    Technical Memorandum Charles River Watershed 2002 Fish Population Monitoring and Assessment Robert J. Maietta Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Division of Watershed Management Worcester, MA October 2006 CN 077.3 Charles River Watershed 2002-2006 Water Quality Assessment Report Appendix G G1 72wqar07.doc DWM CN 136.5 Introduction Fish population surveys were conducted using techniques similar to Rapid Bioassessment Protocol V as described originally by Plafkin et al. (1989) and later by Barbour et al. (1999). Standard Operating Procedures are described in MassDEP Method CN 075.1 Fish Population SOP. Surveys also included a habitat assessment component modified from that described in the aforementioned document (Barbour et al. 1999). Fish populations in the Charles River watershed were sampled by electrofishing during the late summer of 2002 using a Smith Root Model 12 battery powered backpack electrofisher. A reach of between 80m and 100m was sampled by passing a pole- mounted anode ring, side to side through the stream channel and in and around likely fish holding cover. All fish shocked were netted and held in buckets. Sampling proceeded from an obstruction or constriction upstream to an endpoint at another obstruction or constriction, such as a waterfall or shallow riffle. Following completion of a sampling run, all fish were identified to species, measured, and released. Results of the fish population surveys can be found in Table 1. It should be noted that young-of-the-year (yoy) fish from most species, with the exception of salmonids, are not targeted for collection. Young-of-the-year fishes that are collected, either on purpose or inadvertently, are noted in Table 1.

Zoar Picnic Area & River Launch If you have been out on the Deerfield or Green Rivers, you have noticed popular public access parking areas closed or severely restricted and increased levels of policing of the river launch points, parking areas, and access roads. Soon there will be towing of parking violators in the new “No Parking” areas within the Town of Charlemont. This is all in response to increasing river use and the resulting safety issues created by a subset of river users and human pressure felt by some in the local communities. The DRWA has been pushing very hard to reverse this trend of limiting river access.
