The interpretation of mark-recapture data depends on a probabilistic model for the biological system. The assumptions of the general model must be verified against what is known about the particular system. This talk considers the application of markrecapture methods to the estimation of salmon smolt migrations from Babine Lake, British Columbia.

Expanding gull populations along the Columbia River have been implicated in depredations to threatened and endangered migrating salmon smolt. We tested a visual barrier made of woven black polypropylene fabric to discourage gull nesting. The barrier was installed on Upper Nelson Island, Benton County, Washington, in parallel rows spaced 5 m apart. Gulls used 87% of the 7.9 ha island as nesting habitat and we estimated >21 000 gull nests, 80% Ring-billed Gull Larus delawarensis and 20% California Gull L. califomicus nests. The zone with fencing had 84% fewer nests than the control zone. Silt fencing showed potential as a nonlethal bird management technique.

Annual run size and timing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolt migration was estimated using Bayesian model framework and data from 6 years of a video monitoring survey. The model has a modular structure. It separates subprocesses of departing, traveling, and observing, of which the first two together define the arrival distribution. The subprocesses utilize biological background and expert knowledge about the migratory behavior of smolts and about the probability to observe them from the video footage under varying environmental conditions. Daily mean temperature and discharge were used as environmental covariates. The model framework does not require assuming a simple distributional shape for the arrival dynamics and thus also allows for multimodal arrival distributions. Results indicate that 20%–43% of smolts passed the Utsjoki monitoring site unobserved during the years of study. Predictive studies were made to estimate daily run size in cases with missing counts either at the beginning or in the middle of the run, indicating good predictive performance.

The native striped bass (Morone saxatilis) population of the Miramichi River, New Brunswick is undergoing an unprecedented recovery while Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) numbers within that system continue to decline. Atlantic salmon smolt depart from the Miramichi system during the striped bass spawning period and it is hypothesized that elevated striped bass abundances will increase encounter rates and predation on smolts. We summarize all available striped bass diet studies occurring within the native range of Atlantic salmon and present a review of the feeding behavior and diet preferences of striped bass before, during, and after their spawning period. The key studies vary in methodologies and interpretability. We present a standardized approach for assessing striped bass predation threats and smolt vulnerability and thus an improved understanding of the species interactions to guide future management in the Miramichi River.
