This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The growth of Seward Peninsula sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) from Salmon and Glacial lakes is related to their physical environment. Dermal scales collected over many years were measured to document the annual age specific growth of smolts and adults. The effect of fertilization on fry growth was examined using the first year of growth. The growth histories of Salmon Lake sockeye salmon were compared to Glacial Lake sockeye salmon through smolting and in the marine environment. Annual age specific fry growth had no direct relationship to fertilization; however, there were interactions between biomass of salmon prey and fertilization, and between prey biomass and age of smolting. Glacial Lake age-1 smolts are the same size as Salmon Lake age-1 smolts, but age-1.3 Salmon Lake juveniles after their first year in the ocean are smaller than age-1.3 Glacial Lake juveniles suggesting lower size based mortality. The differences in growth histories show each population's response to lake production and mortality experienced by smolt between the rearing lake and the ocean"--Leaf iii.

Wallace and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the distribution, relative abundance and diet of fishes sympatric with juvenile sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum), within the freshwater nursery areas of the Naknek River system was undertaken from 1961 to 1963. The study was part of an extensive investigation to determine what factors in the freshwater environment were limiting the size of the populations of sockeye salmon returning to the rivers of Bristol Bay, Alaska. The speties found associated with juvenile salmon in the limnetic zones of the Naknek system were the pond smelt, Hypomesus olidus (Pallas); the least cisco, Coregonus sardinella Valenciennes; the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus Linnaeus; and the ninespine stickleback, Pungitius pungitius (Linnaeus). Life history information was collected for these sympatric species. Tow nets were used to capture samples of fish from the limnetic portions of the nursery areas. Some samples were collected by beach seines, lake traps and otter trawls. Plankton samples were collected and compared to the diets of the limnetic fishes. Although some confusion has existed in the literature, I concluded that pond smelt of the Naknek system belong to Hypomesus olidus (Pallas). The populations of smelt were comprised of six age-groups in the late summer, but most specimens belonged to three age-groups. Most members of the species spawn in the spring of the fourth year of life. The estimated fecundity ranged from 900 to 4,300 eggs per female. Seven age-groups of least ciscoes were present in the populations of the Naknek system. The species in the Naknek system probably spawned for the first time in the fall of their fourth year. The estimated fecundity of two specimens was 4,006 and 14,380 eggs. Populations of three spine stickleback were comprised of three age-groups of fish. I was unable to assign ages to ninespine stickleback. Estimates of the fecundity of the species ranged from 116 to 456 eggs per female. All species studied were distributed throughout the Naknek system. The relative abundance of the fishes studied was variable between and within nursery areas and from year to year. The population densities of pond smelt and threespine stickleback were larger in the surface waters compared to the deep waters. The relative abundance of sockeye fry, yearlings and ninespine stickleback was greater in the surface stratum rather than the deep stratum in most nursery areas. The five main food items utilized by these limnetic species were cladocerans (Bosmina sp. and Daphnia sp.); copepods (cyclopoid copepods and Diaptomus sp.); and Dipteran insects. Analysis of the similarity of diets indicated that the diets of sockeye fry and pond smelt were more similar than were the diets of sockeye fry or yearlings and any other sympatric species. The diet of sockeye fry was more similar to that of either species of stickleback than was the diet of sockeye yearlings. An analysis of the food of various sizes of each species of fish indicated the diets of three age-groups of smelt were more similar than the diets of various age-groups of any other fish. The food composition of three age-groups of ciscoes and two size groups of both species of stickleback showed a strong positive correlation. The diets of sockeye fry and yearlings showed the weakest positive correlation of the species studied. All species of fish studied selectively fed on one or more components of the zooplankton. Daphnia sp. and cyclopoid copepods were strongly selected in Lake Coville. Cyclopoids were selected in South Bay. Bosmina sp. was selected from the waters of West End. In Lake Coville, the greatest potential competition for food probably existed between the large populations of pond smelt and sockeye fry. In the West End nursery area, potential competition between juvenile salmon and both species of stickleback may not be severe, depending on the age composition of the salmon population present in the nursery area. The possibility exists that the relatively low numbers of adult sockeye salmon returning to the comparatively rich lakes of the Naknek River system is due to the presence of large populations of sympatric species of fish. Each of these sympatric species feed on the same general types of food organisms as do the juvenile salmon and may affect the numbers of young salmon that leave the lake, and subsequently return from the ocean.

Book excerpt: A three-day symposium was organized by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and convened at Nanaimo, British Columbia in November 1985. Advice on subject matter and participation came from an external committee of senior scientists and administrators in contributing agencies in Canada, Japan, the United States, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The papers included in the proceedings deal with sockeye biology and stock management. Papers on sockeye biology are divided into those concerned primarily with life history strategies and enhancement and development. Papers dealing with management are divided into the tools of management and management of some principal stocks.

Book excerpt: Juvenile sockeye salmon rearing in Babine Lake were re-examined 22 years after the initiation of the Babine Lake Development Project (BLDP). Abundance, distribution, size, and species composition of the limnetic fish populations, including juvenile sockeye salmon, were determined by hydroacoustic and midwater trawl surveys in the autumn of 1993 and the summer and fall of 1994 and 1995 and compared to results collected before and shortly after the start of the BDLP. Our objectives were to look for: 1) changes in the abundance of juvenile sockeye relative to spawning numbers; 2) changes in the utilization of the available nursery area; and 3) the effects of increased popualtion size and density on the size and growth of juvenile sockeye.

Book excerpt: Chilkat Lake, in northern Southeast Alaska, is home to a Sockeye Salmon Oncorhynchus nerka population that is an important component in local commercial, sport, and subsistence fisheries, and has been monitored since the late 1960s. The population began declining in the late 1980s, prompting fishery managers to evaluate the production potential of Chilkat Lake to determine if it could be a candidate for enhancement efforts such as fry stocking or lake fertilization. Sockeye Salmon fry were stocked into Chilkat Lake intermittently from 1989 to 2004 in both small- (

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much attention has been given to juvenile Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) ecology with particular focus on pelagic food webs in deep nursery lakes. In contrast, this study took place at Afognak Lake, Alaska, to better understand juvenile Sockeye Salmon foraging ecology, potential consumer interactions, and metabolic opportunities and constraints in a shallow nursery lake. I collected fish every two weeks from Afognak Lake from May through August, 2013. I described ontogenetic and temporal variation in the diets of juvenile Sockeye Salmon and a potential competitor, adult Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Notably, this study revealed that adult aquatic insects are an important prey item for lake rearing juveniles. Threespine Stickleback diets showed some overlap with diets of juvenile Sockeye Salmon; however, significant differences in diet composition suggest that Sockeye Salmon and Threespine Stickleback partition prey and habitat resources. I then used my field-derived temperature, demographic, and diet data as inputs to a bioenergetics model to estimate summer consumption rate and growth efficiency of juvenile Sockeye Salmon from Afognak Lake across a range of foraging scenarios. Consumption rate was greater and mean growth efficiency was lower for all littoral-use scenarios relative to pelagic-use scenarios. Further, daily consumption was lowest and mean growth efficiency was highest for model scenarios in which insects were a dominant component of the diet relative to scenarios in which zooplankton were the dominant prey. My findings highlight the importance of benthic-pelagic coupling in Sockeye Salmon nursery lakes and the potential for juveniles to navigate trade-offs between energy acquisition and thermal conditions across lake habitats.

Ellis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Distribution, Abundance, and Growth of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon, Oncorhynchus Nerka, and Associated Species in the Naknek River System, 1961-64 In the summers of 1961 to 1963, juvenile sockeye salmon in the pelagic areas had a characteristic pattern of abundance. For the entire system: abundance (catch per tow) of age 0 increased from early summer to midsummer and then declined to late August. The abundance in late August varied about threefold and, in general, was independent of variations in the number of parents from 1960 to 1963. In July the abundance of age 0 fish in each basin was proportional to the amount of known contiguous spawning ground, but by late August this relation no longer existed. This change was at least partly due to migration of the age 0 fish - generally from basins of greater abundance of fish to those of lesser abun dance. The larger and faster growing fish were the first to migrate. Not all basins were involved in these migrations.
