STREAMNET DATA STORE
The StreamNet Data Store is a searchable archive of data sets related to fish and other aquatic resources that are not of the specific data types included in the main StreamNet database. These data sets come from many different sources and are provided for download in their original formats. To add your own data set to the Data Store, use our Data Publishing Service.
StreamNet did not participate in creation of most of these data sets, and we are not able to answer questions about those we did not help develop. For questions about the data sets available from this page, please contact the originator of the particular data set.

Summary / Abstract
|
In 2004 USFWS requested that WDFW coordinate and conduct a reassessment of bull trout's ESA status within Washington state. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game provided a database application, 'BullMapper,' to utilize for the reassessment and assisted with the use of the application. A series of reviews were conducted for Washington state with biologists from state, federal, tribal, and educational institutions. The first step in the review was an attempt to define the historical range that was occupied by bull trout at the time of the first European exploration of the Pacific Northwest (circa 1800). This process was driven by the definition of naturally blocking fish passage barriers and expansion of biological knowledge and opinion of bull trout physiology and morphology. 7059 miles were defined as historically utilized by bull trout. It should be noted however, that no actual data are available from 1800 and that very few anecdotal accounts survive to the present time. It is probable that the true historic range extent was in fact significantly greater than the defined 7059 miles. Mapping of current presence was done by reviewing data collected by various agencies and assembled by WDFW for inclusion in its fish distribution and use database: Washington Lakes and Rivers Information System (WLRIS) and WDFW's Internet Mapping Server: SalmonScape http://wdfw.wa.gov/mapping/salmonscape/ . A total of 96 Conservation Populations within 27 Core Areas were identified and described within the 12 ESA Recovery Units. A total of 5870 miles were identified as currently occupied which for this assessment process included all areas where bull trout use has been observed/documented and also areas were use is presumed to occur based on biological opinion but were actual observations have not been confirmed. Most of these presumed areas represent migratory corridors connecting known observations, such as the Yakima and upper Columbia River. WDFW's WLRIS database indicates that bull trout are currently known to be present in 4685 miles of streams and are presumed to be present in an additional 1571 miles of streams. This total of 6256 miles of 'currently occupied' streams is greater than the Reassessment mileage number of 5870 due to the fact that the WLRIS database utilizes a 1:24,000 scale hydrography layer whereas the Reassessment uses a 1:100,000 scale hydrography. The finer scale 24,000 hydrography captures more stream sinuosity resulting in the increased mileages.

Data Collection Methods

First, the historical range that was occupied by bull trout at the time of the first European exploration of the Northern Rocky Mountains was estimated. Second, the current distribution, density and genetic status information for bull trout were developed and displayed on a mapping segment basis. Lastly conservation populations, either as isolated and meta-populations (networked or connected populations - e.g. interbreeding populations) were identified and population viability risk, genetic risk and disease risk assessments were made for each of these populations. Risk was assessed at three levels: 1) risk of genetic introgression, 2) risk associated with disease and 3) general population level risk. Risk assessments represent relative determinations indicating a higher or lower level of concern. The mapping and risk assessments were completed for all populations, including those associated with lakes (adfluvial), that are maintained by natural reproduction. The above data were compiled in the ArcView 3.2 BullMapper.apr and summarized in the MS Access BullCon1.mdb.
