Description    


This project supplemented an existing project to expand the number and scope of samples being collected. We plan to used eDNA and concurrent snorkel surveys collect presence, range, life-stage and abundance data for SONCC and other salmonid species. Surveys for Coho Salmon were conducted on six tributaries to the Trinity River on the Hoopa Valley Reservation: Campbell, Hostler, Mill, Soctish, Supply, and Tish Tang creeks. Sampling was two-pronged, with environmental DNA (eDNA) collections were used to assess presence and range extent, while with snorkel surveys were used to assess abundance and life stage. Collections of eDNA will occurred monthly with snorkel surveys running concurrently in all months when flows allowed.

Project Benefit    


Project Benefit: SONCC in the lower Trinity River are identified in the Recovery Plan as being at high risk of extinction. Prioritization and assessment of success for restoration efforts in tributary habitats is therefore of great importance for the recovery of both natal and non-natal SONCC. Endangered species are difficult to detect in the field using traditional sampling measures. So, eDNA sampling is appealing as a means to define presence and range for SONCC. These data, combined with life-stage and abundance data from snorkel surveys will help determine restoration effectiveness in Mill and Supply creeks and will test the following hypotheses: 1) Coho salmon primarily use tributary streams as thermal refugia, 2) upstream migration is blocked by diversions in Campbell and Hostler creeks. The answers to these questions will allow for the prioritization of restoration efforts on reservation creeks, which provide year-round flows of cool water into the Trinity River.
