of trout and salmon on earth. From tiny brook trout in mountain streams of the Northeast, to cutthroat trout in the rivers of the Rockies, to Chinook salmon of the Pacific, the continent is home to more than 70 types of trout and salmon. How this came to be, how they are related, and what makes them unique -- and so breathtaking -- is the story of Trout and Salmon of North America. The more than 100 illustrations of trout and salmon by Joseph Tomelleri showcased here exhibit a genius for detail, coloration, and proportion. Each portrait is made from field notes, streamside observations, photographs, and specimens collected by the artist. The result is a set of the most accurate and stunning illustrations of fish ever created. Robert Behnke has distilled 50 years of his research and writing about trout and salmon in completing this book. No one understands better than Behnke the diversity and conservation issues concerning these fishes or communicates so lucidly the biological wonders and complexities of their particular beauty. Also included are more than 40 richly detailed maps that clearly show the ranges of populations of trout and salmon throughout North America. An irresistible delight for anyone who appreciates natural history, Trout and Salmon of North America is a master guide to the natural elegance of our native fishes.

Download or read book A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species written by Robert A. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.
