Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Conservation of Lake Sammamish Kokanee An Update on Current Science A Briefing for the City of Bellevue Planning Commission Hans Berge– King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks November 4, 2009

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Kokanee Science To Date: Spawning ground surveys (annually since 1996) Food web research within the lake ( ) Fry trapping on Lewis Creek (annually since 2007) Current: Supplementation (Fall 2009) Tagging study ( ) Future: Stream habitat assessment Project prioritization Release strategies Colonization in other spawning streams Effects of hatchery releases from Issaquah Creek

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Relative weight (Wr) used to measure condition Species specific values for cutthroat and kokanee (Hyatt and Hubert 2000) Cutthroat trout Wr was greater during stratification (t-test, p<0,002) Kokanee Wr was lower during stratification and the DO squeeze (t-test, p<0.001) Kokanee growth is reduced in the summer

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, % of the lake is 4 mg/L Optimal habitat is reduced by temp-DO squeeze

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Important Habitats Streams (spawning and incubation) –Lewis –Vasa Shoreline of Lake Sammamish (early rearing, upstream migration) –Deltas Early rearing of fry Predation Lake Sammamish (rearing and maturation) –Water Quality Phosphorous Nitrogen

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Lewis Creek Example High flows –Bed stability/mobility –Infrastructure risk Floodplain connectivity –Flood refuge –Pool formation –Energy dissipation Kokanee redd

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Upper Lewis Creek (above I-90) Erosion, high flows, good riparian condition

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Lower Lewis Creek (below I-90)

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Acoustic Telemetry Project Project Goals: – Understand seasonal movement of kokanee in Lake Sammamish –Monitor spatial and temporal overlap of limnetic predators and prey –Investigate the effects of thermal stratification, zooplankton density, and diel period on movement of kokanee

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Hydrophone Deployment

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Limnology Limnological Measurements –Temperature, DO –Light and turbidity –Secchi Depth –Monthly zooplankton Monitoring Buoys (Temp, DO) SCAMP (Temp and Light) Secchi (transparency)) Clarke-Bumpus zooplankton sampler

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Fish Collection TU anglers helped catch fish Careful handling Transferred to livewell

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Acoustic Tagging Boat Processing Table Anesthetic Length and Weight Tag inserted Sutures to close incision Recovery in insulated tank and released

Bellevue Planning Commission November 4, Results to Date Analysis in progress… 35 tagged fish Downloaded data every other month beginning in August Have heard from 33 fish Detections at all 4 stations near Bellevue shoreline (and all but one other station) Kokanee adults found in littoral and limnetic zone of Lake Sammamish
