*Abundance is a key factor: the more rainbow trout upstream in the Lees Ferry reach = more trout will move downstream to the LCR reach in search of unoccupied habitat

Links and Information

Background

Initial investigations found:

  • Efficacy of Mechanical Removal is dependent on immigration levels
  • RBT abundance was high and variable, partially offset by trout immigration
  • BNT were more predaceous than RBT
  • RBT were more numerous than BNT
  • Predation risk is a function of both density & predatory behavior

Information Needs:

  • What controls trout abundance?
  • Where were RBT migrants originating from?
  • How many sub-adult HBC move into the mainstem?
  • How variable was subadult HBC survival?
  • Was there a relationship between HBC survival & RBT abundance?

Outcomes:
Need to develop alternative sampling methods for determining trout and chub abundance and vital rates

  • Natal Origin Project: Movement and trout dynamics
  • NSE/JCM Projects: Juvenile HBC survival and other regulating factors

Local recruitment in Marble Canyon down to the LCR:

There does appear to be some local trout recruitment in Marble Canyon down to the LCR but the numbers of trout at the LCR are driven more by immigration from upstream sources (i.e. the Lees Ferry reach) than by local recruitment. [2] [3]
