Buffalo, NY. 45 pp. Thursday February 2, 2017 Keynote Speakers 8:35 AM-9:20 AM Title: Lake Sturgeon recovery: Optimism for long-term success Author: Ron Bruch Affiliation: Fisheries Chief (retired), Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources Contact: [email protected] Abstract: Biologists who have worked with Lake Sturgeon are all aware of the devastating declines in abundance and habitat the species experienced in the Great Lakes and elsewhere throughout its range in North America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Yet today in the early part of the 21st Century Lake Sturgeon populations overall enjoy much greater protection from over-exploitation, and have greater opportunities for recovery and sustainability throughout their range than they have experienced since the early 19th Century. A combination of factors including: increased attention over the last 30-40 years by state and provincial governments to effectively manage harvest and conduct proper assessments, increased public awareness of LS and their extreme vulnerability to overexploitation, improvements in assessment techniques, improvement in LS propagation techniques and stocking strategies, exponential expansion of population studies and research, increasing awareness and efforts to improve habitat and water quality, and the formation of the North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish and World Sturgeon Conservation Societies have all contributed to greater protection and recovery potential. While these are all positive steps that collectively should allow many LS populations to continue or start down the road to recovery, there are still waters and populations that may not be getting the attention needed to allow their recovery to occur.

  • Holocene Climate Change in Keuka Lake, Ny
    Lyons, D.I. 2006. 19th Annual Keck Symposium; http://keck.wooster.edu/publications GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT: HOLOCENE CLIMATE CHANGE IN KEUKA LAKE, NY DAVIN I. LYONS Skidmore College Sponsor: Kyle Nichols INTRODUCTION Site Description Lakes often respond to variations in temperature Keuka Lake is the third largest of the 11 Finger and precipitation by changing their hydrologic Lakes by surface area (47 km2) and fifth by balance. Previous studies suggest the timing of volume (1.4 km3) (Mullins et al., 1996) (Fig1 lake highstands and lowstands in the Midwest Not available). The lake has two unique does not correlate with those in the eastern characteristics compared to the other Finger United States. The mid-Holocene Hypsithermal Lakes. It has a Y-shape and it drains eastward (~9 - ~5 ka) is recorded as a period of warm, dry into another Finger Lake, Seneca Lake. Its climate in western and central North America present morphology results from the deepening (COHMAP 1988; Dean et al. 1996), but as a of pre-existing stream valleys during the warm, wet interval in the eastern Great Lakes Wisconsin glaciation, which explains why the region (Dwyer at al. 1996; Silliman et al. 1996). Keuka Lake is narrow (3.3 km max. width) and In the White Mountains, NH, pollen records long (32 km). The narrow, deep basin (up to indicate a moister climate than present between 57 m) allows for the collection of undisturbed 10,000 and 8,000 yr BP and a warmer period sediment that preserve suitable records of (2°C warmer than present) occurred at ~9,000 environmental changes since the retreat of the yr BP (Shuman et al., 2002; Davis et al., 1980).

  • Species/Watershed Educator, Yates County Cooperative Extension, 417 Liberty Street, Penn Yan, New York 14527
    Species/Watershed Educator, Yates County Cooperative Extension, 417 Liberty Street, Penn Yan, New York 14527. Canandaigua Lake can now add a new name to its growing list of invasive aquatic species – starry stonewort. Observed during an aquatic vegetation training event along a northern shoreline two years ago and this year at the south end of the lake near the West River, starry stonewort is now estimated to be covering at least 30 acres of the lake bottom. Native to Europe and western Asia, this invasive species was first observed in the St. Lawrence River in 1978, presumably released in ballast water. It was discovered in the Great Lakes in 1983 and spread to inland lakes shortly thereafter. Starry stonewort is a macro-algae, a simple multi-celled organism descended from some of the earliest lifeforms on the planet. It resembles a vascular plant but the main body consists of large stem-like cells, up to 30 cm long, together with branch whorls resembling leaves that radiate upward from nodes of smaller cells. It is anchored by colorless rhizoids that contain several star-shaped bulbils, vegetative propagules with a long dormancy. Rhizoids as well as the entire surface of the organism can absorb nutrients. Starry stonewort can grow to 2 meters in height but is often smaller creating dense, mounded colonies in the littoral zone of lakes and slow flowing rivers. Dispersal to adjacent waters is likely by fragments moved on boats as well as oocytes attached to bird feathers and fur of aquatic mammals. Local spread after establishment is likely by bulbils.

  • Skaneateles Lake 2020 Angler Diary Letter
    April 6, 2021 To: Skaneateles Lake Angler Cooperators Dear Fellow Anglers: We have compiled the data from the 2020 diaries and are sending you the summary information, your 2020 diary and additional diaries for 2021 if needed. Thank you for your participation. We would like to increase the number of angler cooperators in our diary program. If you didn’t return your diaries this year, please do so next year. You may be removed from the mailing list if you do not participate. If you know anyone who might want to participate, please encourage them to join by calling (607) 753-3095 ext. 213 or emailing fwfish7@ dec.ny.gov. Skaneateles Lake receives annual stockings of approximately 20,000 rainbow trout and 9,000 landlocked salmon as part of a largely put, grow, and take fishery. There is some level of rainbow trout natural reproduction from the tributaries, but its contribution to the lake population is unknown. In 2017, we began a multi-year study to determine the relative contribution of the two strains of rainbow trout which we stock into Skaneateles Lake. Since the early 1980’s we have been stocking the lake with both “Finger Lakes Wild” strain rainbow trout and a “hybrid” cross between Finger Lakes Wild strain and a “domestic” strain of rainbow trout. Starting in 2017 all stocked rainbows received a fin clip which will enable us to differentiate between the two strains. This study will continue for 2 more years. It is vital that you pay attention and look for fin clips on rainbow trout in the coming years.
