“…Dams are ubiquitous across the landscape of the United States (Graf 1999), and there is an increasing awareness that removal of ageing dams and provision of fish passage provide special opportunities to conserve migratory fishes (Burdick and Hightower 2006;Catalano et al 2007;Hogg et al 2013;Pess et al 2014). In the US Pacific Northwest, dams and other structures have severely reduced the quantity and quality of spawning and rearing habitats accessible to Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.…”

Following construction of a fish ladder at Landsburg Diversion Dam on the Cedar River, Washington, USA, in fall 2003, we used DNA-based parentage to identify second generation Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) salmon as recruits that were produced above the dam or "strays" dispersing into the new habitat that were produced elsewhere. For both species, strays colonized immediately but decreased as a proportion of the total run over time. Chinook salmon strays were more numerous in years when the species was more abundant below the dam and included a much larger proportion of hatchery origin salmon than did coho salmon. Productivity, calculated as the ratio of female recruits sampled at the dam to female spawners, exceeded replacement in all four coho salmon cohorts but only two of five Chinook salmon cohorts, leading to more rapid population expansion of coho salmon. However, estimates of fishing mortality and recruitment into the Cedar River below the dam substantially increased Chinook salmon productivity estimates. Our results demonstrate that Pacific salmon are capable of rapidly recolonizing habitat made accessible by restoration and emphasize the importance of demographic exchange with preexisting populations during the transition from recolonization to self-sustainability.Résumé : Après la construction d'une passe à poissons au barrage de dérivation de Landsburg, sur la rivière Cedar (Washington, États-Unis), à l'automne 2003, nous avons utilisé l'ascendance basée sur l'ADN pour distinguer les saumons quinnats (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) et coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) de deuxième génération constituant des recrues produites en amont du barrage des individus « égarés » produits ailleurs qui s'étaient dispersés dans ce nouvel habitat. Pour les deux espèces, si les égarés ont immédiatement colonisé l'habitat, la proportion de la montaison totale qu'ils représentaient a diminué avec le temps. Les saumons quinnats égarés étaient plus nombreux les années où l'espèce était plus abondante en aval du barrage et comptaient une proportion beaucoup plus grande de saumons issus d'écloseries que les saumons cohos. La productivité, calculée comme étant le rapport du nombre de recrues femelles échantillonnées au barrage et du nombre de génitrices, dépassait le niveau de remplacement dans les quatre cohortes de saumons cohos, mais dans seulement deux cohortes de saumons quinnats sur cinq, entraînant une expansion plus rapide de la population de saumons cohos. Toutefois, les estimations de la mortalité par pêche et du recrutement dans la rivière Cedar en aval du barrage ont sensiblement accru les estimations de la productivité des saumons quinnats. Nos résultats démontrent que les saumons du Pacifique sont capables de recoloniser rapidement un habitat rendu accessible par la restauration et soulignent l'importance de l'échange démographique avec des populations préexistantes durant la transition d'une situation de recolonisation à une situation d'autosuffisance.

“…1). At some dams, the installation of fish-passage facilities has alleviated, to varying degrees, the effects of dams on movement and associated upstream biodiversity of stream salmonids (Pess et al 2014). However, passage facilities do not address the effect of dams on flow, temperature, and the downstream transport of sediment and organic matter.…”

Aquatic biodiversity in forests: a weak link in ecosystem services resilience

et al. 2016

The diversity of aquatic ecosystems is being quickly reduced on many continents, warranting a closer examination of the consequences for ecological integrity and ecosystem services. Here we describe intermediate and final ecosystem services derived from aquatic biodiversity in forests. We include a summary of the factors framing the assembly of aquatic biodiversity in forests in natural systems and how they change with a variety of natural disturbances and human-derived stressors. We consider forested aquatic ecosystems as a multi-state portfolio, with diverse assemblages and life-history strategies occurring at local scales as a consequence of a mosaic of habitat conditions and past disturbances and stressors. Maintaining this multi-state portfolio of assemblages requires a broad perspective of ecosystem structure, various functions, services, and management implications relative to contemporary stressors. Because aquatic biodiversity provides multiple ecosystem services to forests, activities that compromise aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity could be an issue for maintaining forest ecosystem integrity. We illustrate these concepts with examples of aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem services in forests of northwestern North America, also known as Northeast Pacific Rim.

“…In this special issue, there are papers focused on linking the biology of salmon to a variety of conservation actions and tools. Pess et al (2014) provide intensive documentation and explanations of the conservation benefits of removing fish passage barriers as they relate to Atlantic and Pacific salmon life history types. Trumbo et al (2014) provide recommendations on ways to enhance smolt survival at hydropower passage facilities.…”
