Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake 1.What is Mysis Shrimp? 2.The “Introduction” 3.The “Problem” 4.The “Fix” 5.The “Take away” 6.Questions?

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake What is Mysis Shrimp? Mysis diluviana Small transparent shrimp-like crustacean Max size 25mm (1”) Lives in deep water during the day Feeds on zooplankton at night (near the surface) Source:

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The “Introduction” How did mysis shrimp get introduced to Okanagan Lake? Deliberately introduced by fishery biologists Why were mysis shrimp introduced to Okanagan Lake? To provide additional food for rainbow trout and Kokanee When did this introduction take place? In 1966

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Problem So a few shrimp were put into Okanagan lake in 1966 what’s the big problem? By early 2000’s Mysis biomass population reached 6,000 metric tonnes in Okanagan Lake!

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Problem So a few shrimp were put into Okanagan lake in 1966 what’s the big problem? Depth of Okanagan Lake – Mysis and Kokanee are at different levels of the lake Mysis need to eat too! – Mysis are competing with Kokanee for zooplankton

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Problem

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery Okanagan Lake Action Plan Experimental Mysis fishery Goal is to reduce mysis biomass numbers in an effort to improve lake-rearing conditions for kokanee

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery How does one harvest these small mysis shrimp Small shrimp need small mesh trawl nets How do we ensure the mitigation of bycatch?

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery Piscine Energetics Inc. The development of an apparatus for separating target and non-target species harvested from water bodies tY tY

Apparatus for separating target and non-target species harvested from water bodies. Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery

Apparatus for separating target and non-target species harvested from water bodies.

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery Piscine Energetics patented harvesting systems ensures all mysis are alive on harvest and any by catch is return to the lake alive!

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery

What do we do with the shrimp? Feed it to fish of course! Developed and brought to market a sustainable aquarium food for zoological institutions, public aquarium and aquarium hobbyists.

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Fix – Mysis Fishery – Future plans Continue to increase annual biomass removal in Okanagan Lake. Mysis have migrated to other lakes in the region. Investigate removal from other lakes – Skaha Lake Mysis Test Fishery Collaboration with ONA fisheries department

Mysis Shrimp Fishery On Okanagan Lake The Take Away 1.Mysis Fishery is a tool for Kokanee recovery Mysis shrimp are competing with Kokanee for the same food source. As more mysis are removed from the lake(s), more zooplankton will become available for fish. 2. DO NOT MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE! 3. Pay attention to invasive species!
