NYSDEC Region 9 Trout Stream Monitoring Summary for 2019 NYSDEC Region 9 Trout Stream Monitoring Summary for 2019 Scott Cornett Fishery Biologist NYS – DEC Region 9 – Allegany November, 2019 1 Overview Many streams in NYSDEC Region 9 support some of the highest densities and biomasses for wild brown and rainbow trout in the entire state. However, wild trout populations (including native brook trout) and the habitat and water quality that support them face many ongoing threats. These include; residential development, agriculture, logging, water withdrawals, over abundant beaver populations, increasing avian and mammalian predator populations, increasing water temperatures and more frequent and intense rainstorms. NYSDEC Fisheries staff monitor trout populations and attempt, through permitting, to protect in-stream habitat and water quality. In 2016, to better monitor long-term and short-term trends in adult trout populations throughout the region, and to evaluate year to year reproductive success, we began to sample many of the higher quality streams in the region on a yearly basis. Peer reviewed fisheries studies have shown reproductive success of trout is often affected by environmental factors that can be region-wide in scope and can dictate future years adult population abundance. Since we could not allot additional time to this sampling over past years, we sampled a comparable number of total sample sites to past years. However, those sites were spread over many more streams and covered much more of the region, geographically. All of the sites had been sampled at least once prior to 2016 (most sites several times). This allows us to compare changes to the trout populations at those sites over time. Of course, everything comes with trade-offs and while this sampling plan gives us much better regional coverage, we do lose some finer-scale ability to see what is happening throughout individual streams. In June, July and August 2019, Region 9 Fisheries staff, with considerable assistance from angler volunteers, DEC Lake Erie Fisheries Unit staff and USFWS staff, conducted electrofishing surveys at 44 sites on 25 of the highest quality trout streams throughout the region (Figure 1). These were the same streams and sites that had been sampled in 2016, 2017 and 2018, with only a very few changes to sites between years. Streams sampled in Allegany County were Chenunda Creek, Dyke Creek, Ford Brook, Orebed Creek and Spring Mills Creek. In Cattaraugus County, we sampled Stoddard Creek, Beehunter Creek, Fenton Brook, Elm Creek, The Ram, Mansfield Creek, Elton Creek, Lime Lake Outlet and McKinstry Creek. Hosmer Brook, Cattaraugus Creek and Spring Brook were sampled in Erie County, while Oatka Creek, Wiscoy Creek, N. Branch Wiscoy Creek, Trout Brook, Flynn Brook, Clear Creek (Arcade) and Cattaraugus Creek were done in Wyoming County. Clear Creek (Ellington) and Cherry Creek were sampled in Chautauqua County. 2 Figure 1. Streams surveyed to monitor trout populations in 2019. The following is a summary of population trends for each trout species throughout the region. Adult trout populations at sites in 2019 were compared with values from previous surveys to determine long-term and short-term population trends. Young-of- year numbers captured were compared with long-term average values. Following this regional summary, if you desire more detailed discussion for each stream, including population graphs, they can be found in Appendix I (separate electronic file). Adult Brown Trout In 2019, 34 sites were sampled where we could assess trends in adult (yearling and older, > five-inches) wild brown trout population abundance. Nine of the sites showed a long-term (after 1990 through 2019) increasing population trend (26%), fourteen sites showed a long-term decreasing trend (41%) and eleven sites did not show a discernable long-term trend (Figure 3). At the three sites located in southeastern Allegany County, each site had a differing long-term trend (Figure 3), however all these sites had a low number of years sampled. Three of the sites in far western Cattaraugus County and eastern Chautauqua County showed long-term increasing trends in adult brown trout 3 abundance (Figure 3), with the other three showing no discernable trend. This indicates that habitat and climate conditions may have been more conducive for brown trout reproduction and survival in that area than we are seeing in some other parts of the region. Streams in the Cattaraugus Creek watershed show a mixed bag of trends for adult wild brown trout abundance, with four sites showing long-term increases, five showing long-term decreases and six sites showing no discernable trend (Figure 3). The other area of discernable long-term population trend for adult brown trout is in the Wiscoy Creek watershed where all eight of the sites show a long-term decrease in abundance (Figure 3). Figure 3. Long-term (after 1990 through 2019 surveys) trends in adult wild brown trout population abundance for sites sampled in 2019. Green dots indicate an increasing long- term trend, yellow dots indicate no discernable trend and red dots indicate a decreasing long-term trend. Note that sites had widely varying numbers of sampling years. When looking at shorter-term trends in adult wild brown trout populations, it should be noted that at five of the eight sites in the Wiscoy Creek watershed, even though the overall trend in long-term population showed a decline, the population estimate in 2019 4 showed an increase from what we found in 2016-2018 (Figure 4). This may indicate that populations at those sites have stabilized and may be increasing. Looking region-wide it is apparent that in 2019, at most sites (19) for adult brown trout, population abundance was substantially lower than we found in 2016-2018, with only seven sites showing increases in 2019 (Figure 4). This likely indicates there was poor reproduction in recent years (which we did see) and/or lower survival of adults than in earlier survey years. At 31 of our sampling sites where quality habitat would make us expect to find large brown trout, 18 of the sites (58%) produced at least one wild brown trout greater than 16 inches, nine of the sites produced at least one wild brown trout greater than 18 inches and three sites produced a fish greater than 20 inches. Overall at the 31 sites, we captured 34 wild brown trout over 16 inches, twelve over 18 inches and three over 20 inches. This was an increase over 2017 and 2018 catches for fish greater than 16 inches and greater than 18 inches. One other interesting aspect of this year’s sampling was that we captured at least two individual wild brown trout which were the same fish (identified by unique spotting patterns) that had been captured, from the same pools in 2016, 2017 and 2018 (see photo examples in Appendix I, pages 13 and 14). Not only had these large trout (18-21 inches long) shown high fidelity to their home pools, they also had grown very little from the previous year and were likely old fish (8-12 years). 5 Figure 4. Adult wild brown trout population abundance in 2019 compared with abundances in 2016, 2017 and 2018 surveys. Green dots indicate higher abundance in 2019, yellow dots indicate no significant difference from 2016-2018 surveys and red dots indicate lower abundance in 2019 than in 2016, 2017 and 2018 surveys. Adult Rainbow Trout In 2019, we sampled at 15 sites where we normally encounter adult wild rainbow trout. These streams are all found in the Cattaraugus Creek watershed, with all but two being tributaries upstream of Springville Dam. When looking at long-term trends in adult rainbow trout abundance, we saw five sites (33%) showing long-term increases in abundance, three showing long-term decreases (20%) and seven sites showing no long- term discernable trends (Figure 5). When we compare 2019 adult rainbow trout abundances with what we found in 2016-2018 surveys, we found three sites to have an increased abundance. Five sites showed lower abundance in 2019 and seven sites did not show significant differences with 2016-2018 values (Figure 6). Interestingly, in 2019 we captured the two largest wild, stream resident rainbows ever seen by this region’s 6 Fisheries staff. They were 15.2 and 16.0 inches long. Wild resident rainbow trout greater than 12 inches are quite rare in Western New York streams. Figure 5. Long-term (after 1990 through 2019 surveys) trends in adult wild rainbow trout population abundance for sites sampled in 2019. Green dots indicate an increasing long- term trend, yellow dots indicate no discernable trend and red dots indicate a decreasing long-term trend. Note that sites had widely varying numbers of sampling years. 7 Figure 6. Adult wild rainbow trout population abundance in 2019 compared with abundances in 2016, 2017 and 2018 surveys. Green dots indicate higher abundance in 2019, yellow dots indicate no significant difference from 2016-2019 surveys and red dots indicate lower abundance in 2019 than in 2016, 2017 and 2018 surveys. Adult Brook Trout While not part of this sampling program, 48 wild brook trout streams in the region were electrofished in 2015 and 2016 to obtain fin clips for genetic analysis, giving us an opportunity to assess relative abundance region-wide in those years. In most streams, the abundance of adult brook trout appeared to be high in both years (based on the length of stream we needed to electrofish to collect the clips from 50 adult fish). Particularly in 2015, but also in 2016 most streams appeared to have very high numbers of young-of- year brook trout. Yearling sized fish were very abundant in 2016, as we would expect with such good reproduction in 2015. In 2019 we sampled twelve sites where we encountered measurable wild brook trout populations.

  • Genesee Valley Glacial and Postglacial Geology from 50000
    Genesee Valley Glacial and Postglacial Geology from 50,000 Years Ago to the Present: A Selective Annotated Review Richard A. Young, Department of Geological Sciences, SUNY, Geneseo, NY 14454 Introduction The global chronology for The Pleistocene Epoch, or “ice age,” has been significantly revised during the last three decades (Alley and Clark, 1999) as a result of the extended and more accurate data provided by deep sea drilling projects, ice core studies from Greenland and Antarctica (Andersen et al. 2006; Svensson et al. 2008), oxygen isotope studies of marine sediments, and climatic proxy data from lake cores, peat bogs, and cave stalactites. These new data have improved our ability to match the Earth’s Milankovitch orbital cycles to the improved ice core and radiometric chronologies (ages based on radiocarbon, U-Th, U-Pb). However, the Milankovitch theory has recently been the subject of renewed controversy, and not all cyclical climatic phenomena are directly reconcilable with Milankovitch’s original ideas (Ridgwell et al., 1999; Ruddiman, 2006). Overall, it is evident that there must have been as many as 20 or more glacial cycles in the last 2.5 million years, not all of which necessarily resulted in the expansion of large ice sheets as far south as the United States-Canadian border. The International Union of Geological Sciences recently adopted a change for the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary, extending the beginning of the Pleistocene Epoch back from 1.8 to 2.588 million years Before Present (BP). The average length of the most recent glacial- interglacial cycles (also known as “Stages”) is on the order of 100,000 years, with 10,000 to 15,000 years being the approximate length of the interglacial warm episodes between the longer cold cycles (also known as cold stadials and warm interstadials).

Jeffrey Over, Dept. of Geological Sciences, SUNY-Geneseo, Geneseo, NY 14454; William T. Kirch gasser, Dept. of Geology, SUNY-Potsdam, Potsdam, NY 13676; Carlton E. Brett, Dept. of Geology, Univ. of Cincinnati, 500 Geology/Physics Bldg., Cincinnati, OH 45221 INTRODUCTION The Middle and Late Devonian succession in the Buffalo area includes numerous dark gray and black shale units recording dysoxic to near anoxic marine substrate conditions near the northern margin of the subsiding Appalachian foreland basin. Contrary to common perception, this basin was often not stagnant; evidence of current activity and episodic oxygenation events are characteristic of many units. In fact, lag deposits of detrital pyrite roofed by black shale, erosional runnels, and cross stratified deposits of tractional styliolinid grainstone present a counter intuitive image of episodic, moderate to high energy events within the basin. We will discuss current-generated features observed at field stops in the context of proposed models for their genesis, and we will also examine several key Late Devonian bioevents recorded in the Upper Devonian stratigraphic succession. In particular, two stops will showcase strata associated with key Late Devonian extinction events including the Frasnian-Famennian global crisis.
