Use of habitat heterogeneity in salmonid spawning habitat rehabilitation design
A shortage of salmonid spawning habitat on dammed and regulated rivers has led to the popularity of spawning habitat rehabilitation projects. Habitat heterogeneity is thought to be an important feature of aquatic ecosystems, but specific metrics for design and assessment are lacking. In August 2002, ~ 2,786 metric tons of spawning gravels and 7 large boulders were placed in a 155 meter reach on...
متن کاملMacroscale Assessment of American Shad Spawning and Nursery Habitat in the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers, Virginia
—Variation in habitat suitability can alter the growth and mortality of early life stages of fishes but is often difficult to measure, quantify, and apply to the entire system. We designed and tested habitat suitability index (HSI) models incorporating both proximate riverine parameters and surrounding landscape features as determinates of optimal spawning and nursery areas for American shad Al...
متن کاملRapid assessment of the riparian zone habitat of river
Some riparian areas of the country are in danger of deterioration due to uncontrolled exploitation coupled with loose implementation of environmental protection policies and regulations. Muleta River, a major watershed in Bukidnon, Philippines, was assessed to determine the present condition of its riparian habitat. Abiotic and biotic conditions of the river were assessed. Other factors includi...
متن کاملSpawning Distribution and Habitat Use of Adult Pacific and Western Brook Lampreys in Smith River, Oregon
—Pacific lampreys Entosphenus tridentatus (formerly Lampetra tridentata) and western brook lampreys L. richardsoni are observed in many coastal Oregon basins; however, few data are available to adequately describe their distribution and spawning habitat associations. To document landscape-scale distribution and habitat use of spawning adult lampreys, we conducted biweekly redd surveys at 62 ran...
متن کاملCombining habitat and biological characterization: Ecological validation of the river habitat survey
Combining habitat and biological characterization: ecological validation of the river habitat survey The River Habitat Survey (RHS) is a widespread technique used to characterize the habitats at the fluvial sector level and to quantify the magnitude of physical disturbances. In this study we tested the ability of this method to discriminate sites along a gradient of perturbation and to analyse ...
