2 Background/Objectives 1999: US Forest Service & VDGIF Headwater stream eel survey on USFS lands Eels found in several streams in summer Gone in fall where did they go?? : P. A. Strickland, Virginia Tech Thesis 2002 Habitat preference, pop. density, growth, movement 2002 Present: US Forest Service & VDGIF Annual sampling for long-term monitoring of growth & movement
3 Study Sites Rappahannock R. Lexington James River
4 S.F. Tye River Study Sites Stream Description Habitat pool, riffle gravel, cobble, boulder gradient 5% Avg. width 8 m S.F. Tye R. 2 km sample reach Shoe Creek Shoe Cr. 2 km sample reach Fish American Eel Blacknose Dace Bluehead Chub Brook Trout Central Stoneroller Longnose Dace Mountain Redbelly dace Rosyside Dace Torrent Sucker and others
5 P. A. Strickland PIT tag 2 km reaches, 3 streams Multiple pass efishing for population est. Radio telemetry for movement & habitat preference PIT (passive integrated transponder) tagging for growth estimates Electrofishing Methods 2002-Present USFS 2 km reaches, 2 streams Single pass efishing in summer PIT tagging Location, length, & weight Shoe Creek
6 P. A. Strickland s Results ( ) Habitat Preference (telemetry) Deep pools; large substrate Movement (telemetry) Greatest in summer, least in winter Daily activity greatest at night Mid-fall to mid-spring, eels moved very little, burying in substrate and under stream banks Density estimates, population estimates, growth rates Strickland, P.A American eel distribution and growth in selected tributaries of the James River. MS Thesis, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg.
7 P. A. Strickland s Results ( ) USFS continues monitoring in Shoe Cr. & Tye R. b/c of high densities. 7 Density (eels/100 m 2 ) S.F. Piney R. Shoe Cr. S.F. Tye R. Comparison Data: <2 eels/100 m 2 in James R. & Shenandoah R. drainage streams (Smogor et al. 1995, Goodwin and Angermeier 2003)

21 Eels in the Staunton River dam removal eels return Embrey dam removed m high (22 ft) Located 153 km (95 mi) downstream of Staunton R. Length (mm) Year Hitt et al. also found an increase small eels after the removal of Embrey dam. Nathaniel P. Hitt, Sheila Eyler & John E. B. Wofford (2012): Dam Removal Increases American Eel Abundance in Distant Headwater Streams, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 141:5,
22 Conclusions Highly mobile or highly sedentary depending on life stage Don t move much in headwaters Stay a long time Local conditions important Long-term studies have great benefits High recapture % Small eels return in Staunton
23 Future Work Continue annual sampling Additional data analysis Annual mortality Expand PIT tagging to Rapidan headwaters? Any PIT monitoring downstream on James River?
