1 Wild & Hatchery Salmon Interactions Model Pete Rand & Bob Lessard

2 Hatchery Straying in Prince William Sound Brenner et al. 2012

3 Objectives Develop a tool to explore some of the hypotheses about wild/hatchery interactions Levels of hatchery production Spatial dynamics of straying Effect of fisheries Fitness

4 Mitigation of Hatchery/Wild interactions Catch all the hatchery fish so they can t stray Adjust the timing and placement of each gear type to avoid by-catch Produce less hatchery fish

5 Basic Model Description Model simulates life history and productivity of both wild and hatchery populations in a given region, and includes straying. Key metric is phos (proportion of hatchery-origin fish on spawning grounds). The model simulates fishery (up to two gear types in each district). Wild populations have the following intrinsic properties: Ricker a/b parameters (density-dependent population dynamics) Effect on productivity a function of exposure to hatchery salmon Harvest pressure defined by vulnerability/catchability Model can simulate limits to marine carrying capacity. Model simulates 30 years into the future, with variability.

6 Tracking Seven Natural Populations 3 (AWC #223) 2 (AWC #222) 1 (AWC #221) 4 (AWC #224) 5 (AWC #226) 6 (AWC #227) 7 (AWC #228)

7 Model Structure Natural Spawning Habitat Fishery Districts f(stray prob, distance) f(bev-holt S-R) W H W H Hatcheries f(halfmax) f(ricker S-R) Ocean W H f(halfmax)

8 Probablity of Straying Key Assumptions - Straying In model, number of hatchery strays is calculated from number of fish remaining after harvest and distance from release location. Wild fish do not stray. 5.00E E-05 Probability of Straying 4.00E E E E E E E E E+00 PWS SEAK Distance (km)

9 Productivity Effect (Proportion of Maximum) Key Assumptions Fitness Effects Effect of hatchery fish on productivity of wild fish governed by HalfMax parameters (one for freshwater, one for marine). No intergenerational effects (annual reset ) Weak W-H Interaction HalfMax=0.2 HalfMax= Strong W-H Interaction phos

11 Adult Returns Millions Key Assumptions Marine Carrying Capacity/Marine Survival Two different scenarios: 1) no limit (large K), or 2) ocean survival a function of density. Marine survival of wild and hatchery fish is equal No ocean limits Fry Releases Millions B-H Model

27 Proposal for Collaboration on Model Problem definition Develop and apply model as a tool for: Prince William Sound (pink) Southeast Alaska (chum) Aniva Bay, Sakhalin (pink) Hokkaido, Japan (chum) Use as a risk management tool explore alternative management actions to achieve management objectives (e.g. minimizing phos).

28 Management Levers in Model Change in hatchery releases (total #s, release locations). Fishery type, fishing effort, season (including selectivity/catchability of different gear)

29 Key Uncertainties to Evaluate Natural productivity dynamics in freshwater Ocean effect on survival/density-dependence Factors controlling straying, straying variability Selectivity of fishing Magnitude of fitness effect

30 Some key points Process is important! Transparency, objectivity, and inclusiveness are keys to success. It is one tool to aid in future decision making process.

31 Steps Continue developing model structure River spatial layer ( distance matrix ) District boundaries, fishery types Data needs Hatchery release numbers Stock-recruitment data or functions to represent natural populations Catch/effort and escapement data W/H ratio in fishery, on spawning grounds Willingness to collaborate on model and writing (draft reviews, co-authorship on report/manuscript)
