activities in the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta, California.
This project examines predation by
introduced fishes and native resident
fishes on migrating native fishes across
a variety of habitats and migration
corridors in the northern SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta. Results provide
information on spatial and
environmental patterns of predation;
critical information for guiding future
restoration projects on conditions likely
to support or discourage higher
predation rates on endangered and
native fishes. Sampling is conducted
April, June and December in the
Sacramento River above Rio Vista,
Georgiana, Steamboat, Miner, and Cache
sloughs, and the Sacramento Deep
Water Ship Channel. Predators are
sampled using trammel nets, with the
goal of genetically analyzing gut
contents for the DNA of various prey
items. While listed species are not the
target of the sampling program,
incidental take may occur and will
provide valuable information on
abundance, habitat use, and migration
timing.
CDWR is requesting a modification of
Permit 16543. The proposed changes
include; an additional monitoring site at
Liberty Island in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta and an increase in
juvenile, sub-adult, and adult SDPS
green sturgeon take across all locations.
Incidental mortality estimates will
remain at zero.
The monitoring carried out under
Permit 16543 represents the initial field
effort for a brand new project. The take
estimates for SDPS green sturgeon for
Permit 16543 was purely an estimate
based on the expectation that SDPS
green sturgeon densities are very low in
the region. However, preliminary
monitoring attempts by CDWR were met
with higher than anticipated catches of
SDPS green sturgeon. Given the paucity
of information on the location and
behavior of SDPS green sturgeon in the
Delta, continued sampling will provide
new data on the movements and
locations of SDPS green sturgeon and
further assist NMFS and other agencies
in their management of this species.
