“…Temperatures in barge holds can vary between 168C and 218C in June and July, averaging an increase of 1.68C in McNary Reservoir (;5-h transit time) and 1.88C in the John Day Reservoir (;10-h transit time; Hoffarth 2000). The preferred temperature for juvenile Chinook salmon is between 128C and 138C (Brett 1952; 3-98C lower than the barge hold temperatures), and warming trends similar to those reported by Hoffarth (2000) for barges in the Columbia River have been linked to deleterious effects on the physiology and survival of juvenile Chinook salmon (Quigley and Hinch 2006). Fall Chinook salmon migrating downriver may have the advantage over barged fish during summer months because they are free to avoid warm surface water by seeking cooler, deeper water.…”

We estimated the survival of juvenile salmonids out-migrating through the lower Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. We tested the null hypotheses that no association exists between survival and transportation type (including barge transportation and in-river migration with no transportation), release date, river flow, mean body weight, and tag type. During 2002-2004 and fall Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and steelhead O. mykiss were implanted with uniquely coded radio or acoustic transmitter tags and released during the early, middle, and late out-migration periods. A series of receiver lines were used to detect these fish and estimate survival. Estimated survival varied considerably with transportation type and release date for fall Chinook salmon and steelhead, but the results were dependent upon year. Estimated survival between the lowermost dam (Bonneville Dam) and the upper estuary (river kilometer 46) was relatively high for SS Chinook salmon and steelhead, whereas estimates for fall Chinook salmon were comparatively low. This order of high to low survival for SS Chinook salmon, steelhead, and fall Chinook salmon corresponds with the chronology of out-migration timing and waning river flows. After accounting for a number of factors, estimated survival between Bonneville Dam and the upper-estuary site did not differ significantly between steelhead that were barged and those that migrated in-river during 2002 and 2003. Conversely, estimated survival to the upper-estuary site was quite low for barged fall Chinook salmon in comparison with fish migrating in-river during the middle and late release dates in 2003. Hypotheses for the low survival of barged fall Chinook salmon are presented and discussed.

“…17 m) from which water was directly withdrawn. Acute elevations of water temperature have shown different physiological (Quigley and Hinch, 2006) and metabolic (Steinhausen et al, 2008) disorders in salmonids, suggesting impaired stress responses. Moreover, the warm temperatures (higher than 17°C) registered more frequently during summer in the RS had also possibly an impact on subsequent fish behavior.…”

“…In fish farms, it is generally admitted that disruptions of swimming behavior or of fish shoal cohesion within the tank is a relevant indicator of stress. The swimming behavior of a shoal can be modified by various environmental stressors such as poor water quality (Baganz et al, 2005;Davidson et al, 2011a;Santos et al, 2010) or suboptimal temperature (Hasler et al, 2009;Quigley and Hinch, 2006). Although group behavior is a sensitive and simple welfare indicator for fish farmers, it is more difficult to evaluate the mental state of each individual, though this could provide crucial information for describing individual's wellbeing.…”

“…Given the low discharge rates of first-and second-order streams (observed range 0Ð016-0Ð02 m 3 s 1 ), this may cause stress to fauna, especially fish. The temperature increase by 1-4°C and lasting for 1Ð5 h above the ambient temperature may physiologically stress fish and may cause some fish mortality (Quigley and Hinch, 2006). The resistance of fish to thermal stress is a function of time (Elliott, 1991).…”

Downstream effects of beaver ponds on the water quality of New England first‐ and second‐order streams

Beaver, as allogenic ecosystem engineers, are capable of extensively altering surrounding habitats resulting in significant effects on stream water quality. This paper presents insight into downstream effects of beaver impoundments (both actively maintained and abandoned by beaver) and accumulated sediments on water quality, especially in protected watersheds serving as a drinking water supply. In a tributary un-inhabited by beaver compared to those with active beaver ponds, we found significantly (p < 0Ð001) lower concentrations of NO 3 -N (respectively: mean (standard error)) without beaver 0Ð11 (0Ð005) mg/l and with beaver 0Ð14 (0Ð002) mg/l), NH 4 -N (0Ð007 (0Ð002) and 0Ð24 (0Ð002) mg/l), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (3Ð47 (0Ð081) and 8Ð37 (0Ð203) mg/l), chlorophyll (2Ð38 (0Ð066) and 6Ð96 (0Ð203) µg/l), and temperature (16Ð43 (0Ð101) and 19Ð85 (0Ð123)°C), but higher pH (7Ð17 (0Ð02) and 6Ð72 (0Ð022)), PO 4 (0Ð20 (0Ð01) and 0Ð17 (0Ð014) mg/l) concentration, and dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation (100Ð8 (0Ð708) and 67Ð6 (1Ð74)%). Within the beaver ponds, we observed a high abundance of predatory zooplankton, which help to control algae and feed on detritus within the pond ecosystem. We intentionally breached an abandoned beaver dam in the field and conducted a sediment resuspension experiment in the laboratory to assess the potential for increases in turbidity and nutrients from beaver pond sediments as would be expected in the event of a catastrophic dam breach. We found that abandoned beaver ponds have a stronger influence on downstream water quality than actively maintained ponds owing to higher turbidity with finer sediments and sharply increased stream water temperature during a dam failure.
