    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Pacific Region Science Response 2017/031 REVIEW OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH RECENT AND PROPOSED OKANAGAN SOCKEYE SALMON FRY INTRODUCTIONS TO SKAHA AND OKANAGAN LAKES Context The Columbia River Basin supports a Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) aggregate that is composed of three Sockeye Salmon populations including: the Okanagan population from British Columbia (BC), Canada, the Wenatchee Lake population from Washington State, and a small population from Redfish Lake in Idaho that is listed under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA). On average, the Okanagan population has accounted for greater than 80% of all Sockeye Salmon returning to the Columbia Basin in the most recent decade. Anadromous Sockeye Salmon and freshwater-resident kokanee are two ecotypes within Oncorhynchus nerka that occur frequently as sympatric paired populations sharing a common nursery (juvenile-rearing) lake. The closely related ecotypic pairs typically develop naturally, with the presence of Sockeye Salmon believed to give rise to the subsequent development of kokanee. Okanagan Lake currently provides no access to Sockeye Salmon but contains shore- and stream-spawning kokanee that display limited morphological and genetic differentiation and may constitute incipient ecotypes. Okanagan Lake has experienced extensive environmental perturbation over the past 100 years and the evolutionary trajectory of the kokanee ecotypes (stable, increasing or decreasing genetic differentiation) is not known. As part of a program to introduce Sockeye Salmon into Okanagan Lake, the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) initiated introductions of hatchery-origin Sockeye Salmon to Skaha Lake as an initial, 12-year experiment to provide results to inform future introductions to Okanagan Lake.

  • Technical Report for Skaha Bench Sub-GI
    Skaha Bench Sub- Geographic Indication July 2018 Technical Description and Geographic Extent Documentation in support of a formal application to the BC Wine Authority for the creation of a new sub-GI named Skaha Bench. Scott Smith, Eterrna Consulting Pat Bowen, Summerland Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Page 1 Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIO N AND GEOGRAPHIC EXT ENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed sub-Geographic Indication (sub-GI) is located along the east side of Skaha Lake spanning a total length of approximately 10 km in a north south direction and an area of just under 365 ha. As of 2016, the delineated area contained approximately 75 ha of vineyards, split evenly between the northern and southern portions of the sub-GI. The delineation also encompasses areas of rock outcrop, a large residential area (Heritage Hills estates) and significant areas of orchard lands. The proposed sub-GI is composed of a single landscape element – the Late Pleistocene aged glaciolacustrine terrace (bench). The origin of the glaciolacustrine terrace and the nature of its surface relate to the period at the end of the last ice age during deglaciation when the temporary Glacial Lake Penticton existed some 12,000 to 10,000 years ago on the floor of the Okanagan valley including the area currently along the east side of Skaha Lake. The unconsolidated materials that underlie the terrace are for the most part comprised of silt and fine sand and without significant stone content. The soils that form on these sediments are very favourable for wine grape production.

  • Background and History Water Management of Okanagan Lake
    tzt @ Background and History of Water Management of Okanagan Lake and River Prepared by: B.J. $ym_gnds-, P. Eng. Water Management Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks Penticton. BC Since the early 1900's people have regulated the level and discharge of Okanagan Lake. These efforts have led to the development of the current system of dams and channelized reaches of river which control the waters from Okanagan Lake to Osoyoos Lake. The management of lake levels and flows has been controversial from the outset. Although early efforts at controlling Okanagan Lake were exclusively directed at improving navigation capability between Okanagan and Skaha Lakes, others interests soon surfaced. The first of these interests included the maintenance of minimum lake levels for navigation in shallow areas around the lake and a desire to reduce flood levels in Kelowna and other low lying areas. Following a prolonged drought between 1929- 1931 the value of the lake as a storage reservoir to support irrigation was also recognized. Still later fisheries, tourism and recreational interest began to receive consideration in the development of water management strategies. Even now, some 90 years since the initial efforts were made to manage Okanagan Lake and River and despite several attempts at consultation to reach agreement on the management of the lake, the regulation of the system remains controversial. Pre-Development Lake Levels : Very little data is available on the natural range of Okanagan Lake levels and outflows prior to regulation, although there are some anecdotal observations. About 1908 a request was made to the federal government for improvements to the channel of Okanagan River to permit small shallow draught vessels to operate between Skaha Lake and Okanagan Lake.

  • Skaha Lake Skaha Lake, Situated to the South of the City of Penticton, Receives the Main Outflow from Okanagan Lake Via the Okanagan River
    Skaha Lake Skaha Lake, situated to the south of the city of Penticton, receives the main outflow from Okanagan Lake via the Okanagan River. Chief sources of nutrients are from the Penticton S.T.P. and the Alymer Cannery, that discharge their nutrients into the Okanagan River approximately 1 km upstream from the lake. The lake has annually produced heavy blue-green algal blooms over the past 5 years. In 1970, two NEB experiments were run, one in the spring, the other in the fall. The water sample was obtained just off the mouth of the Okanagan River in the north end (Fig. 2). NO3(N) additions alone increased growth to about twice that observed in the control, while PO4(P) additions alone had no stimulatory effect. Addition of a small amount of PO4(P) and a range of NO3(N) concentrations from 0.21 -2.1 mg/l yielded an even greater production of algae, proportional to the amount of NO3(N) added up to a concentration of 2.1 mg/liter (Fig. 10). Conversely, when NO3(N) additions were held constant but PO4(P) varied, no increase in growth was noted. When bicarbinate was added with a small amount of NO3(N) and PO4(P), results were similar to those obtained in Osoyoos - namely additions of 4.4 and 13.2 mg/l were stimulatory, while greater amounts were inhibiting. In 1971, two stations were selected for the NEB experiments, one in the north off the mouth of the Okanagan River, the other in the south near the Village of Okanagan Falls (Fig.
