ABSTRACT

The English Bay Lakes (EBL) sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) enhancement project has

been operating for over twenty years and has been modified several times. This project consists

of an eggtake from the EBL system, the incubation and rearing of the resultant fry/smolts and

their release back to the EBL system, Port Graham Bay and Tutka Bay Lagoon. Cook Inlet

Aquaculture Association (CIAA) began assisting with the project in 2004, when eggs from the

EBL system were transferred to Trail Lakes Hatchery (TLH) for incubation and rearing. In

2010, the EBL sockeye enhancement project was formally transferred from the Port Graham

Hatchery to Trail Lakes Hatchery. In 2012, CIAA also took over the project to enumerate and

characterize the smolt and adult sockeye migrations. In 2013, CIAA was awarded an Alaska

Sustainable Salmon Fund grant (AKSSF 44717) for the smolt and adult migrations. All hatchery

activities (incubation, rearing, stocking and gamete collections) were funded solely using CIAA

monies.

In 2013, 211,000 sockeye salmon fall fry brood year 2012 (BY12) were released into Second

Lake (EBL system). At the time of release, the sockeye fall fry averaged 2.7 grams. All released

fry were of English Bay Lake origin and were the progeny from non-enhanced (wild) parents as

determined by otolith collection during the 2012 eggtake.

Smolt migration monitoring began on 08 May and continued daily until 05 July. During this

time, a total of 113,905 sockeye smolts were counted through the traps. In addition to the

sockeye salmon smolts, 10,877 coho salmon smolts (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 69,000 pink salmon

fry (Oncorhynchus gorbusha), 1,143 Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and 94 rainbow trout

(Oncorhynchus mykiss) migrated from the lake.

Based on otolith marks (n=557), 41.3% ( 3.9%) of the emigrating sockeye smolts were of

hatchery origin. An estimated 74.3% (± 3.7%) smolts were age 1 and 25.7% (± 3.7%) were age

2. The average length and weight of the age 1 sockeye smolt was 68 mm ( 0.7) and 2.5 g (

1.3) respectively. The age 2 sockeye smolt were 76 mm (± 3.8) and 4.1 g (± 0.6).

2

Adult migration monitoring began on 27 May and continued daily until 26 July. A total of

12,657 adult sockeye returned to English Bay Lakes in 2013. Based on otolith analysis (n=245),

the returning sockeye salmon were age 1.2 (9.0%), age 1.3 (57.6%), age 2.2 (13.9%) and age 2.3

(19.5%).

Between 05 September and 21 September, five separate eggtakes occurred. A total of 2,120,000

sockeye salmon eggs were collected and shipped to TLH where they were fertilized using a

delayed fertilization technique. Approximately 1,904,000 (89.8%) eggs survived to the eyed

stage. Only those eggs determined to be from non-enhanced parents will be reared to the fall fry

stage and released into English Bay Second Lake in October 2014. The remaining eggs will be

for stocking at Tutka Bay Lagoon (smolts) and Lower Cook Inlet lakes as spring fry.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

English Bay Lakes (EBL) is located on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula near the community of

Nanwalek, Alaska. The English Bay Lakes system is a chain of five small lakes with a total

surface area of approximately 200 hectares. The sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)

enhancement project has been operating for over twenty years and has been modified several

times. Currently this project consists of an eggtake from the EBL system, the incubation and

rearing of the resulting fry/smolt and their release back to the EBL system, Port Graham Bay and

Tutka Bay Lagoon. Starting in 2012, Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association (CIAA) took over the

operation to enumerate and characterize the smolt and adult migrations. In 2013, CIAA was

awarded an Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund grant (AKSSF 44717) for funding the smolt and

adult migration components. All hatchery activities (incubation, rearing, stocking and gamete

collection) were funded solely using CIAA monies.

PROJECT AREA

English Bay Lakes is located on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula near the community of Nanwalek,

Alaska (Figure 1). It is a system comprised of a chain of five small lakes with a total surface

area of approximately 200 hectares. Second and Third lakes are the two primary salmon

producers.

Figure 1. General location of English Bay Lakes System

6

Second Lake has a surface area of 0.70 x 106 m

2 (150 acres), a mean lake depth of 10.9 m, a

maximum depth of 25.9 m and a total volume of 7.6 x 106 m

3 (Figure 2). Third Lake, drains into

Second Lake, has a surface area of 0.72 m x 106

m2

(166 acres), a mean lake depth of 14.7 m, a

maximum depth of 29 m, and a total volume of 10.6 x 106 m

3 (Figure 3). The hydraulic

residence time is approximately 15 days for Second Lake and 35 days for Third Lake. Total

annual outflow of Second Lake is more than 20 times greater than its volume and for Third Lake

the outflow is nearly 10 times its volume (Edmundson et al. 1992).

METHODS

In general, English Bay Lake salmon egg take, hatchery incubation, fry rearing, smolt

enumeration and adult escapement monitoring follow procedures recommended by ADF&G.

Environmental Conditions

Daily observations completed at 5:00 P.M. throughout the summer field season, included percent

cloud cover, precipitation to the nearest millimeter, and stage height. Air and water temperature

were recorded every four hours using a Hobo data logger. All recordings in a 24 hour period

were averaged to provide a daily average air and water temperature.

Smolt Enumeration

To enumerate the smolt migration, two smolt traps were temporarily placed in English Bay River

approximately 0.29 miles downstream of First Lake. Each smolt trap consisted of a modified net

with nylon mesh leads and a double compartment live box. Each trap connected to each other

and covered the entire width of the river, so that all migrating smolts had to go through either

one of the traps (Figure 3).

For smolt enumeration, fish migrating downstream were directed by the net into a live box where

they were captured, temporarily held, identified to species, counted and released downstream.

Total counts of smolts migrating from the lake system were made until the migration of fish

exceeded 2,000 to 3,000 fish per hour. When this occurred, a 10% sub-sampling procedure was

used to enumerate the migrating smolts.

To enumerate migrating smolts with the 10% sub-sampling procedure, the counting period was

divided into 20 minute intervals. During each 20 minute interval, migrating fish were directed

into the live-box for two minutes and then counted. During the remaining 18 minutes, migrating

smolts were passed through the weir structure uncounted. The two-minute smolt count was

10

multiplied by 10 to estimate the number of smolts migrating during the twenty minute interval.

Figure 3. The English Bay Lakes smolt traps.

Assuming the two minute sub-sampling intervals were randomly distributed throughout sub-

sampling1

and smolt moved through the weir randomly, the total smolt migration was estimated

as follows:

If:

Tc = number of fish counted with the total count procedure,

Ts = number of fish counted with the 10% sub-sampling

procedure,

T = the total smolt migration,

y = the number of fish counted in each two minute sub-

sampling interval,

n = the number of two minute sub-sampling intervals sampled,

1 Predetermined randomly selected 2 minute sub-sampling intervals assured random distribution within each 20 minute period.

11

and

N = the number of possible two minute sub-sampling intervals,

Then:

T T Tc s

and the variance is,

v / /T N N n N y y n ns i 2 2

1

And:

C I. .95% for T v Ts s 2

The variance about the estimated smolt migration, T , is equal to the variance about Ts , because

Tc is a total count with 0 variance.

Smolt Characteristics and Enhanced Contribution

To evaluate the success of the enhancement project, staff collected a sample of sockeye smolts

migrating to determine age, weight, and length characteristics of the population as well as the

number of hatchery and naturally produced smolt. All fish released by CIAA have been

thermally marked2.

In 2013, the smolt collected for measurement, age determination, and otolith removal were

sampled in proportion to the daily smolt migration. This was accomplished by collecting every

200th

sockeye smolt that passed through the smolt trap. The numbering sequence began when

the first fish passed through the trap and continued consecutively until the smolt migration was

complete. Age, weight and length measurements were collected from 575 sockeye smolt (0.5%).

Each smolt collected for evaluation was first measured to the nearest millimeter for fork length3

and weighed to the nearest 0.1 gram. Otoliths were removed and placed in a labeled one dram

vial filled with a 10% ethanol solution. At the CIAA office, each otolith was checked for a

hatchery mark following procedures described by Glick and Shields (1993). Otoliths were also

used for aging.

Sockeye smolt characteristics, the proportion of enhanced sockeye smolt and the proportion of

age 1 and 2 sockeye smolt in the migrating population, were estimated with the following

notations and formulas provided by ADF&G.

If:

N total number of migrating smolts,

Nh number of smolts in stratum h, N Nh ,

n total number of smolts sampled,

nh number of smolts sampled in stratum h, n nh ,

a total number of enhanced smolts sampled,

ah number of enhanced smolts sampled in stratum h, a ah ,

p a nh h h / , The proportion of enhanced smolts in stratum h,

q ph h 1 , The proportion of wild smolts in stratum h,

chi number of age i smolts sampled in stratum h, c ci hi ,

l c nhi hi hi / , The proportion of age i smolts in stratum h,

m lhi hi 1 , The proportion of other than age i smolts in stratum h,

f n N / , The sampling fraction (assumed equal in all strata),

W N Nh h / , The stratum weight, and,

y the weight or length of the smolt.

Then the proportion of enhanced smolts, P , was estimated as:

/P a n ; with a variance of v P f n W p qh h h / 1 1 ;

which, under proportional allocation, is like the usual simple random sample estimate.

The total number of enhanced smolts, A , was also estimated as:

/ A N a n NP ;

13

with a variance of:

PvNqpWnfNAv hhhˆ/11ˆ 22 .

Since samples sizes were fairly large and P was not extreme, the normal approximation,

without a correction for continuity, could be used to develop the relative error. Thus, the

95% confidence interval estimate for P and A is:

. P v P196 and AvA ˆ96.1ˆ ;

and, the relative error is:

R E v P P. . . 196 100 and R E v A A. . . 196 100 .

The proportion of age i smolt in the smolt migration was also estimated as:

and, the total number of age i smolts was estimated as:

Confidence interval (95%) estimates for age-class proportion and abundance, assuming 2

age-classes, are:

Adult Escapement

To enumerate and collect adult sockeye salmon returning to the English Bay Lakes, a counting

weir was temporarily installed. The weir was constructed of 1.9 cm galvanized pipe and 7.6 cm

aluminum channel spaced 2.54 cm apart (Figure 4).

Figure 4. The English Bay Lakes adult weir.

Field personnel visually identified by species and counted the adult fish as they ascended English

Bay River. By removing one or two pickets, fish were permitted to pass through the weir.

Initially counts were made at least twice a day. As the number of adult fish passing through the

weir increased, counts were made more frequently.

15

In addition to the enumeration of the adult sockeye salmon escapement, the sex, age and standard

fork length of the returning population was also assessed by collecting a sample in proportion to

the daily migration. This was accomplished by collecting every 50th

adult sockeye that passed

through the weir. The numbering sequence began when the first fish passed through the weir

and continued consecutively until the adult migration was complete. The sex of each adult

sockeye salmon was visually determined and the standard fork length measured to the nearest

millimeter. For age and hatchery contribution, field personnel removed the otoliths and placed

them into labeled one dram vials filled with 10% ethanol solution. Each otolith was checked for

a hatchery mark and aged following procedures described by Glick and Shields (1993). All adult

sockeye salmon sacrificed for otolith collection were donated to the Nanwalek Village.

The proportion of enhanced adult sockeye were estimated using the following notations and

formulae.

If:

N = total number of migrating adults,

n = total number of migrating adults sampled,

a = total number of enhanced migrating adults,

p = the proportion of enhanced migrating adults.

Then the proportion of enhanced adults, P , was estimated as:

/P a n ; with a variance of 1/)/1)(/(ˆ nnanaPv

The total number of enhanced adults, A , was also estimated as:

/ A N a n NP ; with a variance of: 2ˆˆ NPvAv .

Thus the 95% confidence interval estimate for

AvA ˆ96.1ˆ

16

A total of 253 otoliths were collected of which 247 could be read.

Gamete Collection, Incubation and Rearing - Sockeye

Five eggtakes in total were completed. The first eggtake was directed to the back-stocking

program at Second Lake while the remaining four eggtakes were for other stocking programs in

the Lower Cook Inlet.

Male and female adult sockeye salmon from the spawning areas were killed and stripped of their

gametes. For the first eggtake in which resulting progeny would be used for back-stocking

Second Lake (non-enhanced fish), each contributing parent was numbered and the mating

crosses recorded. The gametes were shipped to TLH for fertilization, incubation and rearing. In

addition to removing the gametes, staff also collected the otoliths from both the male and female

parents.

At TLH, each mating cross was recorded and the fertilized eggs were placed into heath stacks

until they reach the eyed stage. Otoliths were ground, polished and read. Any hatchery crossed

pairings were removed from the EBL back-stocking program at the eyed stage and placed into

production for stocking at Tutka Bay Lagoon (smolt) or Lower Cook Inlet lakes as spring fry.

Only those crossings in which both parents were determined to be wild (non-enhanced), were

kept for back-stocking into Second Lake as fall fry.

All other eggtakes followed the same procedures except mating crosses were not tracked (bulk

incubation) and otoliths were not collected.

Fish Transport and Stocking

Approximately, 139,000 eggs from BY12 were excess to the back-stocking program or were

from enhanced fish and designated for the Tutka smolt program. For stocking, all fry were

transported by truck from TLH to Trail Lakes in oxygenated transport tanks where they were

17

transferred to oxygenated tanks located in a fixed wing aircraft. Fry were flown to Second Lake

where they were released. Smolts will be released at Tutka Bay Lagoon in the spring of 2014.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Environmental Conditions

The environmental conditions recorded in 2013 are presented in Appendix 1. Between 08 May

and 26 July, the average air temperature was 9.9oC (± 3.5

oC) while water temperature averaged

10.4oC (± 3.5

oC) (Table 1). Average stage height was 1.71 ft (± 0.66 ft).

Table 1. Environmental conditions observed at English Bay Lakes, 2013.

Smolt Enumeration - Sockeye

Enumeration of Bear Lake sockeye smolt occurred between 10 May and 05 July. A total of

113,905 sockeye smolt migrated from English Bay Lakes in 2013 (Appendix 2). The 10% sub-

sampling procedure was not used. In addition to the sockeye salmon smolt, 10,877 coho salmon

smolts (Oncorhynchus kisutch), 69,000 pink salmon fry (Oncorhynchus gorbusha), 1,143 Dolly

Varden (Salvelinus malma) and 94 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) migrated from the lake.

A total of 575 sockeye smolt otoliths were collected of which 557 were readable. Otolith samples

were collected from every 200th

sockeye smolt that went through the trap (0.5%). Of the

migrating smolts, 74.3% (± 3.7%) were age 1 and 25.7% (± 3.7%) were age 2. The age 1 smolts

averaged 68 mm ( 0.7 mm) in length and 2.5 g ( 1.3 g) in weight. The age 2 smolts averaged

76 mm (± 3.8 mm) in length and 4.1 g (± 0.55 g) in weight (Table 2). Based on the presence of

hatchery induced thermal marks in the otoliths of 557 smolt, it was estimated that 41.3% (

3.9%) of the sockeye smolt were of hatchery origin (Table 2).

Adult Escapement - Sockeye

Adult sockeye salmon began arriving at the weir on 27 May 2013 and continued to migrate until

26 July 2013 (Appendix 3). During this time, 12,657 adults were captured and counted at the

weir (Table 3). Otolith samples were collected from every 50th

fish that passed through the weir

(2%). A total of 253 otolith samples were collected of which 244 could be read. The returning

major age groups for adult sockeye included ages 1.2 (9.0%), 1.3 (57.6%), 2.2 (13.9%), 2.3 and

2.3 (19.5%).

A summary of mean age and length, by age class, for adult sockeye salmon escapement to

English Bay Lakes for 2013 is presented in Appendix 4.

Table 3. English Bay Lakes adult sockeye characteristics.

Based on the presence of thermal marks, it was estimated that 7.0% (± 4.3%) of the adults were

of hatchery origin. Furthermore, of the 889 fish which were determined to be of enhanced

origin, brood year contribution was determined to be as follows: BY07 = 17.7%; BY08 = 0.0%

and BY09 = 82.4%. Of the 11,768 fish which were determined to come from natural production,

Hatchery Activities

Stocking

In 2013, 211,000 sockeye fall fry (BY12; 2,4H) were released into English Bay Lake. These fish

will migrate in 2014/2015 as smolts. At the time of release, the sockeye fry averaged 2.7 g.

Eggtake

On 05 September, 2013, a total of 509,000 sockeye salmon eggs were collected. A total of 384

broodfish were used providing an average fecundity of 2,653 eggs/female. A total of 192 females

and 192 males were crossed at 1:1 ratio. All 384 broodfish were sampled for otoliths. Of the 384

otoliths, 1 fish (0.3%) was determined to have a thermal mark (enhanced fish) while the

remaining 383 (99.7%) did not. Once the eggs reached the eyed stage, those crosses which were

a) identified with a thermal mark, b) could not be read and c) age determination indicated that

they were jacks, were removed from the English Bay Lakes back-stocking group and moved into

general production (with the exception of the jacks which were culled) for stocking at either

Tutka Bay Lagoon (smolts) or Lower Cook Inlet lakes (spring fry).

Sockeye eggs were also collected on four other occasions for Tutka Bay Lagoon and Lower

Cook Inlet lakes stocking programs. An additional 1,611,000 eggs were collected. Including the

broodfish used for back-stocking a total of 1,753 adult salmon were used (includes broodstock,

mortalities and inviable). Overall average fecundity was 2,500 eggs/female. Overall survival to

the eyed stage was 89.8%.

Table 4 provides an overview of egg collection activities for enhancement at English Bay Lakes

since brood year 2007.

Fry-to-Smolt Survival

Migrating smolts in 2013 were stocked either as fry in 2011 (BY10 - Age 2) and 2012 (BY11 -

Age 1). Based on age classification from otoliths, the fry-to-smolt survival for each brood year of

fry stocking can be determined. Total smolt migration count (count plus fish sampled for otolith

and mortalities) was used to determine fry-to-smolt survival. While the fry stocked from BY09

are no longer part of the smolt migration, insufficient data in previous years (pre-2012) makes

the data set incomplete. Currently, BY10 is estimated at a 15.2% fry-to-smolt survival while

BY11 is at 16.4%. Both brood years are incomplete with additional smolts from these year

classes expected to migrate in 2014/2015. This information is summarized in Table 5.

Marine Survival

Based on information collected from migrating sockeye smolt and returning sockeye adults (total

return), it is possible to provide an estimate of the survival of hatchery fish in the marine

environment. BY09 is at 2.1% smolt-to-adult survival but this data set is incomplete due to

insufficient data for smolt migration. This information is summarize below in Table 6.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Monitoring of smolt and adult migration should continue thereby providing sufficient data to

determine the performance of both enhanced and naturally produced fish in the English Bay

Lakes system.

Based on the last two years of data (2012 - 2013), the size of the sockeye smolt at migration is

equal to or less than the size at stocking. This would seem to indicate that food source is a

limiting factor in salmon production or fish are not feeding during the winter months. Therefore,

it is important to ensure that the fall fry stocking into Second Lake are of the highest quality to

ensure their survival over the winter period.
