High Incidence

In a 7-yr study, the most common parasites of kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) introduced to Lake Huron were the acanthocephalans Metechinorhynchus salmonis (in 61% of 228 adult fish examined) and Acanthocephalus jacksoni (15%) and the nematode Cystidicola stigmatura (41%). These also occurred in fish species netted along with kokanee, but many common parasites of other salmonids in Lake Huron were not harbored by kokanee. In addition to evidence of attack by sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), 18 species of parasites were found, 13 of which had not been previously recorded for kokanee in the Pacific drainages of North America. The high incidence of M. salmonis and C. stigmatura indicates that amphipods are commonly ingested by kokanee.

First Time

Seven hundred and fifteen adult sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus von Linné) from four streams tributary to Lake Huron and five offshore samples from the Manitoulin Island – Bruce Peninsula area, were examined for parasites.Dissection and microscopic examination revealed the presence of eight parasite species. Cucullanus stelmioides Vessichelli, 1910 is recorded for the first time both as a parasite of P. marinus and from North American waters. Ergasilus caeruleus Wilson, 1911, Anodontoides ferussacianus Lea. 1834, Diplostomum huronense (La Rue 1927), Plagioporus lepomis Dobrovolny, 1939 are all recorded for the first time as parasites of P. marinus. Echinorhynchus salmonis Müller, 1784, Triaenophorus crassus Forel, 1868, and Proteocephalus sp. are redescribed as parasites of the sea lamprey.

Adult Fish

Adult fish moved into Bothwell's Creek, Lake Huron, between October 29 and May 3. Run A (October 29–February 15) was composed of 640 fish, run B (February 16–May 3) of 610 fish. Run A spawned between December 29 and February 14 and left the river. Run B spawned between February 20 and April 30. Total lengths of males ranged from 31 to 80 cm, females from 21 to 90 cm. Fourteen categories of life history were identified within the population of which 99% had become smolts after 2 years of stream life. Fish of age 5 were dominant. Differences in age class structure and size of fish occurred between runs A and B. Sea lamprey scars were evident on 8.6% of fish, all over 46 cm in total length.

One hundred and eight new chromosome counts are reported for the Solidago spathulata–glutinosa complex: 49 diploids (2n = 18) and 59 tetraploids (2n = 36). Only diploids are known in S. spathulata, which occurs along the Pacific coast from southern California to northern Oregon. Diploids, tetraploids, and one hexaploid are known in S. glutinosa, which occurs across North America. Solidago glutinosa ssp. glutinosa is composed of diploids only and is widespread in the Rocky Mountains from Mexico to Alaska and across the Canadian prairies. It also occurs disjunctly on the northern shores of Lake Superior and Lake Huron and farther east on the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec. Solidago glutinosa ssp. glutinosa var. chlorolepis was found to be diploid (first report). Tetraploids of S. glutinosa ssp. randii were found in scattered locations in northeastern North America and around most of the upper Great Lakes, where they occur sympatrically with diploid populations of ssp. glutinosa. A single hexaploid population of ssp. randii was reported previously from West Virginia; no hexaploids were encountered in this study.

Principal Species

An experimental introduction of kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) into Lake Huron from egg stocks obtained from British Columbia and several western states of the United States began in 1964. From 1964 to 1969, about 5.5 million kokanee (eggs, fry, and fingerlings) were planted. Estimated minimum returns of adults were 9000, 1200, and 4000 in 1967, 1968, and 1969, respectively. Although most of the returns were recorded near planting sites, substantial numbers moved into other areas, in some instances spawning in streams that were not planted. Apparently, most kokanee matured in their 3rd year of life (2+) and their lengths ranged from 18 to 49 cm.The incidence of lamprey marks on adults was light (1.6% of 4472 examined) but frequencies of marks tended to increase as fish size increased — from 0.5% for 28–32 cm fish to 16.7% for fish over 40 cm long.Successful stream spawning in 1967 was indicated by the retrieval of live eggs and alevins from redds and the capture of downstream migrant fry. Shore spawning was verified by retrieval of viable eggs from redds in 1969. The potential egg deposition in the two rivers with the largest runs in 1967 was approximately 2.7 million eggs. Fish from British Columbia river-spawning stock spawned both in streams and along shores of South Bay. Since spawning was not restricted to streams, the shore areas of Lake Huron may extend the spawning habitat available to kokanee.Adult kokanee fed mainly on insects and plankton during August and September. Aerial forms of insects predominated in South Bay kokanee. Dieldrin and DDT residues were moderate, averaging between 0.012 and 0.046 ppm for dieldrin and 0.226 and 1.242 ppm for DDT in whole tissue samples.Data from South Bay show that the principal species found in association with kokanee were alewife and smelt. The diet of alewife in August indicated possible competition with kokanee.
