Conservation physiology in practice: how physiological knowledge has improved our ability to sustainably manage Pacific salmon during up-river migration.
Despite growing interest in conservation physiology, practical examples of how physiology has helped to understand or to solve conservation problems remain scarce. Over the past decade, an interdisciplinary research team has used a conservation physiology approach to address topical conservation concerns for Pacific salmon. Here, we review how novel applications of tools such as physiological t...
متن کاملElectromyogram Telemetry, Nondestructive Physiological Biopsy, and Genetic Markers: Linking Recent Techniques with Behavioral Observations for the Study of Reproductive Success in Sockeye Salmon Mating Systems
Sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka cease foraging before entering freshwater (Brett 1995; Hinch et al. 2006), so they must complete migration, develop gonads and secondary sexual characters, and spawn using stored energy. Research examining energy use by sockeye salmon during upriver spawning migrations (Brett 1995; Hendry and Berg 1999; Crossin et al. 2004) has revealed that successful migrants...
متن کاملVariable thermal experience and diel thermal patterns of homing sockeye salmon in coastal marine waters
Temperature is recognized as a key factor influencing physiology, behaviour and survival of anadromous salmonids, yet little is known about their thermal experience, nor factors affecting it, during marine homeward migrations. In 2006 and 2010, approximately 1000 Fraser River sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka were captured and tagged in coastal marine waters, ~215 km from the river mouth, durin...
متن کاملEnvironmental conditions and physiological state influence estuarine movements of homing sockeye salmon
The reproductive migration of anadromous salmonids through estuarine waters is one of the most challenging stages of their life cycle, yet little is known about the environmental and physiological conditions that influence migratory behaviour. We captured, sampled tissues, tagged and released 365 sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) homing through inner coastal waters towards the Fraser River, B...
متن کاملBehaviour and physiology of sockeye salmon homing through coastal waters to a natal river
Adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka, N = 179) from six Fraser River populations (British Columbia) were intercepted in continental shelf waters »215 km from the Fraser River mouth, gastrically implanted with acoustic transmitters, non-lethally biopsied for blood biochemistry, gill Na,K-ATPase activity and somatic energy density and then released. Migration behaviour and travel times to the...
