Do natural history data predict the movement ecology of fishes in Lake Ontario streams?

Abstract: Little is known about the movements of most stream fishes, so fisheries managers often rely on natural history data from the literature to make management decisions. Observations of over 15 000 individuals from 37 species across 3 years were used to evaluate four aspects of the reliability of literature data for predicting the movement behaviour of stream fishes: (i) water temperature when fish enter streams; (ii) reasons for moving into the streams; (iii) stream residence times of migrants; and (iv) relative … Show more

“…To this day, our knowledge of the movement ecology of salmonids remains incomplete (Dolinsek, McLaughlin, Grant, O'Connor, & Pratt, ), and may impact the effectiveness of management strategies currently in place which often relies on downstream fish passage data. Conservation decision‐making processes also rely on population measurements and survival estimates (Mace et al., ).…”

“…3), structures become more expensive to construct and maintain, and perhaps more prone to failure as multiple parts have to function in harmony to maintain selectivity. It should be noted that current knowledge of the traits that could be used to develop selective fish passage is based on a relatively few recreationally or economically important species, although natural history accounts can contain useful information for other species (Dolinsek et al 2014). Consequently, transferability of passage structures developed for these taxa to other systems can be low (Mallen-Cooper and Brand 2007).…”

“…The abundance and diversity of fish that require passage at any barrier varies by ecoregion, movement phenology, and a suite of environmental factors (Dolinsek et al 2014 ). Feedback loops affect fish assemblages on the basis of the outcomes of previous passage attempts.…”

“…Routine fish sampling and movement studies can help assess the timing and composition of fish assemblages approaching a fishway. If movements have strong correlations to environmental conditions (e.g., water temperature, time of day, discharge, water level), fish approaches could be predicted to an extent or modified for sorting purposes (Vélez-Espino et al 2011 , Dolinsek et al 2014 ). For example, Workman and colleagues ( 2002 ) found the probability of upstream migration of adult steelhead rainbow trout in the St. Joseph River, Michigan, to increase with increasing stream temperature above a minimum threshold temperature.…”
