1 To sea or not to sea: Brook trout life history strategies and tactics during the last years Allen Curry Canadian Rivers Institute New Brunswick Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Biology Department Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management and a cast of many
2 Basic requirements: -cold water (15 o C) -well-oxygenated -freshwater (reproduction) Eastern Brook Trout (that is really a charr) Salvelinus fontinalis Family Salmonidae Coregoninae Coregonus - whitefishes and ciscos Prosopium - round whitefishes Thymallinae Thymallus - graylings Salmoninae Oncorhynchus - Pacific salmon and trout Salmo - Atlantic salmon and brown trout Salvelinus - charrs (Arctic, Lake, and Brook)
3 Life History freshwater fish spawning (reproduction) adults (a rather large example) juveniles embryos
4 Life History (con( con t) BUT, some like to go to sea where they can grow big anadromous or sea-run populations
5 variability of life history tactics (Power 1980) where sea-run and considered anadromous, commonly sympatric with river residents (Power 1980) but,, these original models were based on single or few points in time and space captures
6 Our objectives: 1. Increase spatial and temporal information about life history tactics (to sea or not to sea). 2. Test hypotheses regarding origins of sympatric tactics of anadromy and residency (why go to sea?). Our working, alternative hypotheses: a) secondary contact of resident and anadromous genotypes: : predict strong genotypic differences b) anadromous form evolving from residents: - straying residents - low genotypic differences c) resident forms evolving from anadromous forms: - re-colonization and access to headwaters from sea - intermediate genotypic differences
7 Methods 1. Acoustic and radio tracking 2. Fish counting fences 3. Microsatellite DNA 4. Physiological parameters of anadromy, e.g., plasma

21 Summary of sea-run tactics: sea-run behaviour varies (regulated by habitat) not necessary to grow large and presumably more fit Why go to Sea? - back to our working, alternative hypotheses: a) secondary contact of resident and anadromous genotypes: : predict strong genotypic differences b) anadromous form evolved from residents: - straying residents - low genotypic differences c) resident forms evolving from anadromous forms: - re-colonization and access to headwaters from sea - intermediate genotypic differences
22 a) Secondary contact (anadromous and resident populations)? 10,000 years before present Present Day
23 a) Secondary contact (anadromous and resident popualtions)? LI (freshwater) 100 km/ GULF of MAINE Atlantic and Georges Bank Refugia LAURENTIAN CHANNEL Sable Island Refugia Grand Banks Refuge 12, C yr BP
24 a) Secondary contact (anadromous and resident popualtions)? 100 km/ Freshwater flow Madawaska River Lake Madawaska GULF of MAINE 11, C yr BP
25 a) Secondary contact (anadromous and resident popualtions)? Lake Madawaska Dispersal to ME and Atlantic Canada very limited dispersal of freshwater fishes to the east
26 a) Secondary contact? Larger scale microsatellite DNA analyses among populations a) not 2 distinct genotypes b) northern populations are recently evolved c) neighbouring river populations most closely related (L. Bernatchez and studnets,, Laval)
27 a)secondary contact? - finer scale microsats: : among and within populations ll 3 Rivers Laval Beadle (upstream) Beadle (downstream) Burnthill 10% 17% 17% 16% 84% 66% 20% resident immigrant immigrant (2 nd ) anadromous Stone Origins of young (stable isotopes) 20% 80% South Branch 70% Miramichi 100% Kennebecasis 9% 46% 45% Portagevale 13% 70% PEI 6% Blueshank 17% migratory 42% resident 20% 74% Brookvale 42% 33% 38% Wilmot C 25% 60% 2% Howell s Petite Cascapedia Kennebecasis
28 Back to the working hypotheses: a) secondary contact: - low probability - possible in northern Maine and New Brunswick, central Quebec (yet to be tested) b) anadromous form evolving from resident forms: - very low probability - no freshwater access to entire region during glacier retreat c) residents evolving from anadromous forms = - most probable i) early re-colonization and access to headwaters from the sea ii) neighbour populations most related iii) northern pop ns most recently established iv) intermediate genotypic differences
29 To sea or not to Sea? sea-run tactic better described as partial, facultative anadromy (if anadromy is a necessary descriptor) Why go to sea? - propensity to move and disperse - over-production of juveniles - a residual physiological ability to tolerate saline environments (developed in their phylogeny) - only if critical habitats exist: 1. thermal connectivity in the river and estuary (access to seasonal habitats) 2. coldwater habitats in rivers in summer - large bodied fishes, groundwater 3. ice-free habitats in winter - sea-run tactic is expressed when river conditions permit - not necessarily (perhaps never?) the only evolutionary stable strategy for a river system
30 What does it mean for brook trout in the future? - successful conservation of sea-run populations of brook charr = a) protection of the critical habitats and all their spatial and temporal characteristics. b) habitat limits production of embryos, juveniles, and large adults; consequently, increasing their abundance, e.g., stocking of fish, will most probably have limited success and only in the short-term. term.
