Sample Design: Gas Bubble Trauma Resident Fish Sampling

The details of this Sample Design, including all the parameters used to generate it, are included below. Sample designs must belong to a Study Plan.

Description

Native, resident fish will be collected below Ice Harbor Dam and Lower Granite Dam from April 3 to June 15 and below McNary and Bonneville dams from April 10 to June 21 each year from 2021 to 2025. Spatially, fish will be collected within 5 miles of each dam. Temporally, fish will be collected weekly below each dam during the spring spill period. Fish will be opportunistically collected from shallow-water habitat that can be effectively sampled with seines or backpack electrofishers. The target sample size will be 100 fish per week per dam, with a 50 fish minimum, that will comprise at least 3 species.

The following species will also be collected and transported to the USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory for testing in gas bubble trauma progression and mortality experiments: Three-spined stickleback, sculpin sp., northern pikeminnow, and larval lamprey. Stickleback will be collected downstream of Bonneville Dam or at Crims Island in the lower Columbia River with a beach seine. Sculpin sp. will be collected downstream of Bonneville Dam at Ives Island with a backpack electrofisher. Juvenile northern pikeminnow will be collected in Lower Granite Reservoir with a beach seine. Larval Pacific lamprey will be collected from silty tributary or side-channel habitats of the Columbia River. Approximately 1,000 fish of each species will be collected.

AOI Notes

On this project, subyearling fall Chinook salmon will be sampled from shallow-water habitats and examined for GBT. It is likely that subyearlings collected below Ice Harbor Dam will be from the Snake River fall Chinook ESU. It is likely that subyearlings collected below Bonneville Dam will likely be from the Lower Columbia fall Chinook ESU.
