KOOTENAI RIVER RESIDENT FISH MITIGATION Idaho Department of Fish and Game: 1988-065-00

Project Overview Project responding to changes from Libby Dam Comprised of multiple studies on white sturgeon, burbot, and native salmonids Cooperative fishery evaluation of 1988-064-00; 1994-04-900; and 2002-002-00 Goal: Restore these fish populations to the Kootenai River

Project Objectives Restore natural recruitment of white sturgeon Restore natural recruitment of burbot Increase resident salmonid densities

Kootenai River White Sturgeon 3 9 6 12+ River depth (m) at 8,500 m/s ALLUVIAL SAND AND SILT COBBLE, GRAVEL, AND SAND Problem: Temperature, discharge, and other physiochemical changes resulting from the operation of Libby Dam are not adequate for sturgeon recruitment.

Proposed work Expand sampling above Bonners Ferry Telemetry of large juveniles above Bonners Ferry Analyze movements in relation to habitat improvements. Effects of nutrients on growth. Egg mat sampling above Bonners Ferry Determine effects of substrate additions to the Meander Reach Free Embryo Releases Aid Libby Operations

Burbot Problem: Temperature and discharge resulting from the operation of Libby Dam are not adequate for burbot spawning.

Burbot Accomplishments Confirmed success of hatchery releases Burbot extensive rearing implemented Identification of variation in mitochondrial DNA Burbot flow SOR was recommended Stocking criteria identified Burbot population targets identified

Proposed work Evaluate natural production. Evaluate release sites on survival. Habitat selection of juvenile burbot. Extensive rearing ponds Correlate optimal flow regime conducive to spawning. Aid ACOE in Libby Operations.

Native Salmonids Problem: Libby dam traps macro nutrients resulting in low fish production in the lower Kootenai River. Spawning and overwintering habitat seems to additionally limit rainbow trout recruitment.

Nutrient Addition cooperative management with KTOI of nutrient addition site sample fish metrics at established monitoring locations

Native Salmonids Accomplishments Six full years of nutrient additions

Native Salmonids Accomplishments

Proposed work Continue cooperative nutrient additions. Continue fishery evaluation at trend locations. Address limiting factors of growth and density with rainbow trout Otolith microchemistry Overwintering habitat limitations Determine success of rearing strategy Habitat improvements to increase spawning.
