Buckwalter Address: ADF&G Division of Sport Fish; 333 Raspberry Rd; Anchorage, AK 99518 Telephone number: 907-267-2345 E-mail address: joseph.buckwalter@alaska.gov Date prepared: November 22, 2011 This synopsis provides preliminary results of our August, 2011 fish inventory in the Upper Susitna River Subbasin (Hydrologic Unit Code 19020501), which comprises the portion of the Susitna River basin upstream of Talkeetna–See Figure 1. An ADF&G Fishery Data Series (FDS) report describing this project in detail will be prepared early in 2012. Background Goal 6 of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of Sport Fish’s (DSF) Strategic Plan is to “Conserve habitat to sustain recreational fisheries resources”. In the ADF&G-DSF’s Alaska Freshwater Fish Inventory (AFFI) program, one way we contribute to this goal is by conducting inventories to expand the coverage of the Anadromous Waters Catalog (AWC) and AFFI database (AFFID, which also includes nonanadromous species). Since 2002, we have conducted annual regional-scale, watershed-based fish inventory projects in selected areas of Southcentral, Southwestern, Interior, Western, and Northwestern Alaska. In August 2003, we conducted a reconnaissance inventory in the Upper Susitna River Subbasin, visiting 19 reaches, all upstream of Devils Canyon. Sampling with a backpack electrofisher with access by helicopter, we found juvenile Chinook salmon at 4 reaches in Susitna River tributaries, including 1 reach at Fog Creek (AFFI Station ID FSS0305A01—AWC nom # 04-024), 2 reaches at Kosina Creek (Station IDs FSS0306A01 and FSS0307A06—AWC nom # 04-066), and 1 reach at the Oshetna River (Station ID FSS0306A05—AWC nom # 04-067). During a 1-day aerial (helicopter) survey of selected upper Susitna River tributaries between Devils Canyon and Jay Creek on August 1, 2003, we also saw adult Chinook salmon in 2 streams, Fog Creek (Station ID FSS03USU01—AWC nom # 04-024) and Tsusena Creek (Station ID FSS03USU02—AWC nom # 04-025). In 2011, as part of a larger AFFI project comprising the Susitna, Matanuska, and Knik river basins (excluding conservation units), we returned to the Upper Susitna River Subbasin to complete a standard AFFI fish inventory. We also conducted a helicopter survey to locate Chinook salmon spawning aggregations upstream of Devils Canyon. Objectives Objective 1: To complete a baseline inventory, using standard AFFI protocols, of fish (with emphasis on anadromous fish) distribution in the Upper Susitna River Subbasin. Objective 2: To record characteristics, using standard AFFI protocols, of aquatic and riparian habitats at each fish-collection reach. Objective 3: To identify locations of spawning Chinook salmon aggregations in Upper Susitna River Subbasin tributaries upstream of Devils Canyon. 2 Methods From August 3–16, 2011, according to standard AFFI protocols (Buckwalter et al. 2010), three 2-person teams inventoried fish communities by single-pass electrofishing in 60 stream reaches throughout the entire Upper Susitna River Subbasin (Figure 1). At a single habitat transect in each reach, all teams measured a standard suite of aquatic and riparian habitat characteristics. Table 1 lists the variables recorded for each reach. Three sets of target streams were selected in advance based on watershed area. Streams upstream of obvious barrier falls (Figure 1) were excluded: • Mainstem rivers–rivers draining at least 1500 km2 (575 mi2). All 3 Mainstem rivers in the subbasin were sampled by boat electrofisher (Smith-Root GPP 2.5 generator-powered electrofisher mounted on a 13-ft inflatable cataraft), including the upper Susitna River mainstem (2 reaches sampled), Maclaren River (1 reach sampled), and Tyone River (1 reach sampled). • Intermediate streams–streams draining at least 200 km2 (77 mi2). 19 of the 22 Intermediate streams in the subbasin were sampled (1 reach each) by boat electrofisher (same electrofishing system as Mainstem rivers). The 3 remaining Intermediate streams (Tsisi Creek, Goose Creek, and an unnamed Maclaren River tributary) were not raftable, but all 3 had at least 1 Headwater reach that was sampled by backpack electrofisher in 2003 or 2011. • Headwater streams–streams draining at least 50 km2 (19 mi2). 37 of the 74 Headwater streams in the subbasin were sampled (1 reach each) by backpack electrofisher (Smith- Root LR-24). Since we could not sample all 74 of them, we left out some Headwater streams where: 1) relatively little stream length (e.g., < 5 km) would be added to the AWC; 2) we thought anadromous fish (especially Chinook salmon) were least likely to occur (e.g., high elevation, high gradient, or still or slow-flowing with muddy bottom); 3) a nearby Headwater stream was sampled and no anadromous fish found, or; 4) the helicopter pilot could not find a suitable place to land. On July 27 and 28, 2011, we conducted a 2-day helicopter survey looking for adult salmon in the upper Susitna River mainstem and lower reaches of selected tributaries upstream of Devils Canyon, including Fog Creek, Tsusena Creek, Watana Creek, Kosina Creek, Jay Creek, Windy Creek, Valdez Creek, Boulder Creek (north of Valdez Creek), Oshetna River, Little Oshetna River, Tyone Creek, Tyone River, Clearwater Creek, Little Clearwater Creek, West Fork Maclaren River, Maclaren River, and Boulder Creek (upper Maclaren river tributary). The helicopter survey was scheduled during the time when ADF&G typically conducts Chinook salmon aerial surveys in upper Susitna River tributaries downstream of Devils Canyon (S. S. Ivey, Sport Fish Area Management Biologist, ADF&G, personal communication June 16, 2011). Results Table 2 provides a list of all the fish species we found at electrofished reaches in the Upper Susitna River Subbasin in 2003 and 2011, along with the number of reaches where we found each species. Figure 1 is an overview map of the Upper Susitna River Subbasin showing reaches we electrofished in 2003 and 2011. Figures 2–15 are detail maps of the Upper Susitna River Subbasin showing reaches we electrofished in 2003 and 2011, with reach ID, species found, and AWC streams labeled. Station reports summarize the data we collected at each reach. Reach 3 locations, station reports, and photos will soon be posted on the AFFI online mapping application at http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=ffinventory.main. Results from the August 2003 inventory are already posted. We found anadromous fish (juvenile Chinook salmon) in 4 of the 60 electrofished reaches in the Upper Susitna River Subbasin, including: 1 reach in Fog Creek (Station ID FSS1104C01— AWC nom # 110582); 2 reaches in Portage Creek (Station IDs FSS1109C01—AWC nom # 110585 and FSS1111C04–AWC nom # 110587); and 1 reach in the mainstem Susitna River at Lane Creek, 16 miles upstream of Talkeetna (Station ID FSS1106D01—AWC nom # 110493). Only 1 (Fog Creek) of these 4 reaches was located upstream of Devils Canyon. During the helicopter survey on July 27, 2011, we also saw 1 adult Chinook salmon in Kosina Creek (Station ID FSS1101G04—AWC nom # 110485). We submitted AWC nominations for all 5 sites where we found Chinook salmon. We collected specimens of optionally-anadromous fishes a Recommendations , including humpback whitefish and Dolly Varden, from several reaches upstream of Devils Canyon. During the winter of 2011/2012, we will have otoliths from these specimens tested to detect periods of saltwater residency. If the otolith-chemistry tests provide evidence of saltwater migration, we will also nominate for inclusion in the AWC the streams where these specimens were found along with the downstream route to saltwater. Due to its proximity to the proposed Watana Dam site and impoundment, and due to the documented presence of Chinook salmon in other nearby tributaries, one of the Headwater target streams we missed should be considered a priority for future fish inventory work. This is the unnamed right-bank Susitna River tributary located between Watana Creek and Deadman Creek (mouth located at N 62.834, W 148.322; Seward Meridian, T32N, R06E, Section 27). The lower reaches of this stream should be sampled to check for the presence of Chinook salmon (particularly rearing juveniles). In this investigation, we did not select any target streams draining less than 50 km2 or lakes. Small streams and lakes, especially those draining directly to an AWC-listed stream, should be considered for future fish-inventory studies. Our investigations in 2003 and 2011 suggest a small Chinook salmon stock persists in the Upper Susitna River Subbasin upstream of Devils Canyon. While sampling a relatively small number of isolated reaches scattered throughout the Upper Susitna River Subbasin, we documented the occurrence of both juvenile and adult Chinook salmon upstream of Devils Canyon during both 2003 and 2011. A common assumption is that a few Chinook salmon may pass through Devils Canyon only in low-water years; however, in 2003, we found adult Chinook salmon in Fog and Tsusena creeks when Susitna River daily mean discharge at Gold Creek during July 2003 a All salmonids (salmon, trout, char, grayling, and whitefish) spawn in freshwater, and some spend their entire lives there. However, many migrate to sea to feed and mature and then return to freshwater to spawn. This life-history pattern is known as anadromy. Salmonid species and populations exhibit differing degrees of anadromy. Some species, such as pink, chum, and Chinook salmon, are generally considered to be obligatory-anadromous species. Others, such as trout, char, and whitefish species, are considered to be optionally-anadromous, meaning they may have nonanadromous populations or individuals. Therefore, before nominating optionally-anadromous species for listing in the AWC, evidence of anadromy is needed. 4 averaged 29,200 cfs, the highest July value reported during the past 10 years (2002–2011; USGS 2011). Very little is known about Upper Susitna Chinook salmon in terms of run size and interannual variability, locations of spawning, rearing, and over-wintering areas, and timing and duration of key life-history events (e.g., upriver migration and spawning, period of freshwater residency, smolt out-migration). Further investigation would be needed to obtain information on the status of this stock, beginning with an investigation of spawning run size and the distribution of spawning aggregations, preferably spanning several years.
