Spokane Symposium Proposal Discussion
|
Under the theme of "What Do Fish Mean to Us?," the Program Committee of the 152nd Annual Meeting in Spokane, Washington, August 21-25, 2022, encourages symposium topics that exemplify the latest research in fisheries science and that will benefit a range of audiences with the aim of advancing the science of fisheries ecology, conservation, and management. This year, we are offering a discussion platform for more collaboration, transparency, and participation in symposium development.

High-resolution remote sensing and habitat modeling enables a detailed account of dynamic habitat capacity for salmon and steelhead above impassable dams. This gives insights into prospect for successful reintroduction. Thermal regimes in a relatively wild and pristine river system, the upper Merced River and its South Fork, appear too warm for reintroduction of existing stocks of spring-run Chinook Salmon. However, the regulated flow regime of the upper Tuolumne River appears to generate an anthropogenic thermal refugium suitable for reintroduction of spring-run Chinook Salmon in the central Sierra Nevada of California.

Petroleum platforms provide high-relief reef habitat in several ocean basins and are important to fishes and fishers alike. To determine which variables were important for shaping platform-associated fish assemblages on a basin-wide scale in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the authors of this paper employed optic and acoustic methods to measure fish distribution (geographic and water-column), abundance, biomass, density, size, diversity, and richness at 54 platforms.

In this paper, the authors validated the performance of two types of predation sensors on acoustic telemetry transmitters in a combined field and laboratory study design using juvenile Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar and a predator large Brown Trout S. trutta. One tag model was outfitted with an acid-sensitive predation sensor, and the other was equipped with a tilt-based orientation sensor.
