  • CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME ' CONSERVATION of WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION'
    REPRINT FROM CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME ' CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION' . VOLUME 50 APRIL 1964 NUMBER 2 ANNUAL ABUNDANCE OF YOUNG STRIPED BASS, ROCCUS SAXATILIS, IN THE SACRAMENTO- SAN JOAQUIN DELTA, CALIFORNIA' HAROLD K. CHADWICK Inland Fisheries Branch California Department of Fish and Game INTRODUCTION A reliable index of striped bass spawning success would serve two important management purposes. First, it would enable us to determine if recruitment is directly related to spawning success. If it is, we could predict important changes in the fishery three years in advance. Second, it would give insight into environmental factors responsible for good and poor year-classes. Besides increasing our understanding of the bass population, this knowledge might be used to improve recruit- ment by modifying water development plans in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta under the State Water Resources Development System. Fyke net samples provided the earliest information on young bass distribution (Hatton, 1940). They were not promising for estimating abundance, and subsequent sampling of eggs and larvae with plankton nets also had important limitations (Calhoun and Woodhull, 1948; Cal- houn, Woodhull, and Johnson, 1950). An exploratory survey with tow nets in the early summer of 1947 (Calhoun and Woodhull, 1948) found bass about an inch long dis- tributed throughout the lower Sacramento-San Joaquin River system except in the Sacramento River above Isleton. This suggested the best index of spawning success would be the abundance of bass about an inch long, measured by tow netting. In 1948 and 1949 extensive tow net surveys were made to measure the relative abundance of young bass in the Delta between Rio Vista and Pittsburg (Erkkila et al., 1950).

  • CALFED Ecosystem Restoration Program End of Stage 1 Report: Chapter 4
    4. HABITATS 4.1. Tidal Perennial Aquatic Habitat Introduction Tidal perennial aquatic habitat consists of the estuary’s edge waters, mudflats and other transitional areas between open-water habitats and wetlands. Similar habitats are defined by the San Francisco Bay Area Wetlands Ecosystem Goals Project (1999) as elements of tidal baylands which include mudflats, sandflats, and shellflats. Tidal perennial aquatic habitat is important for many fish, wildlife, and plants. It also supports many biological functions important to the Bay-Delta system. Many animal and plant species, identified as threatened or endangered under the California and federal Endangered Species Acts (ESAs), rely on tidal perennial aquatic habitat during some portion of their life cycle. These shallow waters are also associated with natural wetland and riparian habitats that are important to fish and wildlife of the Bay-Delta. Applicable ERP Vision The vision is to increase the area and improve the quality of connecting waters associated with tidal emergent wetlands and their supporting ecosystem processes to assist in the recovery of special-status fish and plant populations and provide high- quality aquatic habitat for other fish, wildlife, and plant communities dependent on the Bay-Delta. Stage 1 Expectations Stage 1 expectations were to develop a classification system for Delta, Suisun Bay, Suisun Marsh, and San Francisco Bay habitats that can be used as a basis for conservation actions. Specific, numeric objectives were to be formulated for each habitat type, with restoration objectives based on clearly stated conceptual models. Conservation and restoration activities would be prioritized within and among habitat types. Work would begin on those projects given highest priority within a year of adoption of the strategic plan.
