    SUISUN MARSH FISH STUDY Trends in Fish and Invertebrate Populations of Suisun Marsh January 2011 - December 2011 Annual Report for the California Department of Water Resources Sacramento, California Teejay A. O'Rear and Peter B. Moyle Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology University of California, Davis July 2012 SUMMARY Suisun Marsh, at the geographic center of the San Francisco Estuary, is important habitat for introduced and native fishes. With funding from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the University of California, Davis, Suisun Marsh Fish Study has systematically monitored the marsh's fish populations since 1980. The purpose of the study has been to determine the environmental factors affecting fish abundance and distribution within the context of evolving water management. In 2011, we conducted 259 otter trawls and 74 beach seines. Our catches of plankton- feeding macroinvertebrates and fishes were strongly influenced by the interaction of high Delta outflows, low salinities, and the cold winter and spring. The prolonged low salinities severely reduced the population of overbite clams (Potamocorbula amurensis) in the southwest marsh, in addition to delaying the appearance of Black Sea jellyfish (Maeotias marginata) medusae until very late in the year. Species that ultimately benefit from high flows for spawning, due to either increased floodplain inundation [e.g., Sacramento splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus)] or reduced salinities [e.g., white catfish (Ameiurus catus)], recruited to the marsh in high numbers. Additionally, delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) reached their highest abundance in the marsh since 2001, which was likely due to the combination of (1) high flows both reducing entrainment and promoting plankton blooms, (2) colder water during spring creating more favorable spawning conditions, and (3) appropriate temperatures and salinities occurring in the marsh during autumn.

  • Suisun Marsh Fish Report 2018 Final.Pdf
    Trends in Fish and Invertebrate Populations of Suisun Marsh January 2018 - December 2018 Annual Report for the California Department of Water Resources Sacramento, California Teejay A. O'Rear*, Peter B. Moyle, and John R. Durand Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Center for Watershed Sciences University of California, Davis October 2020 *Corresponding author: [email protected] SUMMARY Suisun Marsh, at the geographic center of the northern San Francisco Estuary, is important habitat for native and non-native fishes. The University of California, Davis, Suisun Marsh Fish Study, in partnership with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), has systematically monitored the marsh's fish populations since January 1980. The study’s main purpose has been to determine environmental and anthropogenic factors affecting fish distribution and abundance. Abiotic conditions in Suisun Marsh during calendar-year 2018 returned to fairly typical levels following the very wet year of 2017. Delta outflow was generally low, with higher-than- average outflows only occurring in April when Yolo Bypass flooded. Salinities in 2018 were about average, in part because of Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates operations in late summer. Water temperatures were mild, being higher than average in winter and autumn and slightly below average during summer. Water transparencies were typical in winter and spring but, as has become a pattern since the early 2000s, were higher than average in summer and autumn. Dissolved-oxygen concentrations were consistent throughout the year, with only two instances of low values being recorded, both in dead-end sloughs. Fish and invertebrate catches in Suisun Marsh in 2018 told two main stories: (1) many fishes benefit from higher flows and lower salinities in Suisun Marsh while some invasive invertebrates do not; and (2) Suisun Marsh is disproportionately valuable to fishes of conservation importance.

  • Trends in Fish and Invertebrate Populations of Suisun Marsh January 2017
    Trends in Fish and Invertebrate Populations of Suisun Marsh January 2017 - December 2017 Annual Report for the California Department of Water Resources Sacramento, California Teejay A. O'Rear, Peter B. Moyle, and John R. Durand Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Center for Watershed Sciences University of California, Davis January 2019 SUMMARY Suisun Marsh, at the geographic center of the northern San Francisco Estuary, is important habitat for native and non-native fishes. The University of California, Davis, Suisun Marsh Fish Study, in partnership with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), has systematically monitored the marsh's fish populations since January 1980. The study’s main purpose has been to determine environmental and anthropogenic factors affecting fish distribution and abundance. Calendar year 2017 was wet and warm. Very high Delta outflows resulted in nearly freshwater conditions throughout Suisun Marsh from January to July, with lower-than-average salinities persisting until November. Matching the local climate, water temperatures were generally warmer than usual. Unlike most of the last 10 years when water transparencies greatly increased relative to the average in summer and autumn, water transparencies stayed near or below average for the latter half of 2017. Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations were sufficient for marsh fishes except in March in upper Goodyear Slough, when DO concentrations dipped below 3 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The aquatic community of Suisun Marsh responded to the wet, warm conditions. Non- native overbite clams (Potamocorbula amurensis), which require a salinity of at least 2 parts per thousand (ppt) for successful reproduction, were never abundant in 2017.

Today, about 80 percent of the marsh plain is privately owned by duck hunting clubs and managed in accordance with conservation agreements. A complex network of sloughs weaves through the Marsh, providing habitat for numerous aquatic species. Together the waterways and marsh plain support a stunning array of species, provide exurban open space, and are increasingly called upon to meet regional conservation objectives.
