A three-dimensional model for analyzing the effects of salmon redds on hyporheic exchange and egg pocket habitat
A three-dimensional fluid dynamics model is developed to capture the spatial complexity of the effects of salmon redds on channel hydraulics, hyporheic exchange, and egg pocket habitat. We use the model to partition the relative influences of redd topography versus altered hydraulic conductivity (winnowing of fines during spawning) on egg pocket conditions for a simulated pool–riffle channel wi...
متن کاملSubstrate Alteration by Spawning Brook Trout in a Southeastern Wyoming Stream
-To measure the changes in substrate composition produced by spawning brook trout Salvefinus fontinalis, we collected 187 freeze-core samples, both before and after spawning, from egg pockets, inside redds but excluding egg pockets, and outside redds. In the upper strata of reddassociated samples, we found that the proportions of particles 0.85-1.70,0.425-0.85,0.2 12-0.425, and less than 0.212 ...
متن کاملDispersal and Within-Stream Spatial Population Structure of Brook Trout Revealed by Pedigree Reconstruction Analysis
—Spatial patterns of spawning and early dispersal have important implications for the population dynamics of stream-dwelling salmonids, but the limitations of marking technology have made it difficult to measure these processes in wild populations. We used microsatellite DNA markers and sibship and parentage analyses to follow the dispersal, spatial distribution, and distribution of reproductiv...
متن کاملDiscrimination of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead Redds and Evaluation of the Use of Redd Data for Estimating Escapement in Several Unregulated Streams in Northern California
—We developed and evaluated a stratified index redd area method to estimate Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, coho salmon O. kisutch, and steelhead O. mykiss escapement in several coastal streams in northern California based on the assumption that redd size is related to the number of redds a female builds. Sources of error in redd counts were identified, including the use of logistic re...
متن کاملScour of Chinook Salmon Redds on Suction Dredge Tailings
-We measured scour of the redds of chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha on dredge tailings and natural substrates in three tributaries of the Klamath River, California. We measured maximum scour with scour chains and net scour by surveying before and after high winter flows. Scour of chinook salmon redds located on dredge tailings exceeded scour of redds on natural substrates, although the d...
