FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA MANUSCRIPT REPORT SERIES No.1l74 Area and Locality Codings for British Columbia Herring Biological Data by R. S. K. Isaacson and A. S. Hourston Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo, B.C. January 1972 INTRODUCTION British Columbia herring catch, spawning and sampling data are identified geographically by area and locality. Areas recorded (Fig. 1) are modifications and subdivisions of the statistical areas used by the Markets and Economics Branch to record catches (Isaacson and Hourston M$ 1972). In herring population analyses it has been observed that herring from some localities resemble those from nearby areas more closely than those from the statistical area in which the locality is located and should therefore be grouped with the former for population analysis. Any data for these localities which are coded by statistical area (MEB code) must be revised to the appropriate "biological" area and locality (FRB code) for use in population analyses.

  • Stable Isotope Analysis
    GLAUCOUS‐WINGED GULLS LARUS GLAUCESCENS AS SENTINELS FOR A CENTURY OF ECOSYSTEM CHANGE – LONG‐TERM TRENDS IN THEIR POPULATION, DIET, AND EGG PRODUCTION IN NORTH AMERICA’S SALISH SEA by Louise Katherine Blight M.Sc., Simon Fraser University, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Forestry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2012 © Louise Katherine Blight, 2012 Abstract Ecological studies characterising population trends over decades or centuries can help to describe the range of variability in a study system, with well‐studied species being strong candidates for providing the long‐term data required for retrospective studies. Seabirds represent useful real‐time monitors of marine systems and may also play this role in studies characterizing historical ecological change. The glaucous‐winged gull L. glaucescens is a generalist marine bird occurring in the Salish Sea, an urbanized coastal area of southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington, where it has been studied or collected since the mid‐1800s. Its twentieth‐century populations experienced dramatic growth followed by a steep decline, with recent trajectories unclear. I used multiple methods to characterise long‐ term trends in gull number, diet, and egg production, and to test hypotheses about causes of population change. My approach combined meta‐analysis of historical reproductive traits, statistical modeling of population trend, and stable isotope analysis (δ13C, δ15N) of historical and modern gull feathers and forage fish, with modeled population trend showing a continued decline in gull numbers from the 1970s to the present. Meta‐analytical results showed decreasing egg and clutch size and a delayed lay date over the twentieth century to the present, while stable isotope analysis showed declining feather δ13C and δ15N since 1860, all of which were consistent with a growing reliance by gulls on non‐fish foods.
