Turner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Kenneth P. Sebens, Chair Megan N. Dethier Daniel E. Schindler Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Biology ii University of Washington Abstract Effects of fish predation on benthic communities in the San Juan Archipelago Kevin R. Turner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Kenneth P. Sebens Department of Biology Predation is a strong driver of community assembly, particularly in marine systems. Rockfish and other large fishes are the dominant predators in the rocky subtidal habitats of the San Juan Archipelago in NW Washington State. Here I examine the consumptive effects of these predatory fishes, beginning with a study of rockfish diet, and following with tests of the direct influence of predation on prey species and the indirect influence on other community members. In the first chapter I conducted a study of the diet of copper rockfish. Food web models benefit from recent and local data, and in this study I compared my findings with historic diet data from the Salish Sea and other localities along the US West Coast. Additionally, non-lethal methods of diet sampling are necessary to protect depleted rockfish populations, and I successfully used gastric lavage to sample these fish. Copper rockfish from this study fed primarily on shrimp and other demersal crustaceans, and teleosts made up a very small portion of their diet. Compared to previous studies, I found much higher consumption of shrimp and much iii lower consumption of teleosts, a difference that is likely due in part to geographic or temporal differences in prey availability.

  • Urchin Rocks-NW Island Transect Study 2020
    The Long-term Effect of Trampling on Rocky Intertidal Zone Communities: A Comparison of Urchin Rocks and Northwest Island, WA. A Class Project for BIOL 475, Marine Invertebrates Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory, summer 2020 Dr. David Cowles and Class 1 ABSTRACT In the summer of 2020 the Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory Marine Invertebrates class studied the intertidal community of Urchin Rocks (UR), part of Deception Pass State Park. The intertidal zone at Urchin Rocks is mainly bedrock, is easily reached, and is a very popular place for visitors to enjoy seeing the intertidal life. Visits to the Location have become so intense that Deception Pass State Park has established a walking trail and docent guides in the area in order to minimize trampling of the marine life while still allowing visitors. No documentation exists for the state of the marine community before visits became common, but an analogous Location with similar substrate exists just offshore on Northwest Island (NWI). Using a belt transect divided into 1 m2 quadrats, the class quantified the algae, barnacle, and other invertebrate components of the communities at the two locations and compared them. Algal cover at both sites increased at lower tide levels but while the cover consisted of macroalgae at NWI, at Urchin Rocks the lower intertidal algae were dominated by diatom mats instead. Barnacles were abundant at both sites but at Urchin Rocks they were even more abundant but mostly of the smallest size classes. Small barnacles were especially abundant at Urchin Rocks near where the walking trail crosses the transect. Barnacles may be benefitting from areas cleared of macroalgae by trampling but in turn not be able to grow to large size at Urchin Rocks.

Constant commercial fishing for groundfish has occurred since the 1960s. The implementation of areas closed to bottom trawling to protect critical habitat for fish or crabs resulted in successful management of these fisheries. The efficacy of these closures on non-target species is unknown. This study determined if differences in abundance, biomass, diversity and evenness of dominant fish and invertebrate species occur among areas open and closed to bottom trawling in the eastern Bering Sea between 1996 and 2000.

The recent sea star die-off throughout the eastern Pacific, known as Sea Star Wasting Disease, has prompted a need to understand spatial and temporal patterns of seastarassemblages and the environmental variables that structure these assemblages. We examined spatial and temporal patterns in sea star assemblages (composition and density) across regions in the northern Gulf of Alaska and assessed the role of seven static environmental variables (distance to freshwater inputs, tidewater glacial presence, exposure to wave action, fetch, beach slope, substrate composition, and tidal range) in influencing sea star assemblage structure before and after sea star declines.
