5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Increased access in the Red Earth region of northwestern Alberta has raised concerns about impacts of potential increases in angling pressure on sportfish populations of lakes in the region, including Goosegrass Lake. The present study was conducted at Goosegrass Lake to generate quantitative data on abundance, population structure and growth of two major species, northern pike (Esox lucius) and yellow perch (Perca flavescens), that can be used to assess impacts of increased fishing pressure. A total of 225 sportfish were captured during the survey. Northern pike was the most abundant species captured, accounting for 74.6% of the catch, and yellow perch was least abundant, accounting for 25.4% of the catch. Mean catch per unit effort (CPUE) for northern pike ranged from to fish/100 m 2 /24 h with a total CPUE of fish/100 m 2 /24 h. Of the 168 northern pike sampled, 46% were females and 54% were males resulting in a female to male sex ratio of 0.87:1. Total length (TL) of females ranged from to mm with a mean (± SD) of ± 78.0 mm. Males ranged in length from to mm with a mean of ± 55.9 mm (n = 89). Male northern pike ranged in age from 4 to 11 y (mean = 7.33 ± 1.62 y; n = 89), whereas females ranged from 3 to 13 y (mean = 7.66 ± 2.10 y; n = 77); overall mean age of the catch was 7.45 y ± 1.90 y (n = 167). Age 8 males and age 6 females with mean TLs of ± mm (n = 27) and ± mm (n = 18), respectively, were the most abundant year classes representing 26.8% of the total catch. Mean CPUE for yellow perch ranged from 5.83 to 6.56 fish/100 m 2 /24 h with a total CPUE of 6.11 fish/100 m 2 /24 h. Of the 56 yellow perch caught, 60.7% (n = 34) were females and 5.4% (n = 3) were males resulting in a female to male sex ratio of 11.33:1. Predicted TL of females ranged from 92.8 to mm with a mean of ± 8.69 mm (n = 34), whereas length of males ranged from to mm with a mean of ± mm (n = 3). Male yellow perch ranged in age from 8 to 9 y (mean = 8.5 y, n = 2), whereas females ranged in age from 2 to 9 y with a mean of y (n = 33); overall mean age of the catch was 5.72 ± 2.10 y (n = 39). The age 6 cohort with a mean TL of mm ± 6.09 mm (n = 8) was the most abundant year class, representing 20.5% of the total catch. ii

13 1.0 INTRODUCTION Increased access (new road development) to lakes in the Red Earth area in northern Alberta, including Goosegrass Lake, has raised concerns about the potential impacts of increasing angling pressure on sportfish populations. Strategies implemented by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD) to maintain or recover fish populations include changes in angling regulations that are designed to reduce fish mortality and increase recruitment (Berry 1999). Regular evaluation of the abundance and structure of sportfish populations is necessary to assess the effectiveness of management strategies. To assess impacts of increased accessibility on sportfish populations in Goosegrass Lake, we conducted a stock assessment survey on the lake to quantify the abundance, age and growth of the two major sportfish species, northern pike (Esox lucius) and yellow perch (Perca flavescens). 2.0 STUDY AREA Goosegrass Lake is located approximately 68 km northeast of Red Earth Creek, Alberta (Figure 1) at Easting, Northing, UTM zone 11. It has a surface area of ha, an average depth of 3.8 m and a maximum depth of 6.5 m. Access to the lake is via a gravel road followed by an ATV trail. The lake supports natural populations of northern pike, yellow perch and white sucker (Catostomus catostomus) (Wilcox 1999). 1

15 3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 Sampling design This study was conducted between 19 and 21 June Nine multi mesh benthic gill nets were used to capture fish. Each net measured 1.8 m deep by 61.0 m long and was comprised of eight 7.6 m panels of different mesh sizes (stretched mesh) including 25, 38, 51, 64, 76, 102, 127, and 152 mm sewn together in sequential order. Sampling sites were selected in a stratified random sampling design, with two depth strata (2 to 5 m and 5 to 15 m); water deeper than 15 m was not sampled. Table 1 shows the stratification and the proportion of the lake s surface area represented by each stratum. Sampling effort was allocated proportionately to surface area of the two depth strata (Table 1). A total of nine gill nets were deployed and their locations are provided in Appendix 1. Sample sites were randomly selected with a minimum distance of 500 m between all sites. Nets were set at depths 2 m and 15 m for approximately 24 h. Nets were set perpendicular to the shoreline; if the net extended beyond its depth stratum then the net was reset at an angle. The orientation of the largest or smallest mesh in relation to the shore was random. Table 1. Distribution of fish sampling effort by depth strata at Goosegrass Lake, Alberta, Depth interval (m) Proportion of lake surface area (%) Number of sites 2 to to Data collection Biological data collected from all captured fish included: fork length (FL), total length (TL) and weight. Sex, maturity and stomach contents were determined through internal examination of deceased fish. Stomach contents were collected as requested by ASRD. Ageing structures were also removed from deceased fish and were aged following methods in Mackay et al. (1990). Cleithra were collected to age northern pike 3
16 and opercular bones and dorsal fin rays were collected to age yellow perch. All data (number caught, FL, age, weight and stomach contents) were entered into the Alberta government Fisheries Management Information System (FMIS), Project Location ID Data analysis The abundance of each species, expressed as catch per unit effort (CPUE, fish/100 m 2 of net/24 h), was calculated at each sampling site and used to calculate the mean CPUE (+ 95% confidence interval). CPUE values were reported for each depth stratum as well as a grand mean for all depth strata combined. Total catch per unit effort (TCUE) is the total catch of each fish species divided by the total effort applied. In order to evaluate current management strategies at a particular lake, fisheries managers of ASRD compare catch rates (CPUE and TCUE) at the lake to those on other similar lakes, and monitor changes in catch rates over time. Length frequency and age frequency distributions were used to examine the population structure of each species. Distributions of length and age were shown in relation to CPUE for each 20 mm class or age interval. Total length distributions were displayed in 20 mm length classes. We established relations between FL and TL for northern pike and yellow perch from fish captured in this study. In order to reduce sampling time, TL was not measured for all fish. To estimate the TL of all fish captured in this study, we plotted FL and TL measurements of individual northern pike and yellow perch, where both were recorded, and fit the data to the following linear regression models. Northern pike : Yellow perch : TL = (FL) ; (R TL = (FL) ;(R 2 2 = 0.996, n = 59) = 0.999, n = 18) Fish maturity was described as the age at which 50% of the fish were mature. The length at which 50% of fish were mature was also reported. Fish growth rate was described using the von Bertalanffy (1938) growth model: 4
17 L t = L (1 e k (t t 0 ) ) where, L t = length at age t, L = the asymptote or final maximum size, K = the rate at which the growth curve approaches the asymptote, and t 0 = a time scaler, the hypothetical time when the fish was size zero To account for sexual variation in growth rate, the von Bertalanffy model was fitted separately for male and female fish. The parameter used to estimate growth in the von Bertalanffy model is K, i.e., the rate at which the fish approaches maximum size (L ). Higher values of K represent faster growth and are usually associated with a lower L. Due to small sample sizes of small fish, t0 was fixed at zero to reduce bias in the growth function RESULTS 4.1 Northern pike Northern pike accounted for 74.6% of the total catch (168 of 225 fish captured). TCUE was fish/100 m 2 /24 h. Mean CPUE ranged from fish/100 m 2 /24 h in the 5 to 15 m depth interval to fish/100 m 2 /24 h in the 2 to 5 m interval, with a grand mean of fish/100 m 2 /24 h (Table 2). Table 2.

18 The proportion of mature northern pike in each age and length class is shown in Tables 3 and 4. While sample sizes of each age class were insufficient to determine the point of 50% maturity, the data show this occurs earlier than age 6 for both males and females. The data also show that 50% of male northern pike are mature before they reach 630 mm TL. Small sample sizes of females in each length category were insufficient to determine the point of 50% maturity. Table 3.

Total length of females ranged from to mm with a mean of ± 78.0 mm (n = 77; Figure 2), whereas total length of males ranged from to mm with a mean of mm ± 55.9 mm (n = 89; Figure 2). 7

The age 6 cohort was the most abundant year class for female northern pike, representing 23% of all females (n = 18). Age 8 males were most abundant, representing 30% of all males (n = 27). Age 6 females had a mean TL of ± 24.7 mm ( n = 18). Age 8 males had a mean TL of ± 17.8 mm (n = 27). Average TL of the age 6 female and age 8 male cohorts exceeded the legal harvest size of 63 cm, making both cohorts susceptible to angler harvest. 8

TCUE was 6.11 fish/100 m 2 /24 h. Mean CPUE ranged from 5.83 fish/100 m 2 /24 h in the 5 to 15 m depth to 6.56 fish/100 m 2 /24 h in the 2 to 5 m interval, with a grand mean of 6.07 fish/100 m 2 /24 h (Table 5). However, the combination of a very small sample size and large variance in catch rates in the 2 to 5 m interval suggests that this estimate may be unreliable (Table 5). 10

The results of this study provide important baseline information that can be used by resource managers to quantify the effects of increases in angling effort due to increased access to Goosegrass Lake that are forecasted to occur over the next decade. Increased monitoring of fish populations at Goosegrass Lake and other lakes in the Red Earth area will become increasingly important with the development of a proposed highway extending from Red Earth to Fort McMurray. 15
