  • Eulachon Past and Present
    Eulachon past and present by Megan Felicity Moody B.Sc., The University of Victoria, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2008 © Megan Felicity Moody, 2008 Abstract The eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus), a small anadromous smelt (Family Osmeridae) found only along the Northwest Pacific Coast, is poorly understood. Many spawning populations have suffered declines but as their historic status is relatively unknown and the fisheries poorly documented, it is difficult to study the contributing factors. This thesis provides a survey of eulachon fisheries throughout its geographical range and three analyses aimed at improving our understanding of past and present fisheries, coast-wide abundance status, and the factors which may be impacting these populations. An in-depth view of the Nuxalk Nation eulachon fishery on the Bella Coola River, Central Coast, BC, is provided. The majority of catches were used for making eulachon grease, a food item produced by First Nations by fermenting, then cooking the fish to release the grease. Catch statistics were kept yearly from 1945-1989 but have since, rarely been recorded. Using traditional and local ecological knowledge, catches were reconstructed based on estimated annual grease production. Run size trends were also created using local Fisheries Officers and Nuxalk interview comments. A fuzzy logic expert system was designed to estimate the relative abundance of fifteen eulachon systems. The expert system uses catch data to determine the exploitation status of a fishery and combines it with other data sources (e.g., CPUE) to estimate an abundance status index.

By wildness, we have in mind landscapes that are relatively self-maintaining, with full vegetation and faunal assemblages present, and where the human communities are in a close and sustainable relationship with the local ecosystem. Flourishing, and intact, we view wild landscapes as important in, and of, themselves; for cultural reasons, and as indicators of ecological health. Round River works closely with local, national and international con- servation organizations to ensure the integrity of wild lands and waters for generations yet to come. We employ the principles of conservation biology to formulate strategies to provide our partner organizations and communities confidence in their decisions and to provide a well founded scientific basis for their long-term conservation planning efforts.
