1 Target Fish Communities and the MA Water Policy Todd Richards MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife
2 MA Water Policy (2004) Principle: Protect Fish and Wildlife Habitat Recommendation: Conduct Target Fish Community Assessments EEA Funded 2 Employees to Work with F&W
3 Developing a Target Fish Community Goal: Define the fish community that is appropriate for a natural river in southern New England (Bain and Meixler, 2000) Assumption: Biological Integrity should be Maintained and is defined by a balanced, integrated, adaptive community (Karr, 1991) Rivers Should Have River Fish Communities
4 Fish Community Assessment The Fish Tell the Story Long-Lived Reflect Stresses Over Time Easily Recognized and Identified
5 Rivers Should Have River Fish Communities What is a River Fish? Fluvial Specialists- FS-(Require Flowing Water - brook trout)
6 Rivers Should Have River Fish Communities What is a River Fish? Fluvial Dependents-FD- (Need Flowing Water at Some time in Their Life Cycle - white sucker)
7 Rivers Should Have River Fish Communities What is a River Fish? Macrohabitat Generalists-MG-(Don t Require Flowing Water - largemouth bass)
8 Completed Target Fish Communities Ipswich USFWS and IRWA, 2001 MG 29% FD 20% Charles CRWA and Cornell, 2006 FS 51% MG 25% FD 25% FS 50% 12% 18% MG 25% FD 25% 70% Housatonic MA Riverways 2004 FS 50% Quinebaug Cornell, 2000
