1 Summary of Fish Results for James Island E and James Island W, 2008 and 2009 Skagit River System Cooperative Research Program December 2012 Beach seine sampling for fish was conducted at James Island E and James Island W as part of Washington State s Salmon Recovery Funding Board Project # N: WRIA2 Habitat Based Assessment of Juvenile Salmon, also locally known as the Big Picture Project. James Island E and James Island W are located on James Island within the San Juan Islands (Figure 1). Sets were made on both sides of the isthmus of the island (E and W) using large net beach seines after methods described in Skagit System Cooperative Research Department (2003). We made 28 beach seine sets over the two-year study period. Beach seining occurred monthly from March through September 2008 and April through October The beach seine sites at both James Island E and James Island W consisted primarily of gravel to mixed coarse substrate. Vegetative cover consisted of eelgrass or mixed eelgrass and macroalgae 57% of the time, and was without any cover 43% of the time (both sites). Average maximum water depth was 2.79 meters and average salinity was 30.4 parts per thousand within the area seined at both sites. Water temperatures varied by month, but ranged from a low of 7.5 C in April 2008 to a high of 12.8 C in September The temperatures did not vary more than a half a degree C between the sites on each sampling day. At James Island E we caught a total of 3,524 fish from 37 different species or species groupings over the two-year study period, including four species of juvenile salmon and two species of forage fish (Table 1). The most abundant fish species was an unidentified cod with a of 2,683 fish, present in 14.3 % of the beach seine sets. They accounted for 76.1% of the total. We kept count of Dungeness crab (3) caught by seines, as this species is of commercial and recreational interest. At James Island W we caught a total of 6,943 fish from 38 different species or species groupings over the two-year study period, including three species of juvenile salmon and three species of forage fish (Table 2). The most abundant fish species was Pacific sand lance with a of 2,637 fish, present in 21.4 % of the beach seine sets. They accounted for 38.0% of the total. Dungeness crab were not caught at this site. Please refer to Beamer and Fresh (2012) for more information regarding timing, abundance, and habitat selection of focal fish species for the Big Picture Project. The focal species are: Chinook salmon, chum salmon, pink salmon, Pacific herring, surf smelt, Pacific sand lance, and hexagrammids (greenlings and lingcod).
