Application of the Out-Migrant Survival Simulator (OMSS) using the SWARM modeling environment to study smolt-predator interactions

چکیده
The first goal of this modeling exercise was to model the rate of smolt migration and survival of different life history types of chinook salmon through a reservoir in the Snake River. The second goal was to use the model to help understand how physical and behavioral processes control the fish migration and survival. An applied goal is to predict the effects of Snake River Reservoir drawdown on the survival of migrating chinook smolts. We are interested to know whether fundamental behavioral attributes of predators and prey can be used to explain population level survival as observed in the field. When the key element have been identified, we will apply the principles to an unknown and unstudied river condition (drawdown) in order to anticipate predator prey relationships.

A model for the dynamical study of food-chain system considering interference of top predator in a polluted environment
The modeling investigation in this paper discusses the system level effects of a toxicant on a three species food chain system. In the models, we have assumed that the presence of top predator reduces the predatory ability of the intermediate predator. The stability analysis of the models is carried out and the sufficient conditions for the existence and extinction of the populations under the ...

متن کاملAn analysis of smolt survival with implications to flow management
Smolt survival through the Columbia/Snake river hydrosystem and tributaries of the Snake River are evaluated with the XT-model, which describes predator-prey interactions in terms of migration distance and time, temperature, turbidity, and a random encounter velocity between predators and prey. In this formulation, smolt survival depends on both distance traveled and exposure time, and the impo...
