Daily fish fact #268

Sockeye salmon!

This species of salmon has bluegrey colouration while living in the ocean, but their body turns red when migrating upstream into their home rivers!

For real, it's quite drastic. Here's a mature sockeye salmon compared to a migrating mature sockeye salmon:

Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Also known as: Red, Blueback (salmon)

We’re onto the last two salmon illustrations! These are smaller species - with this being perhaps the most archetypical of the Pacific salmon. Sockeyes combine brilliant red and fierce green, making them unmistakable. Some very fine speckles may be present on the tail but nothing more. Uniquely, Sockeye require a lake for part of their life cycle: after hatching in a river they search for a lake to spend the next 1-4 years in. If no lake is present, they will head straight to sea. At sea a deep green hue may already show on the head, as well as a blue tinge to the back, earning them their nickname ‘blueback’. Any silver on the tail is lacking. As said they are a relatively small species; maximum size is 33 inch (84 cm) and 17 lbs (8 kg), but 18-26 inch (45-65 cm) and 4-8 lbs (2-3.6 kg) is normal.

They'll Be Dammed

Water systems are the only means of transportation for aquatic animals. The Saint John River (Wolastoq) is the main ‘aquatic highway’ in New Brunswick spanning from the northern areas of the province to the Bay of Fundy. Atlantic Salmon migrate along this main waterway to feed, grow and spawn in several branches of rivers and streams. With their lifecycle requiring both freshwater and marine environments, salmon migration acts like a boomerang, leaving the freshwater habitat to enter the ocean and traveling back to the freshwater source they originated from. This is only possible if the fish can successfully pass through the Saint John River’s biggest barriers: dams.

Atlantic Salmon rely on directional cues from flowing water as part of the transition between the salt water and freshwater stages of their life. This species is born in freshwater rivers and stream, and after several years of growth and biological changes they develop into smolts where they acquire the impulse to travel to the ocean where they can feed and develop. Once they mature into adults, they then travel back to their original freshwater source to spawn but there is only a short window of time for this migration. If delays occur within these transition windows, there is an increased risk of predation, decline of their reserved energy, disorientation due to changes in water conditions. These impacts can often result in higher chance of harm or death to the migrant fish.

In 1968, the Mactaquac Generating Station (MGS) began fully functioning as the largest energy producing dam on the Saint John River system. This dam was designed with a system that allowed for upstream fish passage, where fish are collected, separated, and counted. The only downstream passage is through controlled releases of reservoir water (spillways) or by passing through the hydraulic propellers (turbines). Currently, the MSG upstream passage mainly facilitates the movement of Atlantic Salmon, Alewife and Blueback Herring.

When adult Atlantic Salmon swim upstream to spawn and reach the MGS, pumps are used to create a flow that attracts the fish into collection chambers. These chambers have a series of mobile bottoms that move fish into a sorting facility, with one special tank designed to attract salmon. The salmon, as well as any other species that may have snuck into the tank, are loaded onto a water tanker truck, and moved to a nearby secondary sorting facility as the Mactaquac Biodiversity Facility (MBF). Here, the salmon are released into a new tank, where workers must handle them to collect important data to assess the population before they are placed into the truck once again to be transported and released above the dam in multiple undisclosed locations along the river. Although this system is elaborate, risks are still present.

When Atlantic Salmon reach such large barriers, such as dam, and are unable to complete their very important task of moving upstream to spawn, it may seem like they’ve reached a point of no return to their original freshwater source. The system and timing of upstream passage is completely left in the hands of humans, leading to stress and exhaustion while in search of a quicker route upstream as well as crowding in the collection chambers. Even small variations in water condition such as water flow, temperature, or dissolved oxygen, can also be fatal if the fish are not supplied with a period to adjust, otherwise known as acclimation. In 1968, about 200 adult salmon being held below the dam for upstream passage died of gas bubble disease due to an overabundance of gases as air was forced through the turbines and into the water. Nitrogen and oxygen were trapped in the turbines during a period of low generation creating pressure in a process known as cavitation, and when the water was released, the fish below were exposed to the high gas levels. As salmon are transported and released, it’s important that water temperature and gas levels must be controlled, or the entire population exposed will die. Monitoring during transport can be done with the use of compressed oxygen and a multi-sensor device that is placed in the tank and supervised from within the vehicle. After their battle with short-term captivity, extensive handling, and transportation, we can only hope that the stress endured from their upstream passage will not affect their mating success when released.

The downstream passage of post-spawning adults and young salmon smolt can occur by soaring down the spillway gates, which are only operational during peak water levels, or passing through the turbines. Either options could result in injury, disorientation, or death - talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they can successfully reach the foot of the dam, they must be able to avoid predatory species, such as bass and birds that have learned to gather at common discharge points with a greater chance of capturing harmed or stunned Salmon. A study done by MacEachern at a nearby and similar dam concluded that smolts had a 23.7% of morality by passing through the turbines, not accounting for predation. Research conducted in rivers connected to the Baltic Sea indicates the mortality percentage to be about 6 times greater compared to undammed rivers. The lucky number of smolts that survived the daring escape from above the dam can now move to the ocean, to hopefully return as mature adults and challenge the dam once again to breed.

By 2030, the Mactaquac Generating Station was estimated reach the end of its life, therefore it needed to be decided whether to remove or update the existing structure. It was concluded that the dams life would be extended until 2068 with updates to the existing structure. With this decision, efforts should be made to create less invasive passages for migrating Atlantic Salmon. The current methods alter the natural river flow, increase predation, and often result in stress, injury and mortality thereby lowering the overall success of an already endangered species.

Fish passage is an issue across the globe, therefore new innovations are being created and studied. The Bonneville Dam in Washington is currently testing a new fish passage technology by Whooshh Innovations, which is a free-swimming system that can sort, count , photograph and move fish above barriers. This system would allow for less migratory delay, removal of invasive species and lessen the stress of handling. This system is one of many different fish passage technologies that could be explored in our area.

The current efforts to help the declining salmon population involve exposing the species to stress, and we need to decide how much harm we are doing while trying to help. When it comes to the weakened population of Atlantic Salmon returning to the Saint John River system to spawn, the species is dammed if they do, and damned if they don’t.

Excerpt from this story from National Geographic:

There are now 60 to 100 alewife runs throughout the state, Whitener says, and the numbers keep going up as more dams are removed, enabling the return of not only alewives but also other migratory fish: salmon, shad, sturgeon, blueback herring, striped bass, eels. He rattles off some statistics: The Kennebec alewife run, no longer stoppered by the Edwards Dam, is estimated at about five million. The Penobscot, reopened by the taking down of Great Works and Veazie Dams in 2012 and 2013 respectively, now has two to three million alewives swimming upriver.

Whitener has a particular affection for alewives. Unlike their close cousins Atlantic herring, which spend their entire lives in the ocean, alewives traverse the ecosystems of the land—they’re anadromous, spawning in fresh water and living their adult lives in the sea. This “biomass across the state—15 million fish or so that come inshore into rivers and into ponds—just moves so much energy and so many nutrients into the freshwater system,” Whitener explains. “Absolutely everything eats them.”

Indeed, it’s a long list of creatures that eat alewives in both fresh and salt waters, among them seals, whales, eagles, osprey, herons, mink, skunks, raccoons, otters, black bears, and other kinds of fish—not to mention insects and crayfish and the microorganisms that consume and process what’s left.

Excessive dandruff and itchy? The nutritionist revealed the "5 major hair problems" to eat like this!

Tie hair or excessive pulling will increase hair loss, which should be avoided as much as possible;

In addition to showing personal characteristics through different hairstyles, hair can also protect the head and keep warm. But it may also bring some troublesome problems, such as dandruff and itchy scalp. Nutritionists make corresponding dietary recommendations for different problems, calling on people to maintain their hair health as soon as possible, so as to help delay the occurrence of other problems such as hair loss or gray hair.

The dietary recommendations for different hair problems are as follows: Hair loss, thinning hair Women during menstruation often suffer from anemia, which prevents hair follicles from getting enough oxygen and nutrients, causing hair loss.

You can eat blood-enriching foods in your diet, such as pig blood soup and clam soup. However, if the anemia is too serious, you still need to seek medical treatment with iron.

In addition, studies on women with hair loss have also found that the vitamin D content in the blood is lower than that in women with healthy hair. Rickets with severe vitamin D deficiency will also show signs of hair loss. Therefore, it is recommended to get sun exposure at least 3 to 3 times a week. 4 times, 15 minutes of sunlight each time, help produce vitamin D. However, tying or over-tugging will increase hair loss and should be avoided as much as possible.

Hair growth is slow and dull 65% to 95% of the ingredients in hair are protein, most of which are keratin. However, lack of protein intake and insufficient raw materials will result in slower growth. For hair to be shiny, it also needs the presence of thiamine-containing acids. Eggs are a very diverse food. You can eat high-quality protein (including thiamine-containing acid) and also B vitamins that help growth.

So it is recommended to eat one fully cooked egg every day. But be careful to avoid eating raw eggs, because there are anti-biotin ingredients in raw eggs, and the lack of biotin can also affect hair growth.

White hair When the melanocytes in the hair follicles age or are injured, resulting in insufficient melanin secretion, white hair will grow. So the best way to prevent gray hair is to protect melanocytes. In the diet, you can supplement vitamin C by eating two fist-sized fruits every day, improve antioxidant capacity and reduce free radicals to attack melanocytes.

It is also very important to do a good job of sun protection on the scalp. Ultraviolet rays can cause damage to melanocytes. If the sun is big or you need to stay outdoors for a long time, it is recommended to wear a hat to protect the scalp. Several dietary habits should also be avoided, such as excessive salt intake, eating delicate sweets, and more caffeine. These habits will also increase the stimulation of sympathetic nerves, and the excessive activation of sympathetic nerves can also lead to premature depletion of melanocytes. This situation can also happen when the pressure is high, so proper pressure relief is also very important to reduce gray hair.

Dandruff, itchy scalp Inflammation or excessive dryness of the scalp will increase the generation of dandruff. In addition to choosing the right shampoo products! It is recommended to pay attention to the intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. You can eat blueback fish at least twice a week, like Those who are salmon, mackerel, saury or vegetarians can take flaxseed and chia seed supplements to help fight inflammation and maintain a healthy scalp. But eat less fried food, because the inferior oil in fried food is a substance that promotes inflammation.

Fragile hair breaks easily Those who lose weight excessively or eat only a single food will not grow strong hair due to unbalanced nutrition. In addition, if there are frequent diarrhea problems or the elderly don’t eat enough or absorb poorly, there may also be zinc deficiency, which affects the normal division of cells, and the hair that grows will be weaker. Therefore, it is recommended to supplement pumpkin seeds or It's an oyster.

Wild Caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon: A Gem Of The Ocean

The salmon was the primary food source of Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest coast for thousands of years. They are highly respected animals and there are many stories about their origins. Some native peoples believe that the salmon are immortal humans who live deep under the ocean. They would disguise themselves as fish to offer nourishment to the mortal humans living on the land. After eating the salmon the people would place the whole skeleton back into the water so that it would be born once more into an immortal salmon person. The salmon is known as a symbol of abundance, fertility, prosperity and renewal .. https://bit.ly/2SQVw0J

8: “Herring”

(8) According to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, two species of herring are generally referred to as “river herring”: the alewife and the blueback. They make their way from the sea up through Massachusetts rivers, where they were born, to spawn. Like the populations of salmon in the Salish Sea and Puget Sound area of Washington, Massachusetts river herring have declined over the years. Dams and other blockages, water being withdrawn for human and agricultural use, poor water quality, and over-harvesting have negatively impacted river herring. As with most troubling inequities, paying attention to governmental actions at the local (and higher) levels can help mitigate these impacts.

Fish fact #655

Sockeye salmon!

They feed mainly on zooplankton via the help of their long, filter-like gill rakers! Other names for them include red or blueback salmon — red salmon references their red spawning colours, and blueback refers to their blueish silvery colour while in the ocean.

Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), also known as red salmon, kokanee salmon, or blueback salmon, is an anadromous species of salmon found in the Northern Pacific Ocean and rivers discharging into it. This species is a Pacific salmon that is primarily red in hue during spawning and growing up to 84 cm (2 ft 9 in) in length and weighing 2.3 to 7 kg (5.1 - 15.4 lb).

Sockeyes are very full-flavored, almost strong, tasting faintly like crab. They dine mostly on small crustaceans such as krill. Sockeye smokes beautifully and really only needs salt and a squeeze of lemon or a very simple sauce to go with it.

Keep on Truckin’: Hatchery Staff Drive the Distance to Make Sure Salmon Keep on Swimmin’

The distance traveled by salmon is legendary. With a migratory route that is  thousands of miles long and a myriad of barriers along the way, these fish have their work cut out for them. And for the more than 700 fish from Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery (NFH), the journey is even longer. Thankfully, they have seasoned and dedicated staff to help them on their way.

This summer, the Chinook adults and fry are being moved from Warm Springs NFH to Little White Salmon NFH, tacking on an extra 100 miles to their already extensive migratory routes. Due to elevated water temperatures and construction to update the electrical system at Warm Springs NFH, hatchery staff is faced with the Herculean task of moving hundreds of fish hundreds of miles.

Transporting this many fish this distance this early in the morning requires a commercial driver’s license, nerves of steel, and coffee. A lot of coffee. “Getting up even earlier than normal and drinking some extra coffee are small prices to pay for something that is this important, we take the care of our fish very seriously,” says Bryan Charlton, one of the early morning crew charged with moving this precious cargo.

Charlton leaves Willard NFH before 5:00 am to drive 110 miles to Warm Springs NFH where he works with Josh Youtsey, Joseph Badoni, Terry Freije, Kevin Blueback, Rosie Heath, and manager Mary Bayer to load the adult salmon.  “This is a tough task that requires very precise logistical calculations so science, coordination, and good old fashioned dedication to our resources is essential,” says Bayer.  

That dedication is going the distance. Over one thousand miles total have been driven to move over 700 adults to the Little White Salmon NFH where the water remains colder throughout the hot summer months. The crew on the receiving end includes Bob Turik, Pete Long, Dave Frost, Tyson Langford, Orlanda John, and Eli Mulhausen.  It will take seven trips - 1,400 miles - to transport the juvenile salmon.

Once the salmon arrive at their final destination, the work continues. Columbia River Gorge National Fish Hatchery Complex staff comprised of Chris Hankin, Mark Doulos, Scott Zirjacks and Jeremiah Youtsey will assist with pumping the juvenile fish from the truck into raceways where they will remain for three months until water temperatures are cooler and construction is complete at Warm Springs. The adult salmon will remain at Little White Salmon NFH for spawning.

“The journey of salmon is awe inspiring and the teamwork it takes to help them on that journey is just as impressive,” says Mike Clark, manager for the Gorge Complex. “I am very grateful we have such skilled and devoted men and women doing everything they can for these fish.”

5 Best New Fishing Spots in America

Everything in fishing adjustments. On the minutest degree, that exchange can be as simple as fish unexpectedly turning off of green-pumpkin worms after they’d been hammering them for hours, or a gradual chew ­unexpectedly going bonkers earlier than a hurricane. In the grander scheme, what also can exchange is the general excellence of an entire fishery. Sometimes lakes or rivers that were warm for many years suddenly move bloodless.

Alabama

Water: Lewis Smith Lake Targets: Largemouth Bass and Striped Bass Alabama is home to some of the best bass lakes in the U.S., but Lewis Smith Lake wasn’t considered one of them until recently. The deep, clear lake that seemed dead for years presently has a thriving fishery thanks to the newly flourishing blueback herring population, which largemouths and stripers are chowing down on.

Alaska

Water: Situk River Targets: Sockeye and Pink Salmon The Situk receives much less attention than some of Alaska’s different rivers, and whilst it sees its share of site visitors during the spring and fall steelhead runs, anglers all but disappear within the summer time. Big mistake, due to the fact the Situk has robust runs of crimson and sockeye salmon expecting every person seeking solitude.

Arizona

Water: Saguaro Lake Target: Largemouth Bass A fish kill in 2005 decimated Saguaro’s largemouth population. However, with rejuvenated grass increase, smooth mountain water waft, and a resurgence of baitfish, the bass population has rebounded huge time. Saguaro is now a top trophy lake in Arizona, and one that the locals do not forget a hidden gem.

Arkansas

Water: Lake Ouachita Targets: Striped Bass and Walleyes Lake Ouachita has visible a recent increase in its shad populace, and with it came a growth inside the quantity and length of stripers and walleyes. The country also currently lowered the minimum ownership length of bass to twelve inches so one can urge anglers to fill their coolers with smaller fish and permit the bigger ones to cross.

California

Water: Skinner Reservoir Targets: Largemouth and Striped Bass California is thought for its massive bass lakes, however, Skinner Reservoir is a total sleeper. Local sticks seek advice from it because of the “SoCal Clear Lake” for its similarities to the well-known Clear Lake farther north. Its lunker largemouths and stripers get fats at the plentiful trout.

Cute video from The Nature Conservancy about the restoration of rivers in the State of Maine. Description from The Nature Conservancy:

Uniquely among east coast states, Maine waters support 12 native species of sea-run fish—species that live in the ocean and travel to fresh water rivers or ponds to lay their eggs, or, like the American eel, spend their lives in fresh water and migrate to the ocean to spawn.

Alewives, Atlantic salmon, American shad, Atlantic sturgeon, Atlantic tomcod, blueback herring, rainbow smelt, sea lamprey, sea-run brook trout, shortnose sturgeon, and striped bass live most of their lives in the ocean, only migrating to fresh water during the spring to spawn. American eels do the opposite—they live in our freshwaters and migrate to the Sargasso Sea to mate, far off the coast of the southern United States. Many of these species may make the trip multiple times during their lives.

These amazing fish bring important ocean nutrients to fresh water ecosystems and provide food for eagles, osprey, kingfishers, otters, seals, and other animals that rely on the river for some or all of their life cycle. Schools of alewives, blueback herring, and shad also provide food for larger marine fish like cod. Many coastal communities enjoy annual alewife and herring harvests for eating and for use as lobster bait. Entire festivals are celebrated each spring in Maine to welcome these fish back to their spawning grounds.

Our rivers were once filled with millions of fish swimming upstream from the ocean every year on their spawning migrations, providing food for people and wildlife. Then, during a long and productive history of industry in Maine, dams were built to harness the river’s power and roads were cut to bring goods and people together. In many places this construction cut off sea-run and other native fish from the types of habitat they need to reproduce and thrive. This among other challenges like water pollution and overfishing have resulted in drastic population declines. Atlantic salmon and shortnose sturgeon are now endangered, Atlantic sturgeon are listed as threatened, and Rainbow smelt, blueback herring, and alewives are considered species of special concern. These blocked waterways don’t only effect migratory fish—dams and poor culverts also impact other wildlife that depend on streams, like native brook trout and turtles.

Dams and undersized culverts that block water flow can degrade water quality, increase water temperatures, and deplete oxygen. Culverts that are too small and aging dams are vulnerable to storms and flooding that can cause erosion and structural damage. Precipitation has increased across Maine, with more frequent intense storms. Properly designed fish-friendly road crossings reduce flood risk, improve transportation safety, and help minimize short-term repairs cost
