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.

Purpose of Data Set
|
Our goal is to determine the natural reproductive success and mean relative fitness of hatchery-origin (HOR) and natural-origin (NOR) steelhead and assess the demographic effects of hatchery fish supplementation in Abernathy Creek relative to two adjacent control streams. The long-term contribution of stocked fish to recruitment of steelhead populations is unknown. Because stocking is only one of several management options for this species, it is critical to learn additional information about factors limiting hatchery production and natural recruitment processes. Information on the effect of rearing technique, size and physiological status of stocked fish, propensity of stocked fish to residualize, and genetic contribution is needed to optimize use of hatchery produced fish while simultaneously conserving wild stocks. We initiated our study by creating steelhead broodstock by captively rearing NOR juveniles to sexual maturity. Since 2003 we have released approximately 20,000 HOR steelhead smolts annually. Our results indicate that the timing of HOR and NOR smolts emigrating out of Abernathy has been similar and that populations among streams has remained relatively constant among years. However, emigrating HOR juvenile fish differ physiologically and morphologically compared to NOR fish and may be less prepared to emigrate into saltwater. As a result the number of residual HOR fish has
doubled since 2004. These residual HOR fish may negatively effect NOR fish via intraspecific competition. Since there is a high level of genetic variability in Abernathy steelhead and the broodstock created with these procedures have returned as adults and reproduced naturally, we will be able to determine reproductive success and demographic effects of hatchery fish supplementation in subsequent years.
