Provisional Fish Release Plans for the Current Fiscal Year PROVISIONAL FISH RELEASE PLANS FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR This document contains “provisional” or “conditional” plans for fish plants for the current fiscal year. While these fish plants are the intended plans for the year, they will not be guaranteed due to unforeseen circumstances or acts of nature (for example, droughts, fires or floods). Definitions 1. Fingerling- 16.1 fish per pound or smaller (less than 5 inches in length). 2. Sub Catchable- between 16.0 and 6.1 fish per pound (about 7 inches in length). 3. Catchable- between 6.0 and 1.0 fish per pound. Most frequently 2.0 fish per pound (about 12 inches in length). 4. Super Catchable- larger than 1.0 fish per pound, up to 0.34 fish per pound (up to about 19 inches in length) 5. Trophy- greater than 2.99 pounds per fish; or 0.33 fish per pound or larger (larger than about 19 inches in length) Acronyms 1. RT- Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) 2. ELT- Eagle Lake Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aquilarum) 3. LCT- Cutthroat Trout (Lahontan)- (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi) 4. BK- Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) 5. BN- Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) 6. CHIN- Chinook Salmon (land-locked)- (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) 7. KOK- Kokanee Salmon (land-locked)- (Oncorhynchus nerka) 8. GT- Golden Trout- (Oncorhynchus aguabonita) 9. STL- Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Page 1 of 29 10. Angler’s Take (catchable, super catchable and trophy) - fish are planted with intent to provide angling activity. 11. Grow Out (also known as “put and grow” and includes fingerlings and some subcatchables) fish are planted with intent to provide fish opportunity to grow and develop in natural environment, to provide angling activity in following years.

  • Long-Term Captive Breeding Does Not Necessarily Prevent Reestablishment: Lessons Learned from Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout
    Rev Fish Biol Fisheries DOI 10.1007/s11160-011-9230-x RESEARCH PAPER Long-term captive breeding does not necessarily prevent reestablishment: lessons learned from Eagle Lake rainbow trout Gerard Carmona-Catot • Peter B. Moyle • Rachel E. Simmons Received: 7 March 2011 / Accepted: 18 July 2011 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 Abstract Captive breeding of animals is often cited recovering as habitat. With the exception of an as an important tool in conservation, especially for abundant alien brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) fishes, but there are few reports of long-term population in Pine Creek, the habitat factors that led (\50 years) success of captive breeding programs, to the presumed near-extinction of Eagle Lake rainbow even in salmonid fishes. Here we describe the captive trout in the early twentieth century have been amelio- breeding program for Eagle Lake rainbow trout, rated, although the final stages of reestablishment Oncorhynchus mykiss aquilarum, which is endemic (eradication of brook trout, unequivocal demonstration to the Eagle Lake watershed of northeastern Califor- of successful spawning migration) have still not been nia. The population in Eagle Lake has been dependent completed. The Eagle Lake rainbow trout story shows on captive breeding for more than 60 years and that long-term captive breeding of migratory salmonid supports a trophy fishery in the lake. Nevertheless, fishes does not necessarily prevent reestablishment of the basic life history, ecological, and genetic traits of wild populations, provided effort is made to counter the subspecies still seem to be mostly intact. Although the effects of hatchery selection and that natural management has apparently minimized negative habitats are restored for reintroduction.

  • 1 EAGLE LAKE RAINBOW TROUT Oncorhynchus Mykiss Aquilarum
    EAGLE LAKE RAINBOW TROUT Oncorhynchus mykiss aquilarum (Snyder) Status: High Concern. The Eagle Lake rainbow trout (ELRT) does not exist as a self-sustaining wild population because of dependence on hatchery propagation. Habitat degradation and the presence of alien brook trout in Pine Creek, the ELRT’s principal spawning grounds, along with continued reliance on hatchery production to maintain the ELRT population will make it increasingly difficult to re-establish a wild population. Description: This subspecies is similar to other rainbow trout in gross morphology (see Moyle 2002), but differs slightly in meristic counts, especially in having finer scales than coastal rainbow trout. It is also distinctive in possessing 58 chromosomes, rather than the 60 typical of other rainbow trout (Busack et al. 1980). Taxonomic Relationships: Snyder (1917) described this trout as a subspecies of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri aquilarum. However, Hubbs and Miller (1948) examined Snyder's specimens and concluded that ELRT were derived from hybridization between native Lahontan cutthroat trout (presumed to have occupied Eagle Lake prehistorically) and introduced rainbow trout. Miller (1950) later retracted the hybridization theory. Needham and Gard (1959) then suggested that ELRT were descended from introduced or immigrant rainbow trout from the Feather or Pit River drainages. Behnke (1965, 1972) proposed a redband-rainbow hybrid origin, although redband trout are now considered to be rainbow trout subspecies. Busack et al. (1980), in an extensive electrophoretic, karyotypic and meristic analysis, suggested that ELRT were derived either from immigration or an unrecorded introduction of a rainbow trout with 58 chromosomes. The distinctive morphology, ecology, and physiology of this form all point to ELRT being derived from natural colonization from the Sacramento River drainage.

  • III. Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout/Tishes of Pine Creek and Eagle Lake
    III. Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout/Tishes of Pine Creek and Eagle Lake It is from a storied prize catch that comes a secretive past: the Eagle Lake rainbow trout of disagreed upon origin is no longer naturally reproducing. History has been less than kind to the ELRT as actions of the past created potential extinction. Timely intervention and persistence in restoration efforts has brought the ELRT to a sort of crossroads today: hatchery production provides a quality fishing experience for visitors to Eagle Lake (and other waters in the western United States), while efforts to improve habitat has likely made spawning grounds accessible once again. The missing link at this point is whether the fish still have the capability to ascend Pine Creek at an opportune time to spawn and return (or for progeny to return) to complete their life cycle. All fish have been completely stopped by the dam in their upstream quest to migrate at the trapping and spawning facility near Spalding. From 1959 through 1994, ELRT were known to migrate past the dam during years of high flow when conditions allowed them to pass. Reconstructed in 1995 to more effectively prevent erosion and upstream movement of fish, it is highly unlikely that any ELRT have made it over the barrier. Questions arise as to the ability of these "hatchery" fish to know when to migrate, and where or how far upstream to go. Have we raised fish that are prograrnmed to spawn earlier now than in the past? If fish today are many generations removed from upstream migration, will they know how far to go, or know which stream or segment provides spawning gravels? Is it important to have these fish spawn naturally and occupy their "original" habitat? The CRMP group must continue to work on the answers to these questions.

  • Attachment I Trout Temperature Requirements
    Amended Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment (APDEA) FERC Project Nos. 2085, 2175, 67 and 120 5.2.4 Aquatic Resources ATTACHMENT I TROUT TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS (LITERATURE REVIEW) Copyright 2007 by Southern California Edison Company February 2007 Attachment I Attachment I – Rainbow Trout Temperature Requirements Introduction In the PDEA, water temperature was evaluated with respect to criteria for trout found in the literature. These criteria were used to evaluate which bypass reaches may have temperatures that potentially affect habitat suitability for trout and thereby could affect meeting water quality objectives. This attachment summarizes recent literature for O. mykiss, with an emphasis on rainbow trout, in support of these criteria. Literature values for other fish species are summarized in Attachment H - Life History and Habitat Requirements of Fish Species in the Project Area. Daily mean temperature criteria were developed to assess whether temperatures would be suitable for fish growth and daily maximum temperature criteria were developed to assess conditions that would stress fish. Preferred temperatures are often considered a reasonable estimator of beneficial/optimal temperatures. Fish can withstand short-term exposure to water temperatures higher than those needed for longer-term growth or survival without significant negative effects. Based upon the best available information for regional streams, the temperature evaluation criterion applied to assess conditions for suitable trout growth is a mean daily water temperature at or below 20°C. A daily maximum temperature of 24°C was applied as a criterion for short-term high- temperature exposure, above which temperatures are expected to be stressful for trout. This section reviews studies that were used to develop these criteria.

  • Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN NOTES ON THE CUTTHROAT AND RAINBOW TROUTS WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES FROM THE GILA RIVER, NEW MEXICO THE trouts of western North America have long provided rec- reation to the outdoorsman and perplexing problems to the systematic ichthyologist. The notorious variability of these fishes, in coloration as well as in body form and meristic char- acters, has led to the recognition of no less than 33 nominal species, many of them based on only 1 or a few specimens (Jordan, Evermann, and Clark, 1930: 56-59; Snyder, 1933, 1934, 1940). It is probable that the status of a number of these forms may never be securely clarified. The endless transplantation of stoclcs, with much interbreeding in hatcher- ies and in nature, has made it extremely difficult, often im- possible, for the specialist to identjfy specimens with assur- ance. Many stocks have been either extirpated or greatly modified through alterations of the environment and through the widespread stocking of exotic forms, which often eliminate the native trout or hybridize with them. A few species seem to have been exterminated. The emerald trout of Pyramid Lake, Nevada (Map I), Salmo smaragdus Snyder, rare even 35 years ago, is almost surely extinct. The royal silver trout, Salmo regalis Snyder, a species confined to the deep waters 2 Robert Rush Miller Occ. Papers of Lalre Tahoe, California and Nevada (Map l), has not been taken for many years and is presumed to be extinct. Angling enthusiast Richard S. Croker, of the California Division of Fish and Game, has assured me that Salmo everma~zniJordan and Snyder, which once abounded above the falls of Santa Ana River in southern California (Map I), disappeared about 1935, when he caught what may have been the last pure sample of this interesting species.
