In Idaho, estimates of wild steelhead encounter rates have been derived using the number of wild and hatchery steelhead passing Lower Granite Dam, the number of hatchery steelhead harvested, and the number of hatchery steelhead caught and released. The method includes assumptions that hatchery and wild steelhead have equal encounter rates and catch-and-release mortality is 5% for wild steelhead. Here, we investigated wild and hatchery steelhead encounter rates by anglers, estimated catch-and-release mortality, and concatenated both aspects to examine how existing recreational steelhead fisheries influence wild steelhead mortality.","PeriodicalId":19263,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Fisheries Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139498530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ueland","doi":"10.1002/nafm.10980","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nafm.10980","url":null,"abstract":"Advances in acoustic telemetry have assisted biologists in understanding migration patterns, space use, survival, and effects of human influences on aquatic species. Using fine-scale positioning, fisheries managers can quantify home range size fluctuations throughout the year and even identify spawning areas. Burbot population dynamics have been studied across their range, while movement dynamics have been briefly investigated. Our objective was to assess seasonal variations of Burbot space use using estimations of home-range size with an attempt to infer spawn timing. Thirty-two acoustic tagged Burbot were used to study home range size in Bad Medicine Lake, Minnesota, from April 2019 to June 2020. Female estimated home range size was significantly larger than males. Estimated home range size increased following ice formation in December and continued through March. Average home range estimates were largest in the middle of March, and smallest in April, assumed to be caused by spawning and post-spawn behaviors, respectively. Results suggest Burbot movement increased during winter months, which may cause potential increases in vulnerability during spawning. High exploitation rates are possible in situations where spawning and feeding Burbot encounter elevated angling pressure. Future research should continue to assess movement dynamics and potential site fidelity of Burbot populations by monitoring spawning grounds and if the same areas are used year after year. Results of this study improve the knowledge of areas used by Burbot in lakes, which can assist with management of Burbot in Bad Medicine Lake. Furthermore, we highlighted how Burbot movement increased during spawn timing, which could contribute to increased encounters with anglers.","PeriodicalId":19263,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Fisheries Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138715043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Quantifying the contributions of tributaries to large-river fish populations through mark-recapture modeling","authors":"Brian D. Healy, Emily Omana Smith","doi":"10.1002/nafm.10971","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nafm.10971","url":null,"abstract":"Tributaries may play a vital role in maintaining populations of large river fishes, although the specific contributions of tributaries toward recruitment of river-wide populations are not often understood. Tributaries may experience fewer cumulative anthropogenic impacts relative to mainstem rivers and may offer more natural conditions supportive of native fish populations, which may provide opportunities for fish population restoration. Thus, an improved understanding of tributary-mainstem population dynamics may inform targeted conservation actions for spatially structured populations of large-river fishes. Colorado River tributaries in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA are a focus of imperiled Humpback Chub <i>Gila cypha</i> conservation, which includes translocations to enhance population redundancy and to expand the overall population. However, the fate of fish dispersed to the mainstem has not been thoroughly quantified. Using open population mark-recapture models, we quantified the relative contribution of three groups of Humpback Chub, including fish of confirmed tributary origin that were either translocated or produced <i>in situ</i>, and others presumed to be Colorado River mainstem origin fish, to three mainstem populations. Our specific study objectives were to 1) estimate Colorado River abundances of tributary and mainstem-origin fish over time, 2) compare relative group-specific contributions to three mainstem populations, and 3) compare group-specific survival rates of Humpback Chub in the Colorado River and in a tributary where a recent translocation has occurred. Tributaries contributed 26% and 43% of the overall abundance in two tributary inflow reach populations, and zero in a third, which we attributed to uncharacteristically low tributary survival immediately following translocation. In the mainstem, survival of tributary-origin fish was higher compared to mainstem-origin fish, suggesting an advantage of tributary residence. Our contrasting results from three different tributary inflow populations highlight the potential role for tributaries in sustaining large-river fish populations, which may have important implications for long-term maintenance of river metapopulations.","PeriodicalId":19263,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Fisheries Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myrick, Brett M. Johnson","doi":"10.1002/nafm.10972","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nafm.10972","url":null,"abstract":"Natural dispersal or unauthorized introductions of nonnative predatory sport fish can undermine native species conservation and other fisheries management objectives. The use of reproductively sterile triploid fish may provide a lower-risk stocking option (i.e., genetic and reproductive containment) for diversifying angling opportunities while possibly reducing angler motivation to illegally transplant fish. Management interest in triploid Walleye <i>Stizostedion vitreum</i> is growing, and these fish are currently stocked by several fisheries agencies. Yet, little is known about the post-stocking growth, body condition, and survival of triploid Walleye, information that is important for calibrating expectations and guiding policy regarding their use. We compared the age-specific size, body condition, and survival of subadult (i.e., ages 0–3) triploid Walleyes to normal diploid conspecifics into two eastern Colorado reservoirs. Paired stockings of triploid and diploid Walleyes occurred over 3 years. Both fry and fingerlings were stocked each year. Triploids were generally smaller in length (6.6% on average) and weight (20.6%) compared to diploids across all age-classes. Despite being smaller, triploids had similar body condition relative to diploids. On average, the survival of triploids from spring-stocking to their first fall was 6.3x lower than that of diploids, but no differences in survival were observed beyond this early life stage. This pattern was consistent across cohorts and reservoirs. This work provides a foundation for future studies designed to clarify patterns of survival from spring to first fall by accounting for size-at-stocking and natural-origin fish, and those planned to assess the post-stocking performance of triploid Walleyes independent of diploids.","PeriodicalId":19263,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Fisheries Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
