EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

B.C. Hydro initiated a Large River Program in the Peace River and Columbia River watersheds to help

define the effects of dam and reservoir operations on fish communities. The ultimate goal was to develop

monitoring tools that provided a reliable index of the fish community status. Phases 1 and 2 of the Peace

River Fish Community Indexing Program focused on development of suitable monitoring tools. The

primary objectives of Phases 3 to 6 were to test whether the results were repeatable using the

recommended approach and to extend the time series data. During each phase additional work also was

undertaken to examine alternate approaches used to address sampling issues. Additions to the Phase 6

program included documenting movements of marked fish into and out of indexing sections and

investigation of tagging effects and sampling effects (capture and processing) on mountain whitefish

growth, body condition, and reproductive potential.

The study area encompassed a 55 km portion of the Peace River from downstream of the Cache Creek

confluence to just downstream of the PCN Dam. Repeated sampling (six sessions) within three sections

occurred from 16 August to 21 September 2006. Sampling methods included standard boat electrofishing

of near-shore fish habitats.

Sampling Conditions

Mean daily discharge was approximately 500 cms and varied around this value during the entire field

program. Hourly discharge was either constant or fluctuated during a 24 hr period. This discharge pattern

differed from that of previous studies: discharge tended to be lower and more stable and inputs from the

Halfway River and other tributaries were very low.

Water clarity was high and remained above the 50 cm threshold that potentially affected catchability.

Water temperatures remained above the threshold that initiated mountain whitefish spawning activity

(7.5oC).

Fish Community Characteristics

Fish community characteristics documented in 2006 were similar to findings of previous investigations.

Eleven large-fish species were recorded and mountain whitefish was numerically dominant. In 2006, the

relative importance of longnose suckers was lower.

Biological Characteristics

In total, 118 unmarked Arctic grayling were sampled for biological characteristics. Arctic grayling were

not captured in Section 1. The fork length of the sampled population ranged from 162 mm to 404 mm,

which represented fish Aged 1 to 5. Fish older than Age 3 were largely absent. No significant section

differences in length-at-age of body condition were recorded. There were annual differences in the length

and age distributions of Arctic grayling. The numerical strength of Age 1 fish entering the population

appeared to be the controlling factor. There were yearly differences in the fork length of Age 1 fish.

In total, 118 bull trout were sampled for biological characteristics. Fork lengths ranged from 183 mm to

835 mm with ages ranging from Age 1 to Age 9. Length and age distributions of bull trout differed

between sections. Fish Aged 1 to 3 dominated in Sections 1 and 3, whereas Section 2 contained a broader

distribution of age-classes. Bull trout older than Age 6 were poorly represented in all sections.

Comparisons of mean length-at-age and age-specific body condition indicated few differences between

sections, which is consistent with previous investigations. There also were annual differences in age

distributions. As suggested by Mainstream and Gazey (2004), the differences likely reflect timing of

spawning activity in tributaries rather than real changes in population structure.

In total, 8512 unmarked mountain whitefish were measured and 665 fish (8% of the sample) were aged.

There were spatial differences in length and age distributions of mountain whitefish in 2006, which was

consistent with findings during previous investigations. Fish in Section 1 exhibited a truncated length

distribution caused by the preponderance of Age 4 and Age 5 fish. Younger fish (Ages 0 and 1) and older

fish (> Age 6) were largely absent. In contrast, mountain whitefish in Section 3 exhibited multi modal

length distributions represented by multiple ages. Age 0 and Age 1 fish accounted for a substantial

proportion of this sample population, which indicated good recruitment. Mountain whitefish in Section 2

represented a continuum between the two other sections.

There were spatial differences in growth. Older age-classes in Sections 1 and 2 had significantly lower

mean lengths compared to Section 3. No spatial pattern was recorded for mountain whitefish body

condition in 2006, which may have been caused by elevated water temperatures in 2006, which damped

spatial effects on somatic and/or gonad tissue growth. Length and age distributions within each section

were consistent with previous studies. The length distribution in Section 1 remained strongly unimodal

and there was weak representation by Age 1 and Age 2 fish. Apparent mortality remained at

approximately 50%. Length and age distributions of mountain whitefish in Section 3 were consistent with

previous studies.

There were yearly differences in mountain whitefish growth and body condition. Growth rate estimates

for younger fish in Section 1 indicated that the 2004 growth rate was lower compared to other years. In

Section 3, 2002 and 2003 growth rates were lower compared to other years. Yearly comparisons of

individual age classes also indicated significant differences in both Sections 1 and 3, but there were no

trends. Comparisons of adjusted mean fork length of older fish (Ages 5 to 7) indicated significant yearly

differences in Section 1 and Section 3. In Section 1 there was a tendency for length-at-age to decrease

over time, but no trend was documented in Section 3.

There were large annual differences in mountain whitefish body condition in both Section 1 and

Section 3. No temporal trend was evident in Section 1; however, a negative correlation between body

condition and mean water temperature at the time of sampling indicated that water temperature may have

been the causal mechanism. An upward trend in body condition was recorded in Section 3.

Summary

The biological characteristics results were generally consistent with those of previous investigations. The

program was able to quantify several parameters for each target species population. Spatial and temporal

differences in mountain whitefish biological characteristics were identified with statistical certainty.

However, collection of sufficient sample sizes dictates the ability to identify spatial and temporal

differences, if they occur, for Arctic grayling and bull trout sampled populations.

Catch Rate

The results of Phase 6 demonstrated that established sampling protocols were appropriate to generate

reliable data and findings were consistent with previous investigations. In general, catch rates differed

between species, section, and habitat. Catch rates for Arctic grayling and bull trout were low in all

sections and were much less than those of mountain whitefish. Arctic grayling and bull trout catch rates

tended to be higher in SFC habitats compared to SFN habitats, while the reverse was true for mountain

whitefish.

There were spatial differences in catch rates. Arctic grayling were very scarce in Section 1, moderately

numerous in Section 2, and most numerous in Section 3. Bull trout tended to be least abundant in

Section 1. Catch rates of mountain whitefish were higher in Sections 1 and 2 compared to Section 3.

Confounding Factors

Discharge, water clarity, and water temperature were not confounding factors in 2006.

Comparison to Previous Investigations

Arctic grayling and bull trout catch rates remained low during the present study, which was consistent to

findings during previous investigations. Mountain whitefish catch rates recorded in Section 1 in 2006

were similar to values recorded in 2005. In contrast, the upward trend of catch rates recorded in Section 3

since the first year of standardized sampling was reversed in 2006. Mean catch rates in 2006 declined and

were similar to values recorded in 2002. It should be noted that catch rates were not constant during the

2006 field program; therefore, the results for Section 3 should be interpreted with caution.

Tag and Sampling Effects

Tag Effects

Floy tag effects on growth and condition were shown to be statistically significant by the current study

and previously in Phase 4 and 5 studies. Because the biological impacts are also large we should expect

significant impacts on survival and vulnerability to recapture over the long term. PIT tag effects on

growth and body condition did not differ statistically from that of Unmarked Study fish (current study and

Phase 5). This provides evidence that PIT tags are a suitable alternative to Floy tags.

Sampling Effects (Capture and Processing)

Body condition of Unmarked Study fish was not significantly different from Unmarked Control fish,

(current study and Phase 5), which provided evidence that sampling activities not associated with tagging

did not adversely affect mountain whitefish.

Preliminary results evaluating sampling effects on mountain whitefish reproductive potential suggested a

possible effect. Two comparisons (GSI and female fecundity) indicated small nonsignificant differences

between Unmarked Control fish and remaining treatments. The difference for male GSI was larger and

statistically significant. These findings warrant further investigation.

Population Estimates

Overall, the program was highly successful for mountain whitefish but much less so for Arctic grayling

and bull trout. Population estimates were made using a Bayesian sequential closed population model and

with an open Jolly-Seber model for mountain whitefish. Since marks were applied only to fish greater

than 250 mm, estimates are only applicable to that portion of the population. The closed population

estimates were defensible for Sections 1 and 2, but Section 3 had a serious closure violation and the

closed population model estimates are not valid.

Page 9: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v

For Arctic grayling and bull trout, population estimates are available, but the overall precision is poor

(CV = 87.9% and 88.5%, respectively. There is not sufficient data to forecast effort levels needed for

reliable population estimates for either species.

Movements by Marked Fish

Sampling in control sections immediately upstream and downstream of each standard section recorded

very limited numbers of marked fish (n ≤ 3). As such, short distance movements by substantial numbers

of marked fish out of the standard sections did not occur during the 2006 field program.

Catchability

The catchability estimate for mountain whitefish remained robust despite a range of conditions

encountered among sample years and sections. As such catch rate can be used as an index of absolute

abundance. Twelve data points are now available to quantify the relationship.

Recommendations

The stated primary goal of the Large River Program is to establish fish monitoring protocols that can be

used reliably to provide an index of the general status of the fish community. The findings of the Peace

River Phase 2 and 3 programs indicated that the monitoring protocols were suitable to meet this goal

particularly for mountain whitefish. Biological characteristics were suitable to monitor Arctic grayling

and bull trout, but deficiencies related primarily to low fish numbers hinder use of catch rates and

population estimates as monitoring tools for these two target species populations. Phases 4, 5, and 6

results confirmed these findings with two exceptions. First, water clarity less than 50 cm reduces

catchability, thereby negating use of catch rate as an index of abundance under those sampling conditions.

Second, one or more as yet unknown factors in some index sections cause mountain whitefish movement

that invalidate results of the closed population estimate model. Because the program is aware of these

confounding factors and has the sensitivity to identify these and other issues as they occur, the Peace

River Fish Indexing Program as presently designed meets the stated primary goal of the Program.

During each year of study, results were reviewed to identify issues of concern and recommendations were

made to address those issues. The tasks of each subsequent study were limited to the main objective of

refining sampling protocols. The Peace River Fish Community Program will continue to adhere to this

overriding objective.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary

To this end we recommend the following for the Phase 7 program:

General 1. Repeat the standard program to extend the time series data. 2. Maintain the current study design and sampling protocols with the following adjustments:

a. Continue to restrict the marking system to use of PIT tags to address the issue of detrimental effects caused by Floy T-bar anchor tags.

b. Reinstitute Section 5 to extend the time series data and remove Section 2. Phase 6 demonstrated minimal numbers of marked fish outside of the indexing sections; therefore, this study objective was achieved and use of Section 2 is no longer required.

c. Continuation of five marking sessions to examine use of open population estimate models and examine suspected violations of the closed population assumption.

d. Continue the control fish program to provide a random sample of fish to evaluate non-tag effect sampling activities on target fish populations.

Population Estimates

3. Sample Sections 1 and 3 to extend sampling history. The continuous five year record of consistent and rigorous sampling is a valuable baseline for the mountain whitefish population. Adding a year to the data set will increase its value.

4. Conduct a mark-recapture “robust design” analysis for mountain whitefish to allow estimates of survival and the total population size which includes the population that is not subject to sampling each year.

5. Build an age-structured model that will serve to synthesize catch-per-unit-of-effort, age, and abundance information. If such models are to be maintained and used for the evaluation of dam operation impacts/WUP activities there will be a need to collect long term information on population dynamics. The continued application of long-lasting marks (e.g., PIT tags) will assist in this endeavor.

These recommendations do not address a number of data gaps/issues that may compromise the ability to

interpret the ecological significance of the indexing data. Data gaps/issues identified during the present

and previous investigations are as follows:

1. Develop a catchability coefficient for low water clarity conditions. 2. Collect data to identify the potential serious issue of heterogeneous capture probability in

Section 3 (fish movement study) 3. Collect data (e.g., fish movements, angler harvest, and river productivity) in order to interpret

ecological meaning of the indexing information. 4. Collect information to quantify recruitment of younger-aged fish into the target fish populations

(e.g., dedicated small fish sampling program).

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Introduction

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

In 2001, B.C. Hydro initiated a Large River Program in the Peace River and Columbia River watersheds

to help define the effects of dam and reservoir operations on fish communities. The ultimate goal of the

program was to establish cost-effective monitoring protocols for the Columbia River and Peace River

systems to provide reliable indices of fish population characteristics.

The program was designed to proceed in phases. In Phase 1 (2001/02) sampling was undertaken to update

basic information on fish populations and to test methodological assumptions. Efforts during Phases 2

(2002/03), 3 (2003/04), 4 (2004/05), and 5 (2005/06) built on the previous findings to refine sampling and

analytical protocols. Phase 6 (2005/06) was a continuation of this work.

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. (Mainstream) and its study team completed Phases 1 to 5 of the Peace River

component of the Large River Program. In July 2006, Mainstream was contracted by B.C. Hydro to

complete Phase 6 of the program. Similar to the previous investigations the study team consisted of three

members. Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. was the overall managing consultant and was responsible for the

field program, the biological characteristics component, and relative abundance component of the study.

W.J. Gazey Research was responsible for the population estimate and tagging effects components.

M. Miles and Associates Ltd. were responsible for the water level monitoring.

1.2 OBJECTIVES

The objectives of Phase 6 were similar to that of previous phases. The rationale for this was to ensure

continuity with established sampling protocols, to ascertain whether the results were repeatable, and to

assess inter-annual variation in catchability and other study parameters.

The objectives of Phase 6 were as follows:

1) To conduct a boat electrofishing sampling program to monitor annual changes in population abundance, distribution, and biological characteristics of key species.

2) Populate an existing MS ACCESS® electronic database for storing, organizing, and retrieving fish population and fish habitat data collected in the nearshore sampling in the study areas.

3) Prepare a concise technical report to document field-sampling protocol, the findings and recommendations of the Phase 6 investigations.

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 2

4) Participate in a Large River Program workshop with other Phase 6 investigators, regulatory agency representatives, selected scientists, and B.C. Hydro staff to disseminate results and to discuss recommendations for further actions.

The work plan proposed by Mainstream addressed all requirements of the above list, as well as some

recommendations generated from the Phase 5 program as follows:

1. Maintain the current study design and sampling protocols with the following adjustments:

a. Restrict the marking system to use of PIT tags to address the issue of detrimental effects caused by the original marking system (Floy T-bar anchor tags).

b. Document movements of marked fish into and out of Sections 1 and 3. This was accomplished by reactivating Section 2 (sampled during the 2002 and 2003 programs). Inclusion of Section 2 provided better spatial coverage of the upper 60 km of the study area, which increased the probability of detecting movements of marked fish.

c. Increase the number of marking sessions from four to five to examine use of open population models and examine potential violations of the closed population assumption.

d. Expand and standardize the control fish program initiated during Phase 5 to: 1) provide a random sample of fish to evaluate non-tag effect sampling activities on target fish populations, and; 2) to assess fish movements immediately adjacent to the standard sections. Information from Point #2 would be used to examine short distance movements by fish and its affect on capture probabilities in each section. Specifically, heterogeneous capture probabilities in Section 3 during previous studies caused a violation of the closed population assumption, thereby invalidating population estimates for that section.

e. Sacrifice a sub-sample of captured mountain whitefish to obtain data on sex-specific growth rate, age-at-maturity, and reproductive potential. This study task was specific to Section 1 and its adjacent control sections.

1.3 TARGET SPECIES Three target species were investigated during Phase 6:

• Mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) • Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) • Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus)

1.4 STUDY AREA

The study area encompassed a 55 km portion of the Peace River from downstream of the Halfway River

confluence (Km 90) to just downstream of the PCN Dam (Km 145) (Figure 1.1). In terms of river length

this represents 36% of the total 150 km study area targeted by the program.

Sampling occurred in three previously sampled standard sections: Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3

(Table 1.1; Appendix A). Standard sections varied in total length from 5.5 km to 9.4 km. Within each

section between 52% and 66% of the available nearshore habitats were sampled.

2.0 METHODS

2.1 FIELD PROGRAM

2.1.1 Approach The field program was designed to collect data needed to monitor fish numbers (relative abundance and

population estimates) and biological characteristics of target fish populations in the Peace River. Because

the primary focus of Phase 6 was to generate reliable population estimates for target fish species, the

approaches used for most study components were adjusted to accommodate this requirement.

2.1.1.1 Standard Sampling

Sites

As was used during previous studies, the nearshore areas of fifteen discrete sites were sampled in each

standard section using a boat electrofisher (Table 2.1; Appendix Table A2). Standard sites were

distributed throughout each section and ranged in length from 405 m to 1840 m. Nearshore areas were

delineated in the Terms of Reference for Phase 1 of the Peace River Indexing Program (BC Hydro 2001).

Nearshore area is defined as the zone along the river bank margin with water depths ranging between

0.5 m and 2.0 m.

Each standard site represented one of two distinct habitat categories (Table 2.2): nearshore habitat with

physical cover (SFC) or nearshore habitat without physical cover (SFN). These habitat categories were

selected during initial studies because they represented the two dominant habitat categories in the study

area and could be effectively sampled using boat electrofisher (P&E and Gazey 2003). The SFC and SFN

habitat categories were defined based on three physical characteristics: bank slope/depth, water velocity,

and the presence of physical instream cover. The number and type of sites in each standard section were

distributed as follows: eight SFC sites and seven SFN sites.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 6

In Section 1, low water levels during the 2006 field program necessitated adjustments to sampling

protocols. Site 115 (previously sampled in 2002 and 2003, but not sampled in 2005) replaced Site 111.

Both sites represented SFC habitat. In addition, sampled lengths of each of Sites 103, 104, and 105 varied

depending on water level at the time of sampling. Sampled lengths were reduced as required by 40 m to

150 m.

In Section 2, several modifications were made to standard sites. Site 209 was shortened from 1560 m to

1007 m due to low water levels. Site 212 was shortened from 1359 m to 755 m to allow creation of

Site 217 (867 m). Sites 215 and 216 were removed from the standard sampling program and used as

control sites. Changes were undertaken to allow more intensive sampling within Section 2 and to provide

control sites in close proximity to the section.

There were no changes to the standard sampling program in Section 3.

Effort

All sites in each section were sampled six times. The first five sessions were used to collect biological

data from all fish species encountered and to mark and recapture target fish species. The last session

focused on obtaining recapture data for the three target species. Mountain whitefish were not marked or

processed for biological data to maximize time spent sampling during Session 6. In general, two days

were required to sample each section during each of the first five sessions. During the last session,

attempts were made to completely sample each section in one day. There was a four-day rest period

between sample events during Sessions 1 to 5 and a two- day rest period between Sessions 5 and 6. The

distribution of sampling effort is summarized in Table 2.3.

2.1.1.2 Control Sampling

Sites

Sampling occurred in control sections located immediately upstream and downstream of each standard

section (Table 2.4; Appendix Table A2). Each control section contained two permanent sites. Permanent

sites represented either SFC or SFN habitat categories. Attempts were made to establish one SFC and one

SFN site in each control section. However, the availability of suitable sites (discrete habitat types) close to

standard sections and the presence of fish dictated where sites were placed in the control section.

Synoptic sites were also established opportunistically in the control sections; as many as three synoptic

sites were sampled in each control section. The number and habitat category of synoptic sites are

presented in Table 2.4.

Effort

Each permanent site in the controls section was sampled twice: at the beginning (Session 1) and end

(Session 6) of the field program. There were two reasons for this schedule. Firstly, to examine whether

fish marked in the standard sections moved upstream or downstream after release. Secondly, to collect

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 8

biological data from control fish (i.e., untagged individuals assumed not to be affected by sampling in the

standard sections) for comparison to treatment fish collected in the standard sections. Sampling also

occurred opportunistically as time allowed at synoptic sites. This was done to increase the probability of

recapturing marked fish that may have moved outside standard sections. A summary of sampling effort is

presented in Table 2.5

2.1.2 Fish Capture Methods

As was done during previous studies, a boat electrofisher was used to capture fish in nearshore habitats

along the channel margin. Larger-sized fish were targeted (> 250 mm fork length) in water depths ranging

from 0.5 to 2.0 m. Sampling was restricted to nearshore areas (i.e., zones ≤ 2.0 m deep) because

boat electrofishing effectiveness on the Peace River is severely reduced beyond this depth.

A 5 m boat electrofisher propelled by a 175 Hp sport-jet inboard motor was used to sample fish. The craft

was equipped with a fixed-boom anode system and Smith-Root Type VIA electrofisher system.

Electrofisher settings were generally maintained at an amperage output of 3.0 to 4.5 A, pulsed DC

current, and a frequency of 60 Hz. These settings were sufficient to immobilize all three target species

and minimize injury rates of susceptible species such as mountain whitefish. The electrofisher settings

used during Phase 6 were similar to those employed during previous studies.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 9

The sampling procedure involved drifting downstream at motor idle along the channel margin, while

outputting a continuous current of electricity. In general, boat position was maintained at a water depth of

1.25 m to 1.50 m by monitoring the depth with a sounder. The only instance when this sampling protocol

changed occurred when backwater areas greater than two boat lengths were encountered. In these

situations, the boat was turned into the backwater at its downstream end and the channel margin in the

backwater area was sampled in an upstream direction.

Two netters positioned on a platform at the bow of the boat captured immobilized fish while the boat

operator maintained the position of the craft along the channel margin. To provide a representative sample

of the fish community netters were instructed not to bias their catch towards a particular species or fish

size. Netters were equipped with nets having a diameter of 45 cm, a depth of 40 cm, and a mesh size of

5 cm. To facilitate capture of smaller fish, the bottom surface (40 cm2) of each net had a mesh size of

1.5 cm. This mesh size allowed capture of fish to a minimum size of approximately 150 mm.

Netters were instructed to retrieve a random sample of immobilized fish of any species and size (> 150 m)

that were accessible from their netting position on the platform. To minimize the potential for

electrofisher induced injury, no more than one fish was netted at a time and immobilized fish were

removed from the water as quickly as possible.

The only exception to the above sampling protocol occurred when a rare species or life stage was

encountered. In this situation, the boat was turned towards the fish and netters made every effort to

capture the individual.

Upon completion of an electrofishing section, captured fish were enumerated, processed, and released. To

avoid recapture of previously collected fish, processed fish were released several hundred metres

upstream in the same section.

2.1.3 Observed Fish

A standardized approach to enumerate observed fish was used during the standard sampling program.

Each netter was instructed to count un-netted fish ≥ 250 mm total length that were present in a defined

observation zone at the bow of the boat electrofisher. Observations were restricted to four species: Arctic

grayling, bull trout, mountain whitefish, and rainbow trout. At the end of a sampled site, each netter

Page 34: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 10

recorded the number of observed fish on a data record sheet. To minimize observer bias, netters were not

coached and they were instructed not to compare results.

2.1.4 Processing Fish

All captured fish were held in a 230 L holding tank equipped with a water circulating system, which

provided a water exchange rate of 19 L/min. During Sessions 1 through 5 data recorded for each fish

included species, fork length (to the nearest 1 mm), weight (to the nearest 2 g), and presence of a tag, tag

scar, or fin clip. An appropriate nonlethal ageing structure (Mackay et al. 1990) was collected from all

individuals of the three target species. The first two rays of the right pectoral fin were collected from bull

trout, while several scales situated immediately below the back third of the dorsal fin and above the lateral

line were collected from Arctic grayling and mountain whitefish. Structures were placed in labeled

envelopes and air-dried before storage.

As part of the population estimate component of the study in the standard sections, individuals of target

fish species ≥ 250 mm fork length in good condition were marked using Passive Integrated Transponder

tags, or “PIT tags”. Tags were of the ISO type (134.2 kHz), which have a 15 digit numeric code. Tags, tag

applicators, and tag readers were supplied by AVID Canada. After tag insertion, a Power Tracker VIII tag

reader was used to record the numeric code. It should be noted that PIT tags used prior to 2006 were of

the FECAVA type (125 kHz), which have a 10 digit alpha-numeric code. The Power Tracker VIII could

read both tag types. Fish collected from control sections were not marked with PIT tags.

This fish processing procedure was modified during recapture Session 6 to shorten processing time. All

captured fish were examined for the presence of a tag. For all marked mountain whitefish, tag numbers

were recorded and fish were measured for fork length prior to release. Mountain whitefish without tags

were assigned a length category, enumerated, and released. Size categories were ≥ 250 mm fork length

(taggable) and < 250 mm fork length (not taggable). All Arctic grayling and bull trout were processed,

tagged, and released. All nontarget species were counted and released.

A sample of approximately 120 mountain whitefish was collected from Section 1 and the adjacent

control section to examine reproductive potential. Four groups were targeted. These included unmarked

fish from the control sections, as well as unmarked fish, Floy-marked fish, and PIT-marked fish from

Section 1. Collections were completed during Session 6. The first 30 individuals of each group that were

encountered were sacrificed and stored in a cooler for processing at the end of each day.

2.1.5 Measured Parameters

In addition to fish capture and information on biological characteristics, other parameters measured

during the standard program included the following:

• Date and time • Effort (seconds/meters) • Sample method settings • Water conductivity (microseimens) • Water temperature (oC) • Light intensity (full sun [1]; partial cloud [2]; full cloud [3]; full shade [4]) • Water clarity (cm); using a secchi plate mounted on a pole (plate was 2.5 cm wide x

21 cm long partitioned into three equal sections of black, white, and black) • Relative netter skill (high [1]; moderate [2]; low [3]; nil [4]) • Relative observer skill (high [1]; moderate [2]; low [3]; nil [4]) • Relative water velocity (fast [1]; moderate [2]; slow [3]; low or nil [4])

Physical characteristics of sampled sites were not measured during Phase 6 because values were recorded

during previous indexing programs. and did not change These characteristics were as follows:

• Habitat category, bank type, and instream type (see Table 2.2) • Bank slope (shallow slope [1]; concave [2]; steep [3]; near vertical [4]) • Dominant substrate type; Modified Wentworth Scale (Cummins 1962) • Dominant physical instream cover (rock; bank irregularities; large organic debris; none)

The information was either processed and analyzed, or stored for future reference (Appendix B).

2.1.6 Measurement of Water Levels

The 8007WDP water depth logger manufactured by Unidata, was used to monitor water levels (and

temperature) in two sections. The instrument consists of a 4 cm diameter, 60 cm long submersible

stainless steel tube containing a pressure sensitive transducer, thermistor, power supply, and data logger.

The instrument cable contains a hollow polyethylene tube to provide an atmospheric pressure reference

for the transducer and a communication line mounted within a urethane jacket protected with stainless

wire mesh. The polyethylene tube is vented through a silica gel desiccant to minimize the potential for

condensation. The data logger can store 52,000 entries. Each instrument was pre-programmed to measure

water depths and water temperature every minute and record the average value every fifteen minutes. This

sampling procedure increases the signal to noise ratio and the accuracy of the recorded data.

Both instruments were tested prior to being shipped to the field. The lower 50 m of polyethylene tube on

each unit was protected using a metal flex conduit tube.

2.2 OFFICE PROGRAM

2.2.1 Approach

Parameters used as monitoring tools included biological characteristics, relative abundance, and

population estimates. Methods are described below. Unless otherwise stated, statistical analyses followed

procedures described in Sokal and Rohlf (1981). General statistical protocols were as follows:

1. Statistical significance was accepted at P ≤ 0.05. 2. Univariate statistical analyses were restricted to samples n ≥ 5. 3. Data were transformed where appropriate to meet assumptions required for parametric statistical

analyses. 4. Post-hoc means tests included Tukey’s B (homogeneous sample variance) and Dunnett’s T3

(heterogeneous sample variance).

2.2.2 Biological Characteristics

Biological characteristics examined included length and age distribution, body condition, length-at-age,

growth rate, and mortality rate. Data from individual sections were analyzed and presented separately due

to spatial differences in biological characteristics (P&E and Gazey 2003; Mainstream and Gazey 2004).

Size and Age Distribution

Fish of the three target species were measured for fork length. All collected Arctic grayling and bull trout

were aged; however, the large numbers of processed mountain whitefish required use of a random

subsample of ageing structures. A random number generator was used to select ageing structures from

approximately 10% of unmarked mountain whitefish in each section using SPSS© software.

Ageing procedures followed those described in Mackay et al. (1990). Bull trout fin rays were fixed in

epoxy, sectioned with a jeweler’s saw, and mounted on a slide for viewing under a dissecting microscope.

Scales were immersed in water, cleaned and placed on a microscope slide for viewing. Two experienced

individuals independently aged each structure.

Body Condition

The relationship between weight and length of fish was used as a measure of fish health. Fulton’s

Condition Index (k) was used for this purpose. To minimize potential problems associated with

correlations between fish length and body condition (Cone 1989), samples were stratified by age for

between-section comparisons of 2006 data.

Page 37: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 13

Statistical comparisons of temporal (yearly) differences in mountain whitefish body condition were

completed using Analysis of Covariance with age as a covariate. The data set was restricted to older fish

(Ages 4 to 7) for the following reasons:

1. Measurement precision (± 2 g) affected the accuracy of the weights of smaller fish. 2. Mountain whitefish are fully recruited into the spawning cohort by Age 4 (Mainstream and

Gazey 2005). 3. Suitable sample sizes (n ≥ 5) were available for the analyses. 4. The age group exhibited a negative linear relationship between age and body condition.

To maintain slope homogeneity, 2002 data in Section 1 were omitted from the analyses.

Length-at-Age and Growth Rate

Length-at-age relationships were described using the average length of each age-class of unmarked fish

with the von Bertalanffy growth equation (Busacker et al. 1990) as follows:

[ ])}({ 01 ttK

t eLL −−∞ −=

Where t represents the age of the fish in years from the starting time t0, maximum length equals L∞, K

represents the growth coefficient, and e is the base of the natural logarithm.

When convergence was not possible using the von Bertalanffy growth equation a best-fit regression

model was applied. A linear regression best described the age-length relationship for the bull trout

sampled population as follows:

Y = a + bX

Where Y = fork length (mm), a = fork length intercept, b = slope, and X = age (years).

Mean length-at-age was the test variable used for most comparisons of growth. When age-groups within

sample populations exhibited linear growth, Analysis of Covariance was used to compare length-at-age

with age as the covariate.

Mortality Rate

A “catch curve” population mortality rate was developed for each target species sample population using

methods outlined in Section 2.2.6. An estimate of instantaneous total mortality (Z) was calculated using

Page 38: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 14

simple linear regression based on the number of fish in fully vulnerable age classes (descending portion of

the age distribution) and converted to survival (S = e-Z). Mortality rate was presented based on 1-S.

2.2.3 Reproductive Potential

Data collected from each fish included fork length (± 1 mm), weight (± 1 g), sex, and maturity (i.e.,

immature, will spawn in current year, and will not spawn in current year). For individuals that were

mature the gonad was dissected from the body and weighed (± 0.1 g) using a Kilotech KLB electronic

balance. The egg sac of females was then divided into three equal portions and the center portion weighed

and preserved in 4% buffered formalin. In the laboratory, the number of eggs was counted from the

preserved subsample.

The collected data were used to calculate age-at-maturity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), and fecundity

(total number of eggs per female). GSI and fecundity were calculated using the following formulas:

GSI = Gonad weight/fish weight x 100 Fecundity = Number of eggs x gonad weight/sample weight

2.2.4 Catch Rate Catch rate was used to provide an index of fish abundance. Catch rate was calculated by dividing the

number of fish enumerated by the distance sampled and represented as number of fish per kilometre. For

mountain whitefish, the number of fish enumerated equaled the number of fish captured. For

Arctic grayling and bull trout, the number of fish enumerated equaled the number of fish captured plus the

number of fish observed. The rationale for use of this approach is presented in Mainstream and Gazey

(2004). For abundant species (mountain whitefish) large observer bias and sampling error negates the

benefit of including observed fish in the catch. For less abundant species (Arctic grayling and bull trout)

observer bias and sampling error is reduced allowing use of the observed data without compromising

sampling accuracy or precision.

The approach used for statistical analyses of catch rate data was dependent on the questions asked and the characteristics of the data. Based on findings by P&E (2002), P&E and Gazey (2003) catch rates were stratified by habitat type. Three catch rate outliers from individual sample sessions in Section 1were removed from the data prior to analyses. All were recorded in Site106, were at least five times lower then the remaining data for that site,

Page 39: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 15

and represented the 95 percentile of the catch rate data. This step reduced the sample size of SFN habitat in Section 1 from 42 to 39. 2.2.5 Sampling Effects

The study examined the growth rate of Floy and PIT tagged mountain whitefish through the

parameterization of von Bertalanffy growth models based on the growth increment exhibited by marked

and recaptured fish during the associated time-at-large. The model can be derived from the differential

form of the von-Bertalanffy model described by Taylor (1963),

(1) tKKLdtdL

⋅−= ∞

where K is the growth coefficient, L∞ is the asymptotic length coefficient and t is time. The integration of

Equation (1) with initial conditions that length (L) equals 0 when age t = t0 yields the usual formulation of

the model suitable for length-at-age data:

(2) [ ])}(exp{1 0ttKLL −−−= ∞ Similarly, the integration of Equation (1) with initial conditions that length at release (L0) equals length at

recapture (Lr) when time-at-large is zero (∆t = 0) yields a formulation suitable to mark and recapture data:

(3) }exp{)( 0 tKLLLLr ∆⋅−⋅−−= ∞∞ Estimates of the parameters of K and L∞ were made through nonlinear least squares regression of

Equation (3). Statistical comparisons of the Floy and PIT mark-recapture sets were then made following

Gallucci and Quinn (1979).

Body condition (k) comparisons were completed using fish within the 25 to 75 percentile length

distribution in each section. This was done to minimize effects of outlier lengths on body condition and to

standardize the range of lengths used for analyses.

2.2.6 Population Estimates and Movements

A mark-recapture program was conducted on mountain whitefish, Arctic grayling, and bull trout over the

period August 16 to September 21, 2006 (duration of 36 days). Three sections were sampled (Figure 1.1)

by six sequential sessions (Table 2.6). During the first five sessions marks were applied, but during the

final session emphasis was placed on searching for the presence of a mark on fish encountered. Overall,

Page 40: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 16

the program was highly successful (in terms of the number marks applied and recaptured) for mountain

whitefish, but much less so for Arctic grayling and bull trout. Therefore, the methodologies described

(diagnostics, population estimation, catchability and sampling power analyses) were comprehensively

applied to mountain whitefish. For Arctic grayling and bull trout, only the closed population estimation

methodology could be applied because of sparse data.

2.2.6.1 Characteristics that Impact Population Estimates

The tagging program has some characteristics that must be considered with reference to the population

estimation methodology and limitations of the subsequent estimates. First, the capture of fish may be

heterogeneous (i.e., some fish are more likely to be caught than others) because of spatial distribution or

the reaction of the fish to electrofishing. Second, marks were applied only to fish greater than 250 mm;

thus, any estimates are only applicable to that portion of the population. Third, fish can grow over the life

of the study such that fish recruit into the portion of the population greater than 250 mm when the study

commenced. However, given the short duration of the study, appreciable growth was not expected.

Fourth, marked fish can move to sections where capture vulnerability may be different because of

possible differences in catchability, number of available marks for recapture or the population size.

In order to investigate these characteristics, we first examined the capture behaviour of the marked fish.

Floy tags have been applied from 2002 to 2004 and PIT tags have been applied over the 2004 to 2006

period. For marks applied prior to 2006, the fish had to be caught again in 2006 and the tag recorded to

Page 41: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

qualify as a mark release. The recapture rate in 2006 by tag type (Floy and PIT) and initial year of release

were compared (G-test, Sokal and Rohlf, 1969), as well as the time-at-large for the release types. We also

compared the frequency of multiple recaptures following Seber (1982). Length histograms of the fish

marked and recaptured were examined to reveal selectivity patterns generated by the presence of a mark.

These patterns were further evaluated by lumping the lengths into 25 mm intervals and conducting tests of

independence (G-test) for each section. Growth over the period of the Phase 6 study was examined by

regressing the time at large (days) of a recaptured fish on the increment in growth (difference in length

measured at release and recapture). Possible tag effects on growth and condition were also investigated as

described above.

The movement of fish between sections in 2006 and at-large for over a year (marked in 2002 to 2005 and

recaptured in 2006) was assessed through weighting the recaptures by sampling intensity. Within each

section are 15 sampling sites each with a unique river kilometer (kilometers from the mouth) which

allowed for the distance traveled up or downstream to be calculated for recaptured fish. In order to further

examine fish movement, two control sections were added to each standard section (one upstream and the

other downstream) where sampled fish were examined for the presence of a mark (i.e., no new marks

were applied at the control sections).

2.2.6.2 Empirical Model Selection

The large number of mountain whitefish recaptures allowed for quantitative model selection using

POPAN-5 (UFIT module) software for mark-recapture data (Arnason et al. 1998). For the purpose of

total survival estimates, the time of sampling was assumed to be the mid-point of the actual sampling

dates (Table 2.6). Each section was modeled independently with recaptured fish in other sections treated

as removals. For Sections 1 and 2, the model selection was for a closed population (no change in

population size over the period of the study); however, the model selection was for an open population in

Section 3. Similarly, the large number of recaptures also allowed an empirical evaluation of homogeneous

and heterogeneous capture probabilities by employing MARK (closed population capture-recapture

models) software (White 2006) to calculate delta Akaike’s information criteria, adjusted to account for

the number of parameters, and the associated model likelihood for each of the sections.

A Jolly-Seber open population model (allows for recruitment into population and survival other than 1.0)

using the POPAN-5 software was applied to each section as well to provide more diagnostics for model

selection. As recommended by Seber (1982), survival estimates were unconstrained (i.e., can exceed 1.0)

Page 42: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 18

such that changes in capture probability (catchability) over the study period are not obscured by

constraining survival.

2.2.6.3 Bayes Sequential Model for a Closed Population

A Bayesian mark-recapture model for closed populations (Gazey and Staley 1986, and Gazey 1994) was

applied to the mark-recapture data. The Bayesian model was adapted to accommodate adjustments for

movement to the data, allow for stratified capture probabilities and cope with sparse recaptures

characteristic of Arctic grayling and bull trout. The major assumptions required for the Bayesian model

are as follows:

1. The population size in the study area does not change over the period of the experiment. If mortality occurs then it can be specified independent of the mark-recapture information. Fish can move within the study area (to different sections); however, the movement is fully determined by the history of recaptured marks.

2. All fish in a stratum (day and section), whether marked or unmarked, have the same probability of being caught.

3. Fish do not lose their marks over the period of the study. 4. All marks are reported when the fish are recaptured. If marks are not detected then the rate can be

specified independent of mark-recapture information.

The following data needs to be extracted from the mark-recapture database in order to generate

population estimates for the Bayes model:

mti – the number of marks applied or first observed in 2006 from a previous study during day t in section i,

cti – the number of fish examined for marks during day t in section i, rti – the number of recaptures in the sample cti, and dti – the number of fish removed or killed in the recaptures rti.

A fish had to be greater than or equal to 250 mm to be a member of mti. A fish was counted as examined

(a member of cti) only if the fish was landed and examined for the presence of a mark and was greater

than or equal to 250 mm in length. A fish was counted as a recapture (rti) only if it was a member of the

sample (cti), was a member marks applied (mti) and was recaptured in a session later than the release

session. A fish was counted as removed (dti) if it was not returned to the river or the fish was deemed to

be unlikely to survive.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 19

The number of marks available for recapture, adjusted for movement, was determined by first estimating

the proportion of marks released in section i moving to section j (pij). Note by definition:

∑ =

The usual closed population model assumptions (e.g., Gazey and Staley 1986) may be invalidated by

natural mortality, unaccounted fishing mortality, the emigration of fish from the study area and

non-detection of a mark when the fish was sampled. Thus, the number of marks available for recapture at

the start of day t in section i (Mti) consists of the releases in each of the sections corrected for removals

(mortality and emigration) summed over time, i.e.,

The recaptures in the sample, Cti, however, need to be corrected for the proportion of undetected marks

(u), i.e.,

(8) titi ruR )+1(= The corrected marks available, sample and recaptures (Equations 6, 7, and 8) are the input information

required by the Gazey and Staley (1986) to form the population estimates.

The estimation of population size was accomplished with a Microsoft Excel© spreadsheet model that

consists of macros coded in Visual Basic. The procedure requires the execution of two passes (macros

update and estimate). First (execute macro update), the mark-recapture data are assembled by sections

under the selection criteria of minimum time-at-large (days) and minimum length (mm) specified by the

user. For the second pass (execute macro estimate), the user must specify the sections to be included in

the estimate, annual instantaneous removal rate, the proportion of undetected marks and the confidence

interval percentage desired for the output. The model then assembles the adjusted mark-recapture data

(Equations 6, 7, and 8) and follows Gazey and Staley (1986) using the replacement model to compute the

population estimates. Output includes the posterior distributions, the Bayesian mean, standard deviation,

median, mode, symmetric confidence interval and the highest probability density (HPD) interval.

Population estimates were generated for the three sections using marks applied at a start-date of 16

August 2006, a minimum length of 250 mm, an annual instantaneous removal rate (represents natural

mortality, unobserved removals and emigration) of 0.0, and an undetected mark rate of 0%. Other

parameter values were tried in order to reveal the sensitivity of the population estimates to failures in the

closed model assumptions. The total population estimate for the study area was obtained by summing the

section estimates. The confidence interval for the total study area estimate was calculated invoking a

normal distribution under the central limit theorem with a variance equal to the sum of the variances for

the sections.

The very sparse recoveries (1) for Arctic grayling and bull trout made point estimates of population size

highly unreliable. However, the Bayesian approach enables the calculation of the posterior distribution of

population size Ni from which the probability that the population size is greater than some reference

population level, Vj, can be constructed as the compliment of the cumulative density, i.e.,

The calculation of these minimum population estimates and associated precision has been shown to be

very robust when the model assumptions hold even under very sparse recoveries (Gazey 1994).

Nonetheless, empirical validation of model assumptions is not feasible when recoveries are sparse.

2.2.7 Catchability

One of the key quantities of interest is the catchability coefficient, or catchability. If catchability is

constant across years (2002 to 2006) and river sections then indices of abundance such as catch rate

(No. fish per unit effort) are comparable.

An estimate for catchability for the i’th section was calculated as:

(10) ii

tti

i NE

Cq

⋅=∑

where Ei is effort and Ni is the population estimate for section i. Given the mark recapture and effort data,

the variance of catchability is:

following expression (Ricker 1975, p 97):

NVar .

The catchability coefficient was also examined using the empirical relationship between catch rate

(No. fish per km) and the fish population estimate as follows. Firstly, a weighted estimate of the mean

catch rate was calculated for each section using procedures described in Mainstream and Gazey (2004).

Sampling protocols required stratification of section data by habitat category (SFC and SFN) as a way to

improve precision. The mean catch rate (across all sample sessions) in each habitat category (and

associated variation) was weighted by the total length of that habitat category sampled within the section.

The two values were summed to generate a weighted estimate of catch rate. Secondly, the weighted

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Methods

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 22

estimate of catch rate was plotted against the population estimate for that section and the relationship

quantified using simple linear regression. The slope of the relationship, which represented the catchability

coefficient, was then compared to the catchability coefficient estimate generated using the recapture and

effort data (see Equation 10).

2.2.8 Length Based Survival Estimate

A survival estimate was obtained from the population size structure by obtaining the age associated with

each observed length from the inverse of Equation (2):

(13) [ ])ln()ln(10 LLLK

tti −−+= ∞∞

Each fish was then summed into Qi (number of fish of age ti) and a simple “catch curve” decay regression

(Ricker 1975) was constructed as:

(14) ii tZQQ ⋅−= )ln()ln( 0 where Q0 is a reference abundance (of no interest) and Z is the apparent instantaneous mortality that

includes all mortalities and emigration. An estimate of Z was obtained through simple least squares

regression for the fully vulnerable age classes and converted to survival (S = exp{-Z}). Since the “catch

curve” model assumes the size composition is stable over long periods of time (i.e., recruitment into the

population and mortality for all size classes is constant), the survival rate estimate should be regarded as

crude.

2.2.9 Effort Needed to Detect Change

In order to explore the precision that may be obtained under alternative sampling intensities, a simple

power analysis was conducted on mountain whitefish sampled from Section 1 where a consistent program

has been performed each year over the 2002 to 2006 period. We assumed that the estimate of the

Bayesian mean ( N ) was the actual population size and adjusted the data for an altered sampling factor

for any sequence as follows:

where f is the sampling factor (e.g., f = 2 represents a doubling of the sampling effort), Mt is the number

of marks applied at the start of the t th sampling sequence, Ct is the total number of fish examined for

marks and Rt is the number of recaptured marks. The prime notation represents the data generated for a

specified sampling factor. Since the number of marks applied or fish examined is small in relation to the

population size, a sampling factor of 2 nearly doubles the marks applied and examined and quadruples the

recoveries.

For the purposes of this analysis we defined precision to be half of the 80% highest probability density

(HPD) expressed as a percentage of the mean. If the posterior distribution were perfectly symmetrical,

then our precision definition would equate to the plus/minus 80% confidence interval.

2.2.10 Data Management System and Update Database

Microsoft Access 2000 was used to enter, check, and store the raw fish and habitat data collected during

Phase 6. This information was used to update the Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program

database.

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Two objectives of Phase 6 were to extend the time series data describing nearshore fish populations in the

Peace River and to ascertain whether the results were repeatable. This section provides a summary of the

general characteristics of the fish community and a comparison to previous results, where appropriate. For

simplicity the information has been grouped into seven component sections: sampling conditions, fish

community characteristics, biological characteristics, catch rate, sampling effects, population estimates,

and catchability. Raw data are provided in Appendices B, C, D, and E.

3.1 SAMPLING CONDITIONS

Sampling conditions examined included discharge, water temperature, and water clarity.

3.1.1 Discharge

At the start of the field program (16 August) mean daily discharge from the PCN Dam was approximately

500 cms (Figure 3.1). Discharge varied around this level during the entire session, which ended on

21 September. Hourly discharge was constant on some sample days (e.g., 16 to 21 August; 14 to 19

September) or fluctuated during each 24 h period (Figure 3.2).

This discharge pattern differed from that of previous studies. In 2006 discharge tended to be lower and

more stable. In general, the 2006 flow regime was most similar to conditions recorded in 2004

(Mainstream and Gazey 2005).

Unlike the 2004 program; however; there were no large spatial differences in discharge caused by inputs

from the Halfway River and other tributaries. Field observations indicated that flows of these tributaries

were very low during the field program.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 28

3.1.2 Water Clarity

Water clarity in the Peace River was high during the field program (Table 3.1). Values were generally

above 2.0 m and spot sampling recorded approximate values as high as 3.5 m. Work by P&E (2002)

indicated that water clarity of 50 cm was the threshold at which there was a negative effect on

catchability. Unlike previous investigations there were no spatial differences in water clarity. The 2006

results likely reflected the high water clarity of water discharged from the PCN Dam and high water

clarity of discharge from major tributaries.

3.1.3 Water Temperature

Mean daily water temperatures in the Peace River ranged from 9.5oC to 13.0oC in Section 1 and 9.0oC to

13.5oC in Section 3 during the 2006 program (Figure 3.3). Temperatures were slightly higher in Section 3

compared to Section 1 for most of the program; values as high as 15.3oC were recorded in Section 3.

These temperatures generally were higher than those recorded during previous investigations and

temperatures did not approach the threshold for initiation of mountain whitefish spawning.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 30

3.2 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FISH COMMUNITY

In total, 10 759 fish representing 11 species were recorded in 2006 (Table 3.2). The species included

8 sportfish, 2 suckers, and 1 cyprinid. Mountain whitefish were very numerous and dominated the sample

(10 120 fish; 94.1%). The two other target species were not abundant; in total 119 Arctic grayling (1.1%)

and 118 bull trout were recorded (1.1%). After mountain whitefish, longnose sucker was the most

prominent species (217 fish; 2.0%). The results were similar to findings of previous studies where

mountain whitefish was the dominant species followed by much lower numbers of all other species and

longnose sucker was the second most numerous species recorded. One difference between 2006 findings

and previous studies was the reduction in the relative importance of longnose suckers in the catch. Percent

values for longnose suckers prior to 2006 typically exceeded 5.0% compared to 2.0% in 2006.

Table 3.2 Number and percent composition of fish species recorded in Section1, 2, and 3, during the Phase 6 Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program, 2006.

The majority of species were recorded in all three sections (Table 3.3). Northern pike, burbot, and

lake whitefish were the exceptions; these fish occurred in only one or two sections. These findings were

generally similar to those recorded during previous studies.

3.3 BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Biological characteristics examined for target species populations included length and age distributions,

growth rate, length-at-age, body condition, and mortality rate. Summaries were presented for each

section. When appropriate, spatial and annual differences were examined.

3.3.1 Arctic grayling

In total, 118 unmarked Arctic grayling were sampled for biological characteristics: 25 in Section 2 and

93 in Section 3; no Arctic grayling were captured in Section 1. The fork length of sampled populations

ranged from 162 mm to 404 mm, which represented fish aged 1 to 5 (Figure 3.4).

Age 0 fish and fish older than Age 3 were largely absent from the samples. There also were spatial

differences in length and age distributions of Arctic grayling. In Section 3, the sample consisted primarily

of age-class 1 (50% of the sample). In Section 2, Age 3 fish dominated the sample (57%).

Predicted length-at-age relationships of fish sampled from Sections 2 and 3 were different (Table 3.4 and

Figure 3.4). Section 3 fish did not exhibit a typical population growth pattern, which likely was due to the

absence of older fish in the sample. As such, the growth curve for Section 3 should be interpreted with

caution. Comparisons of mean length-at-age indicated no differences. It should be noted that spatial

differences in length-at-age were recorded during previous studies. Mean lengths tended to be higher in

downstream sections compared to upstream sections.

Yearly comparisons of length and age distribution, and apparent mortality rate for Arctic grayling in

Section 3 are presented in Figure 3.5. Length and age distributions differed between years. This likely

was due to annual differences in the numerical strength of Age 1 fish. Of note during all years was the

scarcity of older (> Age 3), larger (> 300 mm fork length) fish. The rapid decline in numbers of older fish

explains the apparent high mortality rate (>75%) during most years. Data collected in 1990 have been

presented for comparative purposes. Recreational angling harvest may explain the scarcity of larger fish

in the sample populations. Regulations for 2006 specified a minimum harvest size of 300 mm

(http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/synopsis.html; 15 January 2007)

A visual assessment of length distributions suggested yearly differences in positions of Age 1 modal

peaks. Comparisons of mean fork length indicated yearly differences. Lengths of Age 1 fish in 2004 and

2006 were significantly higher than lengths of Age 1 fish in 2003 and 2005 (Figure 3.6; Dunnett’s T3

post-hoc means test, P ≤ 0.5). It is interesting to note that Peace River discharges during the field program

were lower in 2004 and 2006 compared to discharges in 2003 and 2005.

Figure 3.6 Comparisons of mean fork length of Age 1 Arctic grayling in Section 3 during the Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program, 2003 to 2006.

3.3.2 Bull trout

In total, 118 bull trout were sampled for biological characteristics. Fork lengths ranged from 183 mm to

835 mm with ages ranging from Age 1 to Age 9.

Length and age distributions of bull trout differed between sections (Figure 3.7). Fish Aged 1 to 3

dominated in Sections 1 and 3 (>68% of the sample), whereas Section 2 contained a broader distribution

of age-classes. The median lengths of fish were 270 mm in Section 1, 399 mm in Section 2, and 338 mm

in Section 3. Age 3 fish was the most prominent group in each section (30% to 48% of the sample). Bull

trout older than Age 6 were poorly represented in all sections.

Non-convergence of bull trout growth curves precluded use of the von Bertalanffy growth equation or

other curvilinear equations to describe bull trout growth (Figure 3.7). Instead, simple linear regression

provided the best fit (r2 ≥ 0.89). Small sample sizes and the absence of older fish in each sample caused

the absence of the expected curvilinear relationship. The regression lines provide an approximate

description of growth by the younger fish. Comparisons of mean length-at-age indicated a statistical

difference between sections for Age 3 and Age 5 fish (Table 3.6).

Age-specific mean body condition is presented in Table 3.7.

Yearly age distributions and mortality rates of bull trout in Section 1 and 3 are presented in Figure 3.8.

The strong contribution of Age 3 fish in Sections 1 and 3 this year was a result of a strong Age 2

year-class in 2005. Results for 2005 and 2006 indicate the presence of Age 1 fish in the samples. Prior to

2005 this age-class was absent.

There were yearly differences for the adult cohort (Age 6 and older), particularly in Section 3. It is

unlikely that these differences represent actual changes in population age structure. It more likely is an

artifact of small sample sizes. Or as suggested in Mainstream and Gazey (2004), the absence of the adult

cohort in Peace River study reflects the timing of spawning activity in tributaries during a particular year.

Apparent mortality rates varied among years. Given that bull trout should experience high survival

(i.e., relatively long-lived, few natural predators, and zero recreational harvest), the mortality rate should

be low and stable. Based on information from other unexploited bull trout populations, a mortality rate of

approximating 20% to 30% may be most representative of the actual mortality rate of the Peace River bull

trout population (Post et al. 2003).

Sample sizes were too small to allow comparisons of yearly growth and body condition.

3.3.3 Mountain whitefish

In total, 8512 unmarked mountain whitefish fish were measured and 665 fish or 8% of the sample, were

aged. A comparison of length and age distributions of mountain whitefish indicated that there were spatial

differences in sampled populations (Figure 3.9). Sections 1 and 2 samples exhibited similar age and

length distributions. Fish exhibited truncated length distributions (modal peaks at 300 mm and 295 mm

fork length in Sections 1 and 2, respectively). This pattern was explained by the dominance of Age 4 and

Age 5, which accounted for 44% and 41% of the sample, respectively. Smaller modal peaks (250 mm)

were recorded in both sections (Age 3 fish). Fish younger than Age 2 and older than Age 7 were scarce.

In contrast, mountain whitefish in Section 3 exhibited broad multi-modal length distribution. Modal peaks

occurred at 170 mm, 220 mm, 260, and 330 mm frequency intervals, which corresponded to Ages 1, 2, 3,

and 6, respectively. Ages 1 to 9 were well represented and Age 0 fish where present.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 41

The length-at-age results suggested spatial differences in growth (Table 3.8, Figure 3.9). All age-classes

in Sections 1 and 2 had lower mean lengths compared to Section 3. Differences were statistically

significant for Ages 5 to 8. Results were generally similar to findings of previous investigations. During

those studies older fish (Age 4 and older) were larger in downstream compared to upstream sections.

Spatial differences in mountain whitefish body condition were generally did not occur; most except Age 5

and Age 7 (Table 3.9). Mean values were significantly higher in Section 3 compared to Sections 1 and 2.

Results of this study contrasted to findings of previous investigations that documented spatial differences

in body condition. Fish in downstream sections had higher body conditions than fish in upstream sections.

The results of mountain whitefish length-at-age and body condition during the present study and the

inconsistencies with spatial patterns described by previous investigations may be explained by annual

differences in the Peace River water temperature regime. Cooler water temperatures that typically occur

in Section 1 were not recorded in 2006 (see Section 3.1.1). This may have facilitated growth of

younger-aged fish in this section compared to previous years. Similarly, warmer water temperatures may

have delayed gonad maturation, thereby damping spatial differences in body condition.

Yearly comparisons of length and age distributions are provided in Figures 3.10 and 3.11. Section 1 age

and length distributions remained unimodal. Apparent mortality decreased from 55% in 2005 to 50% in

2006.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 44

Length and age distributions of mountain whitefish in Section 3 remained stable between years. There

was strong representation by Age 1 and Age 2 fish in 2006. Apparent mortality was stable at

approximately 34%.

Yearly differences in mountain whitefish growth were evaluated using length-at-age data. Data were first

examined to assess whether age could be used as a covariate. In each section, the growth rates in each

year (i.e., slope) of younger fish (Ages 2 to 4 in Section 1; Ages 1 to 4 in Section 3) were significantly

different (P = 0.000), which precluded use of age as a covariate. In Section 1, a visual comparison of

growth rate estimates and associated 95% confidence intervals indicated that 2004 was significantly lower

than other years of study (Figure 3.12). In Section 3, 2002 and 2003 differed from the other years.

Examination of year effects for individual age classes indicated significant differences in both Sections 1

and 3 (Figure 3.13), but there were no temporal trends.

Growth rate slopes were not significantly different for the older age group of mountain whitefish (Ages 5

to 7) in Section 1 (P = 0.117) and in Section 3 (P = 0.168). Analysis of Covariance with age as the

covariate indicated significant differences between years in both sections (P = 0.000). Comparisons of

adjusted mean fork length and associated 95% confidence intervals are presented in Figure 3.14. In

Section 1 there was a tendency for length-at-age to decrease over time. Possible explanations for this

trend could include adverse sampling effects (see Section 3.5) or changes in fish growth due to unknown

environmental conditions (e.g., lower flows in 2004 to 2006). No temporal trend was recorded in

Section 3.

The potential for temporal differences in mountain whitefish body condition also were examined using

Analysis of Covariance, which was restricted to fish Aged 4 to 7 (see Section 2.2.2 for rationale). Slopes

of the relationship between body condition and age were not significantly different for Section 1

(P = 0.638) and Section 3 (P = 0.779).

Comparisons of adjusted mean body condition and associated 95% confidence intervals are presented in

Figure 3.15. Large yearly differences were evident in both sections and all year-to-year comparisons were

significant (Tukey’s B post-hoc means test, P ≤ 0.05).

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 49

There was no annual trend evident in mountain whitefish body condition in Section 1. However, a plot of

mean water temperature during each sample session indicated a significant negative correlation with body

condition (Pearson r = -0.907, P = 0.047). A negative correlation would be expected if body condition of

this fall spawning species was related to the stage of gonad development, which in turn is regulated, in

part, by water temperature.

In Section 3, there was a general upward trend in mountain whitefish body condition. Unlike Section 1,

the negative correlation between body condition and water temperature was weak and not significant

(Pearson r = -0.456, P = 0.220). The lack of a strong correlation in Section 3 may have been due to the

narrow range of recorded water temperatures in this section during most years.

3.4 CATCH RATE

3.4.1 General

Previous studies established that catch rates of target fish species were influenced by habitat and river

section. The 2006 results supported these findings. Mean catch rates differed between species, section,

and habitat (Table 3.10 and Figure 3.16). Catch rates for Arctic grayling and bull trout were low in all

sections. Values ranged from 0.05 to 1.49 fish/km and 0.29 to 0.99 fish/km, respectively. Mountain

whitefish catch rates were greater than for the other two target species. Mean values exceeded 24 fish/km.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 51

Mean catch rates differed between sections. Arctic grayling were very scarce in Section 1 (≤0.06 fish/km)

and moderately abundant in Sections 2 and 3 (≥0.78 fish/km). Arctic grayling catch rates were higher in

SFC habitats. Bull trout tended to be least abundant in Section 1. Catch rates of mountain whitefish

decreased from upstream to downstream and they were consistently higher in SFN compared to SFC

habitats. Section and habitat differences were significant for this species.

3.4.2 Confounding Variables

The field program was structured to collect information for calculation of population estimates. As such,

sampling was repeated six times in each section. Previous investigations indicated that during some years

catch rates changed over the duration of the field program. Potential causes of this included effects of

repeated sampling, immigration/emigration of fish, and altered catchability. In 2004 and 2005, changes in

catch rate occurred and catch rates were negatively correlated with discharge (Mainstream and Gazey

2005 and 2006).

In 2006, discharge was low and relatively constant during the field program (see Section 3.1). Mean catch

rate by sample session for each target species and mean water level at the time of sampling are presented

in Figures 3.17 to 3.19. Only small changes in mean water level at the time of sampling were recorded. In

Section 1, there was a slight increase in levels, which peaked in Session 4. Levels were constant in

Section 2, while in Section 3 levels during Sessions 1 and 2 were slightly higher compared to the

remainder of the field program. There was no apparent relationship between catch rate and water level for

any of the target species. The absence of a relationship may have been due to the relatively constant

discharge in 2006.

Catch rates of some target species did change during the field program. In Sections 2 and 3

Arctic grayling catch rates in SFC and SFN habitats were higher during Session 1 compared to all other

sessions. The difference was significant in SFC habitat in Section 2 (Oneway Analysis of Variance,

P = 0.001) and in Section 3 (Oneway Analysis of Variance, P = 0.002). Results for bull trout were

ambiguous.

Patterns of mountain whitefish catch rates differed between sections. In Sections 1 and 2, catch rates

declined and then returned to initial levels. The changes were not significant, but were consistent in each

habitat type.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 55

The catch rate pattern of mountain whitefish in Section 3 differed from that recorded in Section 1. Mean

catch rates during Sessions 1 to 3 were lower than mean catch rates during Sessions 4 to 6. This occurred

in both SFC and SFN habitat categories, but was most distinct in SFN habitat. The difference represented

approximately a two-fold increase. Statistical analyses confirmed a significant difference between

Sessions 1 and 2 and Sessions 4 and 5 in the SFC habitat (Tukey’s B post-hoc means test, P = 0.05). In

SFN habitat, a significant difference was recorded between Sessions 1, 2, and 3, and Sessions 4, 5, and 6

(Tukey’s B post-hoc means test, P = 0.05). The results demonstrated that mountain catch rates were not

constant in Section 3 during the field program.

3.4.3 Comparison to Previous Studies

An objective of Phase 6 was to extend time series data that describes abundance of nearshore target fish

populations in the Peace River. Mean catch rates of target species populations changed between years

(Figure 3.20). Arctic grayling were recorded in Section 1 in 2006, but catch rates remained very low,

which is consistent with previous investigations. Catch rates of Arctic grayling in SFC habitat in

Section 3 decreased in 2006, which is a continuation of the trend documented in 2005.

Bull trout catch rates decreased slightly from 2005 to 2006. The decrease was consistent in Sections 1 and

Section 3, as well as SFC and SFN habitats.

Mountain whitefish catch rates recorded in Section 1 in 2006 were similar to values recorded in 2005. In

contrast, the upward trend of catch rates recorded in Section 3 since the first year of standardized

sampling was reversed in 2006. The mean catch rate in SFC habitat during the present study (24 fish/km)

was similar to the value recorded in 2002 (21 fish/km). In SFN habitat, the 2006 value (33 fish/km) was

slightly higher than the 2002 value (24 fish/km). It should be noted that in 2006 catch rates were not

stable in Section 3 (see Section 3.4.2); therefore, results should be interpreted with caution.

3.5 SAMPLING EFFECTS

The intensity of sampling during the Peace River Fish Indexing Program has the potential to adversely

affect fish growth and body condition. Adverse effects could be caused by fish capture by boat

electrofisher, marking fish with tags, and/or processing fish for biological information. Phase 3 studies

suggested that project activities adversely affected mountain whitefish (i.e., reduced growth and body

condition).

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 57

The use of Floy T-bar anchor tags rather than boat electrofisher capture was identified as the likely causal

mechanism; therefore, a recommendation was made to use PIT tags in place of Floy tags. Phase 4 studies

examined growth differences between Floy marked and unmarked fish and concluded that Floy tagged

fish grew at a significantly lower rate than unmarked fish. Phase 5 compared the growth of Floy tagged,

PIT tagged, and unmarked mountain whitefish and found that Floy tagged fish grew at a significantly

lower rate than both PIT tagged and unmarked mountain whitefish. PIT tagged and unmarked fish grew at

similar rates.

Phase 6 continued its evaluation of tag effects and sampling effects (capture and processing effects) on

mountain whitefish. Floy and PIT tagged fish marked during previous studies and recaptured during the

present study were used to examine tag effects. In addition, Unmarked Control fish sampled from outside

the standard sections were compared to Unmarked Study fish captured in the standard sections to examine

capture and processing effects on mountain whitefish. Parameters examined included incremental growth

of marked fish, body condition, and reproductive potential (age-at-maturity, gonadsomatic index, and

fecundity).

3.5.1 Incremental Growth

For the incremental growth of marked fish, all available data were used over the period 2001 to 2006 to

increase contrast and the sample size to deal with large variation. Since a three-dimensional plot of the

scatter (Equation 3, Section 2.2.4) would be difficult to interpret, Figure 3.21 provides the predicted

versus observed relative growth (as a fraction of the maximum possible given length-at-release and time-

at-large) based on mark-recapture incremental growth. Note that all measurement error is included in the

observed relative growth. Figure 3.22 plots growth curves derived from the incremental growth of Floy

and PIT marked fish up to 10 years of age to illustrate the divergence in predicted lengths. Estimates of

the non-linear von Bertalanffy parameters for the length increment data (Equation 3 in Section 2.2.4) are

listed in Table 3.11. Length-at-age of unmarked fish and associated von Bertalanffy parameters have been

used as the baseline for comparison for incremental growth by marked fish.

Comparison between growth curves are complicated by the large negative correlation between the

asymptotic length (L∞) and the growth coefficient (K). Following Gallucci and Quinn (1979) the

products ω = L∞K, termed the anabolic constant, were calculated and listed in Table 3.11 and plotted in

Figure 3.23. Age-length derived intervals for Unmarked Study fish using biological data presented in

Section 3.3.3 are included for comparison.

With respect to the figures and table the following should be noted:

1. The anabolic constants derived from incremental growth of Floy and PIT marked mountain whitefish were significantly different (the 95% confidence regions do not overlap) for both the 2005 and 2006 studies.

2. The interval derived from incremental growth of PIT marked fish is not significantly different (overlap) from the age-length derived intervals for Unmarked Study fish for both the 2005 and 2006 studies.

3. The anabolic constants were smaller in 2006 indicating lower growth in 2006. 4. The confidence intervals for PIT marked fish are tighter in 2006 because of more recaptured fish

and longer times at large.

3.5.2 Body Condition

Tag effects and sampling effects on mountain whitefish body condition were evaluated using fish sampled

in Section 1. The results indicated that FLOY marked fish had a significantly lower body condition than

the remaining three treatment groups: PIT marked fish, Unmarked Control fish, and Unmarked Study fish

(Table 3.12).

The findings were consistent with 2004 and 2005 results, which suggested that Floy marks caused

adverse effects on mountain whitefish body condition. They were consistent with 2005 results, which

suggested that PIT marks did not adversely affect body condition. In addition, body condition of

Unmarked Study fish were not significantly different from Unmarked Control fish, which provided

evidence that sampling activities not associated with marking effects (i.e., fish capture by boat

electrofisher and fish processing) did not adversely affect mountain whitefish.

Different letters designate significantly different (P ≤ 0.05) values using post hoc comparison means test.

3.5.3 Reproductive Potential

In 2004, the reproductive potential of mountain whitefish was examined to provide a better understanding

of the biological characteristics of mountain whitefish populations (Mainstream and Gazey 2005). The

general findings of that work were as follows:

1. The sex ratio of the sampled population was approximately 50:50. 2. The majority of males were sexual mature at Age 3, while the majority of females were sexually

mature at Age 4. 3. A portion of the mature population consisted of nonspawners (approximately 20%). 4. There were spatial differences in the gonadosomatic index; male GSI values were highest in

Section 1; female GSI values were lowest in Section 1.

The present study focused on fish located in and adjacent to Section 1 to avoid spatial effects on

reproductive potential (Mainstream and Gazey 2005) and to maximize sample sizes. The four treatment

groups examined were FLOY marked fish, PIT marked fish, Unmarked Control fish, and Unmarked

Study fish.

Sex Ratio

Sex ratio differed among the four treatment groups (Table 3.13). The ratio of males to females was 44:56

for Floy marked fish, which was close to expected (50:50). However, ratios of Unmarked Control,

Unmarked Study, and PIT marked fish were skewed towards males (approximately 65:35); all were

significantly different from the expected ratio of 50:50 (G-test for heterogeneity, P<0.001). The results

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 62

were not consistent with the previous work in Section 1 that recorded a ratio of 52:48 (Mainstream and

Gazey 2005). Possible reasons for the skewed sex ratio could include the locations used to collect fish

and/or small sample sizes.

Age-at-Maturity

The majority of males were sexually mature at Age 3 in most treatment groups (Figure 3.24). Exceptions

included a single Age 3 male in each of the Unmarked Control and Unmarked Study groups. Few Age 2

fish were sampled during the program (n = 2); however, all were mature males. There were no immature

males older than Age 3 in the sample.

Similarly the majority of females were sexually mature after Age 4, which was the expected

age-at-maturity. Only a single female in each of the Unmarked Study (Age 5), PIT mark (Age 7), and

Floy mark (Age 4) groups were not mature. The results were consistent with the previous investigation in

Section 1 (Mainstream and Gazey 2005). Based on the available sample sizes there was no treatment

effect on age-at-maturity.

GSI and Fecundity

Reproductive potential was examined using gonadosomatic index (GSI) and fecundity (No. eggs).

Evaluation of the raw data indicated that GSI was not correlated with fork length or age (Analysis of

Covariance; P ≥ 0.136 for males and P ≥ 0.477 for females); therefore, treatment differences were tested

using Oneway Analysis of Variance.

A visual assessment of the raw fecundity data identified two outliers. This included an Age 12 fish in the

Floy mark group (fecundity 50% higher than all other values) and an Age 5 fish in the PIT mark group

(fecundity 100% lower than all other values). As such, the two outliers were removed from the analyses.

Analysis of Covariance indicated that log-transformed fecundity was correlated with log-transformed fork

length (r2 = 0.261) and treatment slopes were homogeneous (P = 0.240), but the relationship was not

significant (P = 0.066).

A summary of GSI and fecundity estimates are presented in Table 3.14 and comparisons are illustrated in

Figure 3.25.

Mean GSI values for male and female mountain whitefish tended to be lower in the Unmarked Study, PIT

marked, and Floy marked groups compared to the Unmarked Control group. The differences were slight

for females (<12.2% difference between estimates) and they were not significant (Oneway Analysis of

Variance, P = 0.621). The difference between the Unmarked Control and the remaining treatments was

larger (21.3%) and statistically significant (Tukey’s B means test, P < 0.05).

Fecundity estimates demonstrated a similar trend as GSI values. They tended to be lower in the

Unmarked Study, PIT marked, and Floy marked groups compared to the Unmarked Control group.

Values ranged from 3786 eggs (Unmarked Control) to 3469 eggs (PIT marked). However, there were no

statistical differences between treatments (Oneway Analysis of Variance, P = 0.894). Inclusion of the two

outliers did not change the outcome of the analysis (P = 0.341); nor did use of Analysis of Covariance

with log fork length as the covariate (P = 0.610).

In summary, estimates of GSI for male and female and fecundity for female mountain whitefish suggested

a pattern of reduced reproductive potential. Two comparisons (GSI and fecundity for females) indicated

small nonsignificant differences between Unmarked Control fish and the remaining treatments. The

difference for male GSI was larger and statistically significant. These data suggest that there may be

sampling effects on mountain whitefish reproductive potential, which warrants further investigation.

3.6 POPULATION ESTIMATES, CATCHABILITY, AND SURVIVAL

3.6.1.1 Characteristics that Impact Population Estimates

A comparison of mountain whitefish recapture rate by tag type is plotted in Figure 3.26. A comparison of

the recovery rates by the year of tag application and section is recorded in Table 3.15. The rates of

recapture by year of release were significantly different for Sections 1 and 2 (P < 0.05) and nearly

significant in Section 3 (P = 0.07). The high recapture rates of Floy tags released in 2002 and 2003 were

the primary reason for the differences. Consistent with earlier studies (Phases 3, 4, and 5) the earliest

marked fish were more susceptible to capture in 2006.

Figure 3.27 plots the proportion of available marked fish recaptured two and three times by sampling

session. If fish were not influenced by electrofishing (more or less prone to subsequent recapture) then the

lines in Figure 3.27 should coincide and be horizontal. The confidence bounds on the recapture

proportions, assuming a binomial distribution, overlap all other points.

Figure 3.27 Proportion of mountain whitefish recaptured two and three times by sampling session during the Phase 6 Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program, 2006. Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval assuming a multinomial distribution.

Histograms of the mountain whitefish lengths at release and recapture are plotted in Figures 3.28 and

3.29, respectively. Inspection of the figures reveals that smaller fish (250-275 mm) were not recaptured

with the same frequency. A comparison of the lengths (accumulated into 25 mm intervals) by section is

tabulated in Table 3.16. While significant differences were not observed (P > 0.05) in any of the sections,

a slight under representation of smaller fish in the recapture record has been seen consistently in all of the

previous studies.

Time at large of recaptured mountain whitefish regressed on the growth increment (length at release

minus length at recapture) is plotted in Figure 3.30. There was minor but statistically significant growth

of marked fish over the 36 days of the study. Therefore, the boarder histogram of the growth increment

provides an indication of measurement error (residual standard deviation of 3.2 mm for each

measurement).

Figure 3.30 Growth over the study period of mountain whitefish with border histograms of time at large and growth increment by tag type during the Phase 6 Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program, 2006.

The movement of recaptured mountain whitefish between standard sections during 2006 is listed in

Table 3.17 along with the estimates of the migration proportions adjusted for the number of fish examined

(Equation 4). These proportions are plotted in Figure 3.31. Figure 3.32 provides a bar plot of the distance

traveled within each section for marked fish released in 2006. Positive values indicate fish were

recaptured upstream of the release site and vice-versa. Note that most fish were recaptured in the same

site-of-release; however, Section 3 exhibited substantially more within section movement. The movement

of recaptured whitefish between sections with the marks applied in 2002 to 2005 is tabulated in

Table 3.18 and plotted in Figures 3.33 to 3.36, respectively. For the 2002 to 2005 releases, a bar plot of

the distance traveled within each section is displayed in Figure 3.37. Consistent with movement patterns

observed in Phases 3 and 4 of the study, the mountain whitefish released in 2002, 2003, and 2005

(Figures 3.33, 3.34, and 3.36) were remarkably senescent. However fish released in 2004, demonstrated

more movement between sections (Figure 3.35) as was also shown in the Phase 5 study. The movement

of fish within a section released 2002 to 2005 (Figure 3.37) were very similar to the movement of the

2006 releases.

The movement of fish to control sections (up and downstream of each standard section) is displayed in

Figure 3.38. Only seven tags were recaptured; however all were recaptured downstream from their site of

sections (i.e., little mixing) within 2006, population estimates should be stratified by section.

3.6.1.2 Empirical Model Selection

The empirical evaluation of recaptured tags assuming homogeneous or heterogeneous capture

probabilities using MARK software is provided by Table 3.19. For all sections, the constant recapture

model was the most likely; although, there is little to choose between models.

The data summary for the Jolly-Seber open population model and the associated estimates of abundance,

survival (from any source of mortality or movement from the section) and births (immigration into the

section) by river section are provided in Table 3.20. The total row for each section provides the mean

estimated abundance over the sampled sessions, total survival is under the constant survival option and

total births is the simple sum of estimated births by session. In Sections 1 and 2 the 95% confidence

interval for survival included 1.0 and for births included 0. In Section 3 all computed survivals were

significantly different that 1.0 and births (recruitment) entering Session 3 were significantly different

than 0.

These diagnostics indicated a closed population with homogeneous capture probability for Sections 1 and

2 as assumed by the Bayes model. On the other hand, Section 3 exhibited significant recruitment and

survivals other than 1.0 which implies that a closed population model is not appropriate. However, the

survival estimate for session 2 was 1.32 (Table 3.20). Seber (1982) warns that unrealistically high

survival estimates can be confounded with changes in catchability of animals over the study period.

Moreover, unstable catch rates in Section 3 have been previously noted (see Sections 3.4.2 and 3.4.3).

We conclude that neither the Jolly-Seber open model or the Bayes closed model are appropriate for

Section 3.

3.6.1.3 Bayes Sequential Model for a Closed Population

The mark-recapture data were extracted by section from the database using marks applied during 2006

(PIT tags) and marks that were observed during 2006 that were applied in 2001 to 2005 (Floy and PIT

tags) and a minimum length of 250 mm. Table 3.21 lists mountain whitefish examined for marks and

recaptures by date and section. The releases, adjusted for movement between sections (Equation 4) by

section and date, are given in Table 3.22. The compilations of marks available (Equation 6), fish

examined (Equation 7), and recaptures (Equation 8) assuming 0.0 removal and 0% undetected mark rate

are listed in Table 3.23. The subsequent population estimates using the Bayesian closed model are given

in Table 3.24. The sequential posterior probability plots by section are provided in Appendix F

(Figures E1 to E3) and the final posterior distributions for the three sections are drawn in Figure 3.39.

The sequence of posterior probability plots can be used as an indicator of closure or change in the

population size over the study period (Gazey and Staley 1986). Trends in the posterior plots can also be

caused by trends in catchability or capture probability (changes in population size and changes in

catchability over the study period are confounded). Inspection of the plot sequences in Appendix F

reveals that Sections 1 and 2 are consistent with a convergence of the modal population size. However,

Section 3 demonstrates substantial violation of the closure assumption (or constant capture probability)

and we view the population estimate as deficient for this section. These observations are consistent with

the Jolly-Seber recruitment and survival estimates (Table 3.20). Again, note that the Jolly Seber model is

not appropriate for Section 3 because of unstable catchability over time (see Sections 3.4.2 and 3.6.1.2).

3.6.1.4 Catchability

The catchability coefficients and associated population estimates, standard deviation estimates and effort

(Equations 10 to 12) by section are listed in Tables 3.25 and 3.26 using effort measured in kilometers

traveled or the hours of electrofishing to collect the samples. Each table presents the catchability

coefficients from the 2002 to 2006 studies. Figure 3.40 plot the catchability coefficients using both effort

measures and the associated 95% confidence intervals. Note that Sections 1 and 2 catchabilities are

consistent with all previous studies. The catchabilities for Section 3 made in 2004, 2005 and 2006 are

suspect because the underlying population estimates are suspect.

(+/- .074, 95% confidence interval) or survival is between 0.49 and 0.57 with 95% confidence. Again, this

estimate assumes a stable size composition over many years.

3.6.2 Arctic grayling

The mark-recapture data were extracted by section from the database using all available marks with and a

minimum length of 250 mm. Table 3.27 lists Arctic grayling examined for marks and recaptures by date

and section. No Arctic grayling were sampled in Section 1. A single recapture was taken in each of

Sections 2 and 3. There was no movement between sections. Given the sparse recoveries, length

histograms and a growth regression were not conducted. The releases by section and date are given in

Table 3.28. Sections 2 and 3 were combined for the purpose of population estimation. The compilations

of marks available (Equation 6), fish examined (Equation 7), and recaptures (Equation 8) assuming 0.0

removal and 0% undetected mark rate are listed in Table 3.29. The population estimate using the

Bayesian closed model is given in Table 3.30, the associated sequential posterior probability plots are

provided in Appendix F (Figure F4) and the final posterior distribution is drawn in Figure 3.42. The

sparse recoveries made point estimates highly unreliable. The minimum population size probability plot

(Equation 9) is supplied in Figure 3.43 from which it can be determined that there is a 95% probability

that the population size is at least 550 in Sections 2 and 3 combined.

The mark-recapture data were extracted by section from the database using all marks applied with a

minimum length of 250 mm. Table 3.31 lists bull trout examined for marks and recaptures by date and

section. Three out of four total recaptures were observed in Section 3 and no movement between sections

was noted. The releases by section and date are given in Table 3.32. Population estimates were only

computed for Section 3. The compilations of marks available (Equation 6), fish examined (Equation 7),

and recaptures (Equation 8) assuming 0.0 removal and 0% undetected mark rate are listed in Table 3.33

for Section 3. The subsequent population estimates for Section 3 using the Bayesian closed model are

given in Table 3.34, the associated sequential posterior probability plots are provided in Appendix F

(Figure F5) and the final posterior distributions are drawn in Figure 3.44. The sparse recoveries made

point estimates highly unreliable. The minimum population size probability plot (Equation 9) is supplied

in Figure 3.45 from which it can be determined that there is a 95% probability that the population size is

at least 170 in Section 3.

Community Indexing Program, 2006 (dashed line indicates the 95% percentile).

3.6.4 Evaluation as a Monitoring Tool

A key objective of this study was to establish an index to use as a monitoring tool. Ideally, the index (e.g.,

catch-per-unit-effort) should remain proportional to abundance across locations (river sections) and under

various abundance levels. In order to compare the catchability coefficient across years the 2006 results

using all marked fish should be used. We argue that a tag would have been applied to a fish but for the

presence of the old tag. For mountain whitefish, this proportionality constant (the catchability coefficient)

was demonstrated to be constant in Sections 1 and 2 over all years sampled (Tables 3.25 and 3.26 and

Figure 3.40) even though there was a two-fold difference in the population size, different flow regimes

between the years and there was a substantial ability (high power) to differentiate small changes in

catchability (a CV of less than 10.3% in any year). Similarly, Section 3 in 2002 and 2003 confirmed a

consistent catchability coefficient.

In Section 3 the catchability was significantly smaller in 2004 because water clarity was below the

threshold identified (50 mm) as having an effect on catchability (Mainstream and Gazey 2005). In 2005,

Section 3 experienced an in-migration of fish; however, Mainstream and Gazey (2006) argued that if

there were no substantial mortality or emigration then the subsequent population estimate and associated

catchability estimate may reflect a mean estimate weighted by mark application and sampling intensity.

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 97

Indeed, the 2005 Section 3 catchability coefficient is consistent with other years and sections that were

deemed to be reliable. In 2006, the Section 3 closed population estimate was judged to be unreliable

because of unstable survival estimates (significantly different than 1.0) and sequential posterior

distributions over the study period.

3.6.4 1 Sample Design and Assumptions

The factors that affect the population estimates can be evaluated through an assessment of assumptions

required for the closed sequential stratified population model.

1. The population is closed, so the population size does not change over the period of the

experiment. Only a very few mountain whitefish were recaptured in river sections other than the section of release (2%, approximately). This finding includes the 2006 investigation of fish movements into control sections located immediately adjacent to the standard sections. Therefore the number of whitefish leaving the sampled sections over the study period likely was very small. Fish can move within the section (to different sites); however, the movement is fully determined by the history of recaptured marks. While few Arctic grayling and bull trout were recaptured, none was observed to move to a different river section. Because mountain whitefish reside in the sampled sections, fish are not expected to immigrate or emigrate to/from those sections. Mortality and growth recruitment were not expected to be issues because the study period was short. On the other hand, the sequence of daily posterior distributions provided clear empirical evidence that this assumption was violated in Section 3 for mountain whitefish.

2. All fish in a stratum (day and section), whether marked or unmarked, have the same probability

of being caught. The study area was stratified into three river sections to account for any differences in catchability, lack of mixing, marks applied or population size. As found in previous studies (Mainstream and Gazey 2004 and 2005) significant heterogeneous capture probabilities by tag type and year of application were observed (Table 3.15 and Figure 3.26). However, empirical evaluations of recaptures, using additional parameters to represent heterogeneous effects, were less likely than constant recapture probability (Table 3.19). The consistency of the catchability coefficient across various population sizes and flow conditions in Section 1 argues that any impact from heterogeneity of recaptured fish was small.

3. Fish do not lose their marks over the period of the study. Each captured fish was examined for the

presence of a scar. No fish with recent scarring (marked in 2006 with PIT tags) were observed. Eight old scars on mountain whitefish (assumed to be marked 2001 to 2004 with Floy tags) out of 893 captures (0.9%) were observed. One old scarred bull trout out of 7 captures (12.5%) was observed. The impact on the 2006 closed population estimation model from lost marks should be small. Multi-year mark-recapture experiments using Floy tags may be confounded by tag loss.

4. All marked fish are reported on recovery. Only fish brought on board were included in the

number of fish examined for a mark; thus, it is unlikely that a tagged fish would escape detection.

3.6.4.2 Effort Needed to Detect Change

Because there is little movement of fish between the river sections, sampling intensity can be isolated to a

section. Figure 3.46 plots the precision as a function of electrofishing effort (hours) using Equations 13,

14, and 15 for mountain whitefish in Section 1. For reference, the 2006 effort expended is also plotted.

The plots indicate that an effort reduction in Section 1 may risk substantive loss of power. Future project

planning should focus on the addition or removal of sections rather than amend the sampling intensity of

a section.

For Arctic grayling and bull trout there was not sufficient data to generate a reliable power curve.

Figure 3.46 Precision (percentage of the mean) of the population estimate of Section 1 at various effort levels for mountain whitefish by project year during the Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program, 2002 to 2006.

3.6.5 Comparison to Previous Studies

Table 3.35 provides the historical estimates of population size by species. The effort column refers to the

total number of hours of electrofishing expended in the study. Precision is defined here as half the 95%

HPD expressed as a percentage of the Bayesian mean. Note the very large precision values (e.g., greater

than 80%) implies that any point estimates are highly unreliable. Also, direct comparison of population

estimates between years is not feasible because different sections were sampled. Bar plots of the

population estimates for the 2002 to 2006 studies with sections common to 2006 are provided in

Figures 3.47 and 3.48 for mountain whitefish and bull trout, respectively.

3.6.6 Multi-Year Open Population Estimates

A long term objective of the annual mark-recapture design could be to employ a “robust model” where

the closed population estimates from each study year can be combined with the open population estimates

from between year recaptures (e.g., Kendall et al. 1995) to allow estimates of survival and the total

population size (includes the population that is not subject to sampling each year). In order to execute this

approach, the fish need to be sampled and marked for a minimum of four years. The mark or project

effects can not impede the fish and the same proportion of the population must be vulnerable each year or

covariates (e.g., water level, water clarity) are available that allow estimation of the proportion of the

population available to sample each year.

Mountain whitefish is a candidate for such a study. For example, Section 1 closed population estimates

made for 2002 to 2006 (five years) are defensible. However, there are many problems that may impede

the analysis. Recent developments in the MARK software (White 2006) will allow the inclusion of

additional data sources and analytical procedures that may help address some of the problems. The

problems that can be in some measure addressed are as follows:

1. MARK estimation procedures can work with an unbalanced design so that partial data

sources where the population appeared to be closed can be included; namely, Section 2 sampled during the years 2002, 2003, and 2006; and Sections 3 and 4 sampled during 2002 and 2003.

2. Floy tags were applied from 2002 to 2004 and PIT tags were applied 2004 to 2006 (i.e., neither tag has the requisite four years of continuous sampling). MARK allows for stratification by tag type so that the effective sampling domain is five years.

3. The effects of Floy marked fish on growth and condition may lead to differential vulnerability and survival of marked and unmarked fish to electrofishing because of size differences. Also, Floy tags appear be subject to tag loss of marks one year and older which confounds survival and population estimates. MARK allows for additional parameters to account for differential vulnerability, survival and loss of Floy tags in comparison to PIT tags.

4. As pointed out by Mainstream and Gazey (2005), the increase in population size in 2004 in Section 1 from the stable levels in 2002 and 2003 (Figure 3.46) is too large to be due to recruitment into the plus 250 mm size group. Therefore, a different population was sampled in 2004. Possibly the low water levels served to concentrate the fish. MARK allows for covariates that relate to the proportion available for sampling each year. Perhaps assuming a vulnerability spike in 2004 will result in a better fit to the data.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Results and Discussion

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 102

Unfortunately, the following two issues cannot be addressed through MARK:

1. MARK cannot account for unmarked fish that are captured, searched for the presence of a

mark and released without a mark being applied in the calculation of the likelihood function. The Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program has depended on this sampling strategy to maximize sampling efficiency, particularly in the fifth and sixth sessions. The impact of alternative approximation methodologies (e.g., treat as not sampled, treat as dead animals through the year with an offsetting injection of new animals between years) has not yet been evaluated.

2. Fish move between sections both within and between years. MARK can accommodate state-space models which, in theory, can be used to portray the movement of fish. In practice, complex state space models are very difficult to parameterize particularly with only partial data available in sections other than Section 1. Again, the impact of alternative approximation methodologies (e.g., ignore fish movement) has not yet been evaluated.

3.7 CATCH RATE AS INDEX OF ABSOLUTE ABUNDANCE

Catchabilty estimates for mountain whitefish generated during the present study (excluding the

invalidated population estimate for Section 3) were consistent among sample years and sections

investigated during the Peace River Fish Community Indexing program (Figure 3.40). Catchability using

distance as the measure of effort is approximately 3.000 x 10-3.

The relationship between catch rate (fish/km) and absolute abundance, which includes the data for

Sections 1 and 2 in 2006, is presented in Figure 3.49. The catchability estimate (±95%CI) based on this

linear relationship is 2.753 x 10-3 ± 0.286 x 10-3. The estimate is precise (95% CI is 10% of the estimate)

and the relationship explains 90% of the observed variation.

Catchability of mountain whitefish in sampled sections of the Peace River remained stable over five years

of sampling, for a large range of fish densities, and despite spatial differences in the physical

characteristics of sampled sections. The one caveat to this statement was the requirement for water clarity

to remain above 50 cm (Mainstream and Gazey 2005).

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 105

4.0 SUMMARY

4.1 SAMPLING CONDITIONS

Mean daily discharge was approximately 500 cms and varied around this value during the entire field

program. Hourly discharge was constant on some sample days or fluctuated during a 24 hr period. This

discharge pattern differed from that of previous studies. In 2006 discharge tended to be lower and more

stable. In general, the 2006 flow regime was most similar to conditions recorded in 2004. In 2006, inputs

from the Halfway River and other tributaries were very low.

In 2006, water clarity was high and remained above the 50 cm threshold that potentially affected

catchability. In addition, water temperatures remained above the threshold that initiates mountain

whitefish spawning activity (7.5oC). As such, these factors likely did not have a strong influence on fish

catch rates during the present study.

4.2 FISH COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS

Fish community characteristics documented in 2006 were similar to findings of previous investigations.

Eleven large-fish species were recorded and mountain whitefish dominated numerically. There was a

change in the relative importance of longnose suckers. Percent composition of longnose suckers in the

total sample prior to 2006 typically exceeded 5.0% compared to 2.0% during the present study.

4.3 BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The results for the present study were consistent with those of previous investigations. The program

design was sufficient to document spatial and temporal trends in the biological characteristics of the target

species populations. The following highlights key findings.

4.3.1 Arctic grayling

In total, 118 unmarked Arctic grayling were sampled for biological characteristics. Arctic grayling were

not captured in Section 1. The fork length of the sampled population ranged from 162 mm to 404 mm,

which represented fish aged 1 to 5. Fish older than Age 3 were largely absent.

There were spatial differences in length and age distributions of Arctic grayling. In Section 3, the sample

consisted primarily of age-class 1; in Section 2, Age 3 fish dominated the sample.

Page 130: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 106

In 2006, no significant differences in length-at-age were recorded. This compares to spatial differences in

length-at-age recorded during previous studies. Mean lengths tended to be higher in downstream sections

compared to upstream sections. Body condition-at-age of Arctic grayling generally were similar among

sections.

There were annual differences in the length and age distributions of Arctic grayling. The numerical

strength of Age 1 fish entering the population appeared to be the controlling factor. There were yearly

differences in the mean fork length of younger fish. Lengths of Age 1 fish in 2004 and 2006 were

significantly higher than lengths of Age 1 fish in 2003 and 2005 (Figure 3.6). A possible explanation for

this was altered growing conditions caused by differing flow regimes in the Peace River (i.e., lower

discharge in 2004 and 2006 compared to higher discharge in 2003 and 2005).

4.3.2 Bull trout

In total, 118 bull trout were sampled for biological characteristics. Fork lengths ranged from 183 mm to

835 mm with ages ranging from Age 1 to Age 9.

Length and age distributions of bull trout appeared to differ between sections. Fish Aged 1 to 3 dominated

in Sections 1 and 3, whereas Section 2 contained a broader distribution of age-classes. Bull trout older

than Age 6 were poorly represented in all sections. Comparisons of mean length-at-age and age-specific

body condition indicated few differences between sections, which is consistent with previous

investigations.

There were annual differences in age distributions. There was a strong contribution of Age 3 fish in

Sections 1 and 3 in 2006. Age 1 fish were present in the 2005 and 2006 samples. Prior to 2005 this age

class was absent. There also were yearly differences for the adult cohort (Age 6 and older), particularly in

Section 3. As suggested by Mainstream and Gazey (2004), the absence of the adult cohort in the

Peace River during the field program likely reflects the timing of spawning activity in tributaries rather

than real changes in population structure.

4.3.3 Mountain whitefish

In total, 8512 unmarked mountain whitefish were measured and 665 fish (8% of the sample) were aged.

There were spatial differences in length and age distributions of mountain whitefish in 2006, which was

Page 131: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 107

consistent with findings during previous investigations. Fish in Section 1 exhibited a truncated length

distribution caused by the preponderance of Age 4 and Age 5 fish. Younger fish (Ages 0 and 1) and older

fish (> Age 6) were largely absent. In contrast, mountain whitefish in Section 3 exhibited multi-modal

length distributions represented by multiple ages. Age 0 and Age 1 fish accounted for a substantial

proportion of this sample population, which indicated good recruitment. Mountain whitefish in Section 2

represented a continuum between the two other sections, with biological characteristics being most

similar to those of fish in Section 1.

There were spatial differences in growth. Older age-classes in Sections 1 and 2 had significantly lower

mean lengths compared to Section 3, which was similar to findings during previous investigations. No

spatial pattern was recorded for mountain whitefish body condition in 2006, which is in contrast to

findings of previous investigations. The absence of section differences in mountain whitefish body

condition may have been related to elevated water temperatures in 2006, which damped spatial effects on

somatic and/or gonad tissue growth.

Length and age distributions in 2006 were consistent with previous studies. The length distribution in

Section 1 remained strongly unimodal and there was weak representation by Age 1 and Age 2 fish.

Apparent mortality remained at approximately 50%. Length and age distributions of mountain whitefish

in Section 3 were consistent.

There were yearly differences in mountain whitefish growth and body condition. Growth rate estimates

for younger fish in Section 1 indicated that the 2004 growth rate was lower compared to other years. In

Section 3, 2002 and 2003 were lower compared to other years. Yearly comparisons of individual age

classes also indicated significant differences in both Sections 1 and 3, but there were no trends.

Comparisons of adjusted mean fork length for older fish indicated significant yearly differences in

Section 1 and Section 3. In Section 1 there was a tendency for length-at-age to decrease over time, but no

trend was documented in Section 3.

There were large annual differences in mountain whitefish body condition in both Section 1 and Section

3. No temporal trend was evident in Section 1, but an upward trend occurred in Section 3. A negative

correlation between body condition and mean water temperature at the time of sampling indicated that

water temperature, at least in Section 1, may have been the causal mechanism.

4.3.4 Summary

The results of the 2006 fish indexing program were generally consistent with those of previous

investigations. The program was able to quantify several parameters used to describe the biological

characteristics of each target species population.

Spatial and temporal differences in mountain whitefish biological characteristics were identified with

statistical certainty. However, collection of sufficient sample sizes dictates our ability to identify spatial

and temporal differences, if they occur, for Arctic grayling and bull trout sampled populations.

4.4 CATCH RATE

4.4.1 General

The results of Phase 6 demonstrated that established sampling protocols were appropriate to generate

reliable data and findings were consistent with previous investigations. In general, catch rates differed

between species, section, and habitat. Catch rates for Arctic grayling and bull trout were low in all

sections and were much less than those of mountain whitefish. Arctic grayling and bull trout catch rates

tended to be higher in SFC habitats compared to SFN habitats, while the reverse was true for mountain

whitefish.

Mean catch rates differed between sections. Arctic grayling were very scarce in Section 1, moderately

numerous in Section 2, and most numerous in Section 3. The differences were caused by the relative

contribution of young fish to the samples. Bull trout tended to be least abundant in Section 1. Catch rates

of mountain whitefish were higher in Sections 1 and 2 compared to Section 3.

4.4.2 Confounding Factors

Discharge, water clarity, and water temperature were not confounding factors in 2006.

4.4.3 Comparison to Previous Investigations

Arctic grayling and bull trout catch rates remained low during the present study, which was consistent to

findings during previous investigations. Mountain whitefish catch rates recorded in Section 1 in 2006

were similar to values recorded in 2005. In contrast, the upward trend of catch rates recorded in Section 3

since the first year of standardized sampling was reversed in 2006. Mean catch rates in 2006 declined and

Page 133: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 109

were similar to values recorded in 2002. It should be noted that catch rates were not constant during the

2006 field program; therefore, the results for Section 3 should be interpreted with caution.

4.5 SAMPLING EFFECTS

Phase 6 continued its evaluation of tag effects and sampling effects (capture and processing) on

mountain whitefish.

Tag Effects

Floy tag effects on growth and condition were shown to be statistically significant by the current study

and previously in Phase 4 and 5 studies. Because the absolute biological impacts are also large in terms of

growth and condition we should expect significant impacts on survival and vulnerability to recapture over

the long term. The impact of Floy tagged fish on the current study is not known; however, since the study

was conducted over a short period (36 days) and most fish were marked with PIT tags, we believe the

impact to be small.

PIT tag effects on growth and body condition did not differ statistically from that of Unmarked Study fish

(current study and Phase 5). This provides evidence that PIT tags are a suitable alternative to use of Floy

tags.

Sampling Effects

Body condition of Unmarked Study fish was not significantly different from Unmarked Control fish,

(current study and Phase 5), which provided evidence that sampling activities not associated with tagging

(i.e., boat electrofisher capture and fish processing) did not adversely affect mountain whitefish.

Preliminary results evaluating sampling effects on mountain whitefish reproductive potential suggested a

possible effect. Two comparisons (GSI and female fecundity) indicated small nonsignificant differences

between Unmarked Control fish and remaining treatments. The difference for male GSI was larger and

statistically significant. These findings warrant further investigation.

4.6 POPULATION ESTIMATES

Overall, the program was highly successful for mountain whitefish but much less so for Arctic grayling

and bull trout. Population estimates were made using a Bayesian sequential closed population model and

with an open Jolly-Seber model for mountain whitefish. Since marks were applied only to fish greater

Page 134: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 110

than 250 mm, estimates are only applicable to that portion of the population. Population estimates were

generated for three river sections (1, 2, and 3) using minimum time-at-large of five days, a minimum

length of 250 mm, an annual instantaneous removal rate (represents natural mortality, unobserved

removals and emigration) of 0.0 and an undetected mark rate of 0%. The closed population estimates

were defensible for Sections 1 and 2, but Section 3 had a serious closure violation and the closed

population model estimates are not valid. Similar to previous studies (Mainstream and Gazey 2004 and

2005) significant heterogeneous capture probabilities were observed; however, the addition of parameters

to account for heterogeneity did not clearly improve model likelihood. With the exception of Section 3,

the consistency of the catchability coefficient across various population sizes and flow conditions argues

that any impact from heterogeneous capture should be small.

Sampling in control sections immediately upstream and downstream of each standard section, including

Section 3, recorded very limited numbers of marked fish (n ≤ 3). As such, short distance movements by

substantial numbers of marked fish out of standard sections did not occur during the 2006 field program.

As such, it is unlikely that short distance longitudinal movements during the sample period influenced

capture probabilities. It is possible that heterogeneous capture probabilities recorded in Section 3 were

related to long distance longitudinal movements of fish. The indexing program sampled 36% of the

available mainstem river in the total study area; therefore there is the potential that marked fish that

emigrated out of sampled sections would not be recorded. Another possible explanation for the

heterogeneous capture probabilities recorded in Section 3 would be lateral movements of fish in or out of

the zone of capture (i.e., nearshore habitat). Neither hypothesis can be tested using data collected with the

existing study design.

For mountain whitefish, the large number of marks applied and recaptured and the structured sequential

sampling design allowed the following findings:

1. Empirical evaluation of the assumptions required for population estimation. 2. Population estimates must be stratified by river section. 3. Verification that catchability is constant between river sections and years (thus catch-per-unit

effort indices are comparable and representative of the vulnerable population) where compliance with the closed population assumption allows for rigorous comparison and where water clarity is not an issue.

4. The population vulnerable to sampling in 2004 was different than that in other study years. 5. Sampling effort should be standardized (sample with same array of sites, intensity and period) if

high precision is required.

Page 135: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Summary

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 111

For Arctic grayling and bull trout, population estimates are available, but the overall precision is poor

(CV = 87.9% and 88.5%, respectively. There is not sufficient data to forecast effort levels needed for

reliable population estimates for either species.

4.7 CATCH RATE AS AN INDEX OF ABSOLUTE ABUNDANCE

The catchability estimate for mountain whitefish remained robust despite a range of conditions

encountered among sample years and sections. As such catch rate can be used as an index of absolute

abundance. Twelve data points are now available to quantify the relationship.

Three caveats should be acknowledged regarding use of catch rate as an index of abundance as follows:

1. Sampling protocols (methods, equipment, and approach) must be consistent. 2. Water clarity must remain above 50 cm. 3. The target population must remain closed during the sampling period.

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Recommendations

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 113

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

The stated overall objective of the Large River Program is:

“to establish fish monitoring protocols that can be used reliably across the Peace River and Columbia River watersheds to provide an index of the general status of the fish community”.

The findings of the Peace River Phase 2 and 3 programs indicated that the monitoring protocols were

suitable to meet the objective of the program, particularly for mountain whitefish. Biological

characteristics were suitable to monitor Arctic grayling and bull trout, but deficiencies related primarily to

low fish numbers hinder use of catch rates and population estimates as monitoring tools for these two

target species populations. Phases 4, 5, and 6 results confirmed these findings with two exceptions. These

exceptions are as follows:

1. Water clarity less than 50 cm reduces catchability, thereby negating use of catch rate as an index

of absolute abundance under those sampling conditions. 2. One or more as yet unknown factors in some index sections cause mountain whitefish movements

that invalidate results of the closed population estimate model.

Because the program is aware of these confounding factors and has the sensitivity to identify these and

other issues as they occur, the Peace River Fish Indexing Program as presently designed meets the overall

objective of the Large River Program.

After five years of standardized sampling we conclude that the program has become mature with

diminishing returns with respect to the knowledge gained for the effort expended. A decision is now

needed with respect to the future direction of the program. This is important for the following reasons:

1. The present scope of the program limits its ability to collect data that are needed to interpret the

indexing results. 2. Adjustments to the program may be required in order to address monitoring needs of the Peace

River Water Use Plan.

During each year of study, results were reviewed to identify issues of concern and recommendations were

made to address those issues. The tasks of each subsequent study were limited to the main objective of

refining sampling protocols. The Peace River Fish Community Program will continue to adhere to this

overriding objective. To this end we recommend the following for the Phase 7 program:

Page 138: PEACE RIVER FISH COMMUNITY INDEXING PROGRAM - Site C Project · Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Executive Summary Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 v For Arctic

Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program - Phase 6 Recommendations

Mainstream Aquatics Ltd. March 2007 114

General

1. Repeat the standard program to extend the time series data.

2. Maintain the current study design and sampling protocols with the following adjustments:

a. Continue to restrict the marking system to use of PIT tags to address the issue of detrimental effects caused by Floy T-bar anchor tags.

b. Reinstitute Section 5 to extend the time series data and remove Section 2. Phase 6 demonstrated minimal numbers of marked fish outside of the indexing sections; therefore, this study objective was achieved and use of Section 2 is no longer required.

c. Continuation of five marking sessions to examine use of open population estimate models and examine suspected violations of the closed population assumption.

d. Continue the control fish program to provide a random sample of fish to evaluate non-tag effect sampling activities on target fish populations. Parameters examined should include growth, body condition, and reproductive potential.

Population Estimates

3. Sample Sections 1, 3 and 5 to extend the sampling history. The continuous five year record of consistent and rigorous sampling is a valuable baseline for the mountain whitefish population. Adding years to the data set will increase its value.

4. Conduct a mark-recapture “robust design” analysis for mountain whitefish to allow estimates of survival and the total population size which includes the population that is not subject to sampling each year.

5. Build an age-structured model that will serve to synthesize catch-per-unit-of-effort, age and abundance information. If such models are to be maintained and used for the evaluation of dam operation impacts there will be a need to collect long term information on population dynamics (e.g., mortality and stock-recruitment functional form). The continued application of long-lasting marks (e.g., PIT tags) will assist in this endeavor.

These recommendations do not address a number of data gaps/issues that may compromise the ability to

interpret the ecological significance of the indexing data. Data gaps/issues identified during the present

and previous investigations are as follows:

5. Develop a catchability coefficient for low water clarity conditions. 6. Collect data to identify the potential serious issue of heterogeneous capture probability in

Section 3 (fish movement study) 7. Collect data (e.g., fish movements, angler harvest, and river productivity) in order to interpret

ecological meaning of the indexing information. 8. Collect information to quantify recruitment of younger-aged fish into the target fish populations

(e.g., dedicated small fish sampling program).

As recommended during previous investigations, consideration should be given to expanding the scope of

the Peace River Fish Community Indexing Program in order to address these data gaps/issues.
