1.0  INTRODUCTION 

The  Lower  Bow  River  near  Calgary  (downstream  of  Bearspaw  Dam)  provides  an  excellent  sport  fishery  for  rainbow 
trout  {Oncorhynchus  mykiss),  brown  trout  {Salmo  trutta),  and  mountain  whitefish  {Prosopium  williamsoni).  Fisheries 
studies  conducted  during  the  early  1980's  assessed  the  status  of  brown  trout  and  rainbow  trout  populations 
immediately  downstream  of  Calgary  (Sosiak  and  Griffiths  1983;  Sosiak  1984).  Based  on  these  studies,  new  fishing 
regulations  requiring  anglers  to  release  all  trout  greater  than  40  cm  in  length  were  implemented  in  the  section  of  river 
between  Highway  22X  bridge  and  the  Carseland  Weir  in  1983.  This  regulation  change  was  designed  to  increase  the 
number  of  large  trout  in  the  system.  Monitoring  studies  were  conducted  between  1984  and  1992  (Sosiak  et  al.  1988; 
Fernet  et  al.  1988;  Courtney  and  Fernet  1989,  Courtney  and  Fernet  1990,  Courtney  and  Fernet  1991;  Helwig  and 
Courtney  1993;  Courtney  1993)  to  assess  the  effectiveness  of  these  regulations. 

In  August  1999,  Alberta  Environment  and  RL&L  Environmental  Services  Ltd.  (RL&L)  conducted  a fisheries  study 
to  update  the  status  of  the  sportfish  populations  in  the  Lower  Bow  River.  The  results  of  this  study  were  compared 
with  the  previous  data  of  the  1980's  and  early  1990's  in  RL&L  (2000).  Recognizing  that  the  continuation  of  the 
monitoring  program  is  necessary  to  assess  the  impact  of  fishing  regulations  and  increasing  recreational  use  on  the 
Lower  Bow  River  sportfish  populations,  Alberta  Environment  contracted  RL&L  to  assist  in  a follow-up  survey  in 
August  2000.  Similar  to  the  objectives  outlined  in  RL&L  (2000),  the  main  requirements  of  the  present  study  were 
to: 

• derive  population  estimates  (with  confidence  limits)  for  different  size-classes  of  brown  trout, 
rainbow  trout,  and  mountain  whitefish; 

• calculate  catch-per-unit-effort  (CPUE)  indices  for  these  size-classes  and  species; 

• determine  life  history  data  (length  frequencies,  length- weight  regressions,  condition  factors, 
fork  length  to  total  length  conversion  factors,  age-length  relationships,  injury  indices,  etc.)  for 
the  target  species; 

• identify  possible  changes  in  fish  populations  over  time  by  comparing  the  current  data  to 
corresponding  data  from  previous  years;  and, 

• assess  statistical  assumptions  inherent  in  mark/recapture  methods  (e.g.,  fish  movement).

2.0  METHODS 

2.1  STUDYAREA  AND  SAMPLE  PERIOD 

The  study  area  was  loeated  on  the  Bow  River  in  the  City  ofC'algary  (between  Kms  49.5  and  53.5  do\^nstreanl  ol  the 
Bearspaw  Dam)  and  eorresponded  to  the  same  4-km  river  section  as.sessed  in  1 999  ( Figure  2. 1 ). There  are  no  major 
named  tributaries  to  the  Bow  River  within  this  river  section.  This  section  was  further  divided  into  four  1-km  sub- 
sections to  assess  fish  movements  within  the  study  area.  The  upstream  and  downstream  boundaries  of  each  section 
were  geo-referenced  (UTM  - NAD27)  using  a Garmin  45  GPS  unit.  The  mean  width  (m)  and  area  (ha)  of  the  study 
sections  were  measured  from  air  photos  ( 1 :20  000  scale)  taken  on  1 7 July  1 998.  As  reported  in  RL&L  (2000).  the 
total  sampled  area  was  approximately  36  ha  within  the  4-km  study  section.  The  study  site  was  accessed  using  the  boat 
launch  at  Fish  Creek  Provincial  Park,  located  upstream  of  the  Highway  22X  bridge.  The  field  sampling  was 
conducted  between  2 1 and  24  August  2000. 

2.2  RIVER  CONDITIONS 

Water  temperature  (digital  thermometer,  ±0. 1 °C)  and  conductivity  (Oakton  TDSTestr3,  ±2%FS)  were  measured  in 
the  Bow  River  within  the  study  area  each  day  during  the  study  period.  Discharge  information  for  the  Bow  River  at 
Calgary  (Water  Survey  of  Canada  Station  05BH004)  was  obtained  from  the  Forecasting  Section  of  the  Alberta 
Environment  Water  Sciences  Branch. 

2.3  FISH  CAPTURE  AND  ASSESSMENT 

Similar  to  the  methods  employed  in  1999  (RLE  2000),  fish  sampling  was  conducted  by  members  of  RL&L  and 
Alberta  Environment,  using  two  three-person  crews  and  two  jet-drive  electrofishing  boats.  The  boats  used  were  a 
Smith-Root  SRI  8 and  a Roughneck  Tunnelhull;  each  boat  was  equipped  with  a GPP  5.0  clectrofishcr  unit  and  two 
fixed-boom  anode  arrays.  The  clectrofishcr  units  were  set  at  a frequency  of  30  Hz  and  a pulse  width  of  3.5  ms. 
yielding  a total  power  output  ranging  from  3.5  to  5.0  A.  These  settings  were  determined  to  be  the  most  efficient  for 

capturing  large  fish  without  inducing  injuries.  Pulse  widths  of  60  Hz  were  not  used  as  they  may  have  resulted  in  a 

higher  incidence  of  injury  (Snyder  1995). 

Sampling  within  each  section  was  conducted  along  both  banks  of  the  river.  To  ensure  optimum  coverage,  the  boat 
operators  manoeuvred  the  boats  in  a downstream  direction.  In  areas  where  islands  were  encountered  (Sections  2 
and  3),  sampling  was  conducted  in  the  channel  where  sufficient  depth  and  better  fish  habitat  existed.  Each  section 
of  the  study  area  was  sampled  twice  daily.

The  captured  fish  were  retained  in  an  on-board  aerated  holding  tank  prior  to  processing.  Once  sampling  of' a sub- 
section was  completed,  the  fish  were  transferred  into  aerated  tanks  for  processing  by  two  crexss  on  tuo  additional 
boats. 

All  life  history  data  (Appendix  A,  Table  A 1 ) were  collected  by  Alberta  hin  ironmcni  personnel,  fork  length  and  total 
length  of  the  captured  fish  were  measured  in  millimetres  (±1  mm);  weights  were  measured  in  grams  (*5  g).  using  a 
Pelouzc  Model  PEIOCN  digital  read-out  scale.  Life  history  information  was  collected  from  all  fish,  including 
recaptures.  Most  trout  and  mountain  whitefish  greater  than  200  mm  in  fork  length  were  lagged  at  the  ba.se  of  the 
dorsal  fin  with  orange  ‘T-bar’  anchor  tags  (FloyCR;  Model  FD-94).  Smaller  trout  and  mountain  whitefish  were  marked 
by  clipping  the  pectoral  or  pelvic  fins.  Different  fins  were  clipped  on  each  .sampling  day  to  identify  the  date  of 
original  capture  (Table  2. 1 ).  In  addition  to  the  “date”  clip,  each  small  fish  was  marked  on  the  caudal  or  adipose  fm 
with  a hole  punch;  the  position  of  the  punched  hole  indicated  capture  location  (Table  2.1 ).

Scale  samples  were  collected  from  representative  individuals  of  each  species.  Otoliths  (and  associated  scales)  were 
also  collected  by  Alberta  Environment  personnel  on  a subsequent  inventory  program,  and  were  used  to  validate  scale 
ageing.  Otoliths  were  not  taken  during  the  population  study  to  prevent  biases  in  the  marked  cohort.  Each  fish  was 
examined  for  evidence  of  external  damage  and  injuries  (c.g.,  hook  damage  from  angling  activities)  prior  to  release. 
The  severity  of  each  injury  was  categorized  as  low,  medium  or  high.  All  fish  were  released  near  shore  at  the  mid- 
point of  the  corresponding  capture  sub-section  in  order  to  reduce  possible  biases  associated  with  fish  movements 
between  sections. 

2.4  DATA  ANALYSIS 

2.4.1  Size-Classes 

The  size-classes  were  based  on  the  criteria  developed  by  Courtney  (1993)  and  those  reported  in  RL&L  (2000).  The 
“large”  size-classes  corresponded  to  the  size  limits  established  by  the  current  Alberta  Fishing  Regulations  (i.c., 
maximum  40  cm  total  length  for  trout  species  and  minimum  30  cm  total  length  for  mountain  whitefish).  The 
“medium”  size-classes  were  consistent  with  those  reported  in  Courtney  ( 1 993)  and  RL&L  (2000).  Ba.scd  on  the  total 
length  versus  fork  length  regression  equations  (Couilney  1993),  the  “large”  size-classes  included  brown  trout, 
rainbow  trout,  and  mountain  whitefish  that  were  greater  than  388,  380,  and  280  mm  in  fork  length,  respectively.  The 
difference  in  fork  length  between  brown  trout  and  rainbow  trout  is  attributed  to  the  deeper  fork  of  the  caudal  fm  in 
rainbow  trout.

RL&L  ENVIRONMENTAL  SERVICES  LTD. 


2.4.2  Catch  Data 

All  CPUE  calculations  were  based  on  brown  trout,  rainbow  trout  and  mountain  whitefish  greater  than  1 50  mm  in  fork 
length.  Separate  CPUE  values  for  each  species  were  calculated  for  each  study  section  and  for  each  size-class  of  fish. 
The  CPUE  indices  were  presented  in  this  report  as  fish/km  and  fish/ 1000  s to  allow  comparisons  with  previous  years 
data.  Recaptured  marked  fish  were  included  in  the  database  used  to  generate  CPUE  values. 

2.4.3  Life  History 

Fork  length  data  were  presented  as  length  frequency  histograms  based  on  10  mm  size  intervals.  The  relationship 
between  fork  length  and  total  length  was  calculated  using  least  squares  regressions  to  allow  conversions  between  the 
two  measurement  criteria.  Relationships  between  length  and  weight  were  presented  as  length-weight  regressions  (log 
fork  length  vs  log  weight)  and  as  Fulton’s  condition  factor  calculated  according  to  Ricker  (1975).  The  length  and 
weight  calculations  included  all  fish  captured  for  the  first  time;  marked  recaptures  were  excluded  from  the 
calculations  as  they  would  have  biassed  the  size  characteristics  of  the  populations. 

Approximately  1 00  fish  of  each  target  species  were  aged.  Fish  were  aged  according  to  protocols  outlined  in  Mackay 
et  al.  ( 1 990).  All  ageing  structures  were  read  by  a minimum  of  two  qualified  personnel.  Magnified  scale  images  were 
produced  to  facilitate  the  ageing  process. 

2.4.4  Population  Estimates 

The  population  estimates  were  calculated  using  the  MARK  software  (White  and  Burnham  1999).  This  software  is 
available  at  www.cnr.colostate.edu/%7egwhite/mark/mark.htm  and  contains  the  CAPTURE  program  used  to  calculate 
population  estimates  in  1990-1992.  The  fish  data  were  summarized  into  mark-recapture  events  and  fish  encounter 
history  files  were  generated  according  to  procedures  described  in  White  and  Burnham  ( 1 999).  The  encounter  history 
files  were  subsequently  grouped  by  species  and  size-classes.  The  population  size  analyses  were  based  on  eight 
sampling  events.  The  output  of  the  MARK  software  included  an  estimate  of  population  size,  standard  error, 
coefficient  of  variation,  upper  and  lower  95%  confidence  intervals,  and  capture  probabilities  for  each  tested  group. 

During  the  1 982-1 988  period,  population  estimates  of  the  Bow  River  fish  were  generated  using  the  Darroch  estimator 
(White  et  al.  1982).  During  the  more  recent  studies  (1990-1992  and  1999),  population  estimates  were  derived  using 
the  Null  method  (Otis  et  al.  1978)  in  addition  to  the  Darroch  estimator.  Similarly,  the  present  study  utilized  both  the 
Darroch  and  Null  methods  to  enable  comparisons  with  previous  data  and  to  allow  for  a more  complete  assessment 
of  population  size  changes  over  the  past  two  decades. 

Population  estimates  were  generated  separately  for  three  size-classes  of  brown  trout  (150-250,  251-388,  and 
>388  mm  in  fork  length)  and  rainbow  trout  (150-250,  251-380,  and  >380  mm  in  fork  length)  to  be  consistent  with 
the  size-classes  used  in  the  1990-1992  and  1999  population  studies.  Mountain  whitefish  population  size  in  the  study 
area  was  estimated  for  the  first  time  in  1999;  these  estimates  were  generated  for  two  size-classes  (200-280  and 


Lower  Bow  River  Fish  Population  Status  Assessment  - August  2000

>280  mm  in  fork  length).  During  the  present  study,  mountain  whitefish  population  estimates  were  caleulated  for  three 
size-classes  ( 150-199,  200-280,  and  >280  mm  in  fork  length)  to  allow  for  more  accurate  determination  of  the  si/e 
of  the  youngest  cohorts. 

In  addition  to  generating  estimates  for  separate  size-classes,  the  recapture  data  were  pooled  for  each  species  to 
estimate  the  population  size  of  all  size-classes  combined.  All  population  estimates  are  expressed  as  the  number  of 
fish/km  and  fish/ha  to  allow  comparisons  to  previous  studies. 

Recaptured  fish  were  assessed  to  determine  the  distances  travelled  between  the  original  capture  and  recapture 
locations  during  subsequent  sampling  runs  (infrequent  recaptures  of  fish  that  were  marked  during  the  same  sampling 
run  were  ignored).  These  calculations  were  used  to  assess  movements  of  fish  out  of  the  .study  area.  This  determined 
the  potential  bias  in  the  population  estimates  caused  by  a violation  of  the  closure  assumption  inherent  in  mark- 
recapture  methodologies.  The  movement  data  were  summarized  for  all  size-classes  of  brown  trout,  rainbow  trout, 
and  mountain  whitefish;  they  were  not  calculated  for  individual  size-classes  bccau.se  of  limited  sample  sizes  of 
recaptured  fish.  Movements  offish  recaptured  twice  were  considered  as  two  separate  events. 

The  encounter  histories  of  fish  that  were  fm  clipped  (i.c.,  not  marked  with  a unique  tag  number)  were  generated  by 
matching  the  clip  code  information  and  fish  size  data  upon  recapture  to  the  original  capture  information.

Mean  daily  discharge  of  the  Bow  River  in  Calgary  during  the  fish  capture  events  in  2000  decreased  from  89.2  m^/s 
on  21  August  to  77.2  mVs  on  24  August  (Alberta  Environment,  Water  Sciences  Branch).  The  flows  in  2000  were 
lower  compared  to  the  long-term  average  flows  during  21-24  August  over  a twenty-year  period  between  1975  and 
1994  (Environment  Canada  1996),  and  considerably  lower  than  the  conditions  in  1999. Water  temperatures  in  the 
Bow  River  during  the  study  period  (21  to  24  August  2000)  ranged  between  14.4  and  18.7°C,  whereas  water 
conductivity  varied  between  271  and  305  pS  (Table  3.1).

*’  long-term  (20-yr)  average  calculated  from  mean  daily  discharges  (Environment  Canada  1 996). 


During  the  1975-1 994  period,  mean  monthly  flows  of  the  Bow  River  in  Calgary  were  highest  in  June  ( 1 74  mVs)  and 
considerable  lower  in  August  (113  mVs).  Comparison  of  mean  monthly  flows  in  August  during  the  years  when 
previous  population  estimates  in  the  Bow  River  were  carried  out  indicated  that  higher  than  “normal”  flows  occurred 
in  1990,  1991  and  1999  (August  means  of  135,  158  mVs  and  177  mVs,  respectively),  whereas  lower  than  “normal” 
flows  occurred  in  1982-1985,  1988,  1992,  and  2000  (August  means  ranged  from  88  to  106  mVs). 

Daily  flows  during  the  present  study  were  approximately  2 1 % lower  than  the  ‘normal  ’ flows  during  the  corresponding 
dates  between  1975  and  1994  (Table  3.1).  This  may  have  increased  the  sampling  efficiency  of  the  electrofishing 
operations  by  concentrating  the  fish  in  deeper  holding  areas.  As  a result  of  the  reduced  flows  in  2000,  water 
temperature  and  aquatic  macrophyte  abundance  were  higher  than  in  1999. 

The  mean  width  (m)  and  area  (ha)  of  the  study  sections  were  measured  from  air  photos  (1:20  000  scale)  taken  on 
17  July  1998.  As  reported  in  RL&L  (2000),  the  total  sampled  area  was  approximately  36  ha  within  the  4-km  study 
section.

4.0  SPECIES  COMPOSITION 
AND  RELATIVE  ABUNDANCE 

4.1  SPECIES  COMPOSITION 

In  total,  1381  sportfish  were  captured  during  the  August  2()()()  population  study  of  the  Bow  River  (Table  4.1). 
Mountain  whitcfish  (/?=654)  w'as  the  predominant  species  in  the  catch,  contributing  almost  half  (47.4"o)  to  the  total 
catch.  Rainbow'  trout  (/?=44 1 ) and  brown  trout  (/?=278)  contributed  3 1 .9%  and  20. 1 %,  respectively,  to  the  total  catch. 
Other  sportfish  species  in  the  catch  included  burbot  (/?=4)  and  bull  trout  (/;=4).  Non-sportfish  species  (longnose 
sucker  and  white  sucker)  were  frequently  observed  in  the  study  area  but  were  not  enumerated  during  the  study.

4.2  RELATIVE  ABUNDANCE 

Relative  abundance  data  for  each  size-class  of  brown  trout,  rainbow  trout,  and  mountain  whitcfish  in  the  study  area 
arc  summarized  as  catch-per-unit-effort  (CPUE)  indices  for  each  sampling  day  and  study  section  (Appendix  B, 
Figures  B 1 to  B3).  The  overall  CPUE  values  for  all  size-classes  combined  arc  presented  in  Figure  4. 1 . The  sampling 
effort  remained  relatively  constant  during  each  sampling  run  (ranged  from  446 1 to  5848  seconds  per  4-km  run  along 
both  banks);  therefore,  CPUE  indices  are  presented  as  number  of  fish  captured  per  1 -km  section  sampled  ( both  banks 
included).  CPUE  indices  expressed  as  number  of  fish  per  1000  seconds  of  electrofishing  time  are  included  in 
Appendix  B,  Tables  B1  to  B4. 

In  general,  catch  rates  for  each  species  did  not  vary  greatly  between  study  sections  and  between  days.  Catch  rates  for 
brown  trout  ranged  between  3.5  and  14.5  fish/km  (mean  of  8.7  fish/km),  regardless  of  sampling  day  or  study  section 
(Appendix  B,  Table  B2).  Catch  rates  for  brown  trout  were  highest  in  Section  1 during  the  first  three  days,  but  highest 
in  Section  4 on  the  fourth  day.  Lower  catch  rates  were  frequently  obscr\  cd  in  Section  2.  The  catch  rates  in  Section  1 
decreased  steadily  over  the  four  day  period.

Catch  rates  of  rainbow  trout  were  higher  and  less  variable  in  2()()()  (7.0  to  19.0  fish  km;  mean  of  13.S  fish  km; 
Appendix  B,  Table  B3)  than  in  1999  ( 1.5  to  12.5  tish  km;  mean  of  5.9  fish/km;  kL&L  2000).  The  catch  rates  uere 
similar  between  days.  Catches  in  Section  4 were  always  highest  and  in  Section  2 were  frequently  the  lowest. 

Mountain  whitefish  catch  rates  varied  from  10.5  to  3S.0  fish;km  (mean  of  20.4  fish,/km).  Mountain  whiiefish  catch 
rates  were  generally  highest  in  Section  3 and  lowest  in  Section  2 (Appendix  B,  Table  ii4).  Section  3 contains  a rapid 
deep-run  habitat  complex,  which  may  have  provided  more  suitable  mountain  whitefish  habitat  than  the  other  sections 
under  the  low  flow  conditions. 

The  overall  mean  catch  rates  in  2000  (all  study  sections  and  sampling  days  combined)  are  compared  to  the  previous 
data  from  1990  to  1999  in  Table  4.2  and  Figure  4.2.  To  be  consistent  with  the  units  presented  in  Courtney  ( 1993). 
the  mean  CPUE  indices  are  presented  as  the  number  offish  captured  per  1000  seconds  of  electrofishing  effort. 
Standard  deviations  of  the  means  are  presented  to  describe  daily  variability  in  the  catch  rates.

Catch  rates  of  brown  trout  in  the  two  smaller  size-classes  were  comparable  to  those  reported  in  1999;  however,  the 
catch  rates  of  the  adult  size-class  (>388  mm  size-class)  were  two  times  lower  in  2000  than  in  1 999.  CPUE  values  for 
the  juvenile  size-class  ( 1 50-250  mm)  remained  considerably  lower  in  1 999  and  2000  than  those  reported  by  Courtney 
(1993)  in  the  early  1990's.  Catch  rates  of  the  intermediate  size  class  fell  within  the  range  of  values  presented  by 
Courtney  (1993)  and  RL&L  (2000).  The  variability  in  rates  may  be  related  to  changes  in  spawning  success  of 
individual  cohorts  or  other  environmental  factors,  such  as  flow  regime. 

Catch  rates  of  juvenile  rainbow  trout  ( 1 50-250  mm)  were  approximately  thirteen  times  higher  in  2000  than  in  1999. 
A similar  dramatic  increase  was  observed  in  the  catch  rates  between  1 99 1 and  1 992.  The  catch  rate  of  rainbow  trout 
in  the  intermediate  size  class  (251-380  mm)  also  increased  in  2000  compared  to  1999.  These  differences  may  be

attributed  to  changes  in  discharge  levels  in  the  Bow  River  during  the  sampling  periods,  as  higher  than  normal  tlows 
experienced  in  1999  may  have  resulted  in  lower  capture  efficiency  for  the  smaller  size-classes.  The  increase  in  catch 
rates  of  juvenile  rainbow  trout  in  200()  may  also  be  attributed  to  increa.sed  recruitment  in  1999.  Adult  rainbow  trout 
(>380  mm)  were  captured  at  approximately  the  same  rate  in  20()0  as  during  the  previous  .studies. 

Mountain  whitcfish  capture  rates  were  lower  in  the  intermediate  size-cla.ss  (200-280  mm)  in  2000  compared  to  1999; 
however,  the  opposite  trend  was  noted  for  the  large  size-class  (>280  mm).  This  suggested  that  the  numerous 
200-280  mm  size  class  from  1999  contributed  to  the  higher  adult  catches  in  2000.

5.0  LIFE  HISTORY  DATA 

5.1  SIZE  DISTRIBUTION 

Brown  trout  captured  in  the  study  area  («=265  excluding  recaptured  fish)  ranged  from  1 78  to  624  mm  in  fork  length 
(Appendix  B,  Table  B5).  Similar  to  the  catch  in  1999,  the  length-frequency  distribution  exhibited  two  distinct  size- 
classes  (Figure  5.1).  More  than  one-third  (38.9%)  of  the  catch  was  comprised  of  fish  larger  than  388  mm  in  fork 
length  (i.e.,  fish  protected  by  the  current  angling  regulations).  Juvenile  fish  between  178  and  279  mm  in  fork  length 
were  also  well  represented  and  contributed  54.8%  to  the  total  catch  (Appendix  B,  Table  B6).  In  contrast,  fish  between 
280  and  388  mm  were  captured  infrequently  (6.4%  of  total  catch). The  length-frequency  distribution  in  2000  indicated 
more  juvenile  fish  and  fewer  adults  than  in  1999;  low  numbers  of  fish  in  the  intermediate  size-class  were  observed 
during  both  years. 

Rainbow  trout  («=41 1)  ranged  from  158  to  590  mm  in  fork  length  (Appendix  B,  Table  B5).  The  length-frequency 
distribution  of  rainbow  trout  indicated  a bimodal  distribution  (Figure  5.1).  Fish  greater  than  380  mm  in  fork  length 
contributed  much  less  to  the  total  catch  in  2000  (46.2%)  than  in  1999  (84.3%).  These  fish  represented  the  size-class 
protected  by  the  current  regulations.  The  portion  of  the  population  in  the  1 50  to  250  mm  size-class  was  much  higher 
in  2000  than  in  1999  (42.8%  and  6.5%,  respectively).  The  rainbow  trout  size  distribution  in  2000  exhibited  a high 
contribution  of  small  fish  (likely  due  to  a strong  1999  cohort)  and  a minor  contribution  of  fish  in  the  25 1 to  380  mm 
size  class.  A similar  length-frequency  distribution  was  recorded  in  1990  (Courtney  1993). 

Mountain  whitefish  («=613)  ranged  between  155  and  465  mm  in  fork  length  (Appendix  B,  Table  B5).  The  length- 
frequency  distribution  exhibited  three  distinct  modes,  which  likely  corresponded  to  age-classes  (Figure  5.1).  The 
most  abundant  size-class  (155-239  mm)  was  dominated  by  yearling  fish  and  contributed  43.3%  to  the  total  catch. 
Mountain  whitefish  larger  than  280  mm  in  total  length  (i.e.,  fish  legal  for  harvest  under  current  regulations) 
contributed  47.3%  to  the  total  catch. 

5.2  FORK  LENGTH  - TOTAL  LENGTH  RELATIONSHIPS 

Relationships  between  fork  length  (FL)  and  total  length  (TL)  were  plotted  for  each  of  the  target  species  to  allow 
conversions  between  these  two  measurements  methods  (Figure  5.2).  The  regression  equations  were  as  follows:

5.3  LENGTH-WEIGHT  RELATIONSHIPS 

The  relationships  between  fork  length  (FL)  and  weight  ( W)  for  brown  trout,  rainbow  trout,  and  mountain  whilefish 
are  illustrated  in  Figure  5.2.  The  ealeulated  regression  lines  for  eaeh  speeies  were  as  follous: 

Brown  trout  log  W = 2.952  log  FL  - 4.779  r = 0.993  //=205 

Rainbow  trout  log  W = 2.7S2  log  FL  - 4.355  r = 0.9S4  405 

Mountain  whitefish  log  W = 3.5 1 2 log  FL  - 6.056  r = 0.9S7  /i=-605 

Similar  length-weight  relationships  for  the  trout  speeies  were  reeorded  during  the  previous  studies  of  the  lk)u  Ki\er 
(Courtney  1993;  RL&L  2000). 

The  mean  condition  factors  for  the  three  target  species  are  presented  in  (Appendix  13.  Table  135).  The  mean  condition 
factors  for  brown  trout  and  mountain  whitefish  in  the  Bow  River  in  2()()0  were  similar  as  in  1999.  In  contrast,  adult 
rainbow  trout  (>380  mm  fork  length)  were  heavier  at  a given  length  in  2()()0  than  in  1999  ( mean  condition  factors 
of  1.17  and  1.12,  respectively);  this  difference  was  statistically  significant  (t-test  p>0.05).  As  in  1999,  condition 
factors  were  lower  in  the  larger  size-classes  than  the  smaller  size-classes  for  both  brown  trout  and  rainbow  trout, 
whereas  an  opposite  trend  was  recorded  for  mountain  whitefish. 

5.4  AGE  AND  GROWTH 

A subsamplc  of  analysed  ageing  structures  collected  from  sportfish  in  the  Bow  River  during  August  2000  consisted 
of  otoliths  and/or  scales  from  brown  trout  (/?=97),  rainbow  trout  (/?=96),  and  mountain  whitefish  (;7=1 02).  Age  data 
for  individual  fish  arc  included  in  Appendix  B,  Table  B7.  Age-length  relationships  for  each  species  are  summarized 
in  Appendix  B,  Table  B8  and  plotted  in  Figure  5.3 

Brown  trout  in  the  aged  sample  ranged  from  1 to  8 years  in  age.  Age  1 fish  exhibited  fast  gro\Mh  rates,  attaining  a 
mean  length  of  209  mm  near  the  end  of  their  second  year  of  growth  (i.e.,  late  summer  2000).  The  small  mode  of  the 
length-frequency  distribution  of  the  catch  (Figure  5. 1)  was  likely  comprised  of  both  Age  1 and  Age  2 fish.  Based  on 
the  aged  sample,  brown  trout  protected  by  the  current  angling  regulations  (i.e.,  fish  larger  than  388  mm  in  fork  length) 
include  fish  of  age  3 and  older. 

Rainbow  trout  in  the  aged  sample  ranged  from  1 to  6 years  in  age  (Figure  5.3).  Wide  variations  in  the  size  of  Age  2 
fish  suggested  the  presence  of  distinct  sub-populations  (c.g.,  some  of  these  fish  may  spend  part  of  their  life  cycle  in 
the  lower  reaches  of  the  Highwood  and  Sheep  rivers).  Similar  to  brown  trout,  rainbow  trout  protected  by  the  current 
angling  regulations  (i.e.,  fish  larger  than  380  mm  in  fork  length)  were  mostly  represented  by  fish  of  Age  3 and  older. 

Mountain  whitefish  ages  ranged  from  1 to  13  years  in  age  (Figure  5.3).  Growth  rates  were  rapid  until  Age  2 and 
slower  to  Age  5.  After  Age  5,  little  growth  occurred.  Mountain  whitefish  protected  by  the  current  angling  regulations 
(i.e.,  fish  smaller  than  280  mm  in  fork  length)  were  mostly  represented  by  fish  of  Age  2 and  younger.

5.5  FISH  INJURY  INDICES 

Data  on  the  incidence  of  injuries  in  fish  sampled  in  the  liow  River  were  collected  in  2()00  to  assess  the  etTects  of 
angling  on  fish  health,  and  to  compare  with  previous  studies  (C  ourtney  Rl.iiiL  2000).  Injurv  rates  for  all  species 
in  the  small  size-class  were  low  (<10%;  Appendi.x  li.  Table  liO);  however,  they  were  higher  than  those  reponed  m 
1999  (<5%,  both  species).  In  the  medium  size-class,  one-third  of  the  rainbow  trout  were  injured,  but  rates  were  low 
in  brown  trout  and  mountain  whitefish  (<7%).  The  majority  of  recorded  injuries  were  associated  with  the  larger 
size-classes  of  brown  trout  (21%),  rainbow  trout  (45%),  and  mountain  whitefish  ( 10“o)  that  were  most  \ulncrable 
to  angling  pressure. 

Hooking  related  injuries  (_jaw,  gill,  head,  or  eye;  Table  5. 1 , Appendix  B,  Table  B9)  in  2000  accounted  for  more  than 
91%  of  all  injuries  recorded  in  large  brown  trout,  rainbow  trout,  and  47%  of  large  mountain  w hitefish  injuries.  The 
incidence  of  hook  related  injuries  in  the  large  rainbow-  trout  was  approximately  double  of  those  recorded  in  pre\  ions 
studies  (1990-92,  1999  data).  The  second  most  common  injury  type  in  mountain  whitefish  and  rainbow  trout  during 
the  present  study  was  attributed  the  electrical  current  applied  during  sampling.  The  severity  indices  recorded  of 
injuries  arc  summarized  in  Table  5.1  and  in  Appendix  B,  Table  B9.  Injuries  due  to  hooking  were  frequently 
categorized  as  more  severe  than  injuries  caused  by  disease,  predation  and  electrofishing.

The  overall  incidence  of  injuries  in  2000  was  highest  in  rainbow  trout  (28.5%)  and  considerably  lower  in  brown  trout 
and  mountain  whitefish  (12.8  and  5.2%,  respectively).  These  injury  rates  were  higher  than  those  recorded  in  1999 
(23.0%,  6.2%,  and  3.0%  for  rainbow  trout,  brown  trout,  and  mountain  whitefish,  respectively;  RL&L  2000).  The 
increase  in  injury  rates  may  be  attributed  to  more  intensive  recording  procedures  during  the  present  sampling  program 
and/or  increased  angling  pressure  in  the  lower  section  of  the  Bow  River.

6.0  POPULATION  ESTIMATES 

Brown  trout,  rainbow  trout,  and  mountain  whitcfish  population  estimates  tor  the  lower  liow  Ki\er  were  ealeulaied 
using  both  the  Darroeh  estimator  and  the  Null  method  (see  Section  2.4.3).  This  allowed  comparisons  to  the  studies 
in  1982-1992  (Darroeh  estimator)  and  1990-1992  (Null  method).  Both  estimates  were  based  on  the  same  mark  and 
recapture  data  (summarized  in  Table  6.1);  they  were  calculated  .separately  tor  each  size-class  and  species.  The 
detailed  encounter  hi.stories  generated  from  the.se  data  and  used  as  input  tiles  tor  the  MARK  sot'tuare  are  presented 
in  Appendix  C,  Table  C 1 .

In  total,  264  brown  trout,  406  rainbow  trout,  and  599  mountain  whitcfish  were  marked  during  the  study.  Recapture 
rates  were  similar  between  species  and  size-classes  and  ranged  from  3.4%  (brown  trout  150-250  mm  sizc-cla.ss)  to 
10.6%  (rainbow  trout  >380  mm).  Using  all  size-classes  combined,  the  recapture  rate  was  highest  for  rainbow  trout 
(7.1%ofmarked  fish),  intermediate  for  mountain  whitefish  (5.4%),  and  lowest  for  brown  trout  (4.5%).  The  recapture 
rates  for  rainbow  trout  and  mountain  whitefish  in  2000  were  similar  to  those  reported  in  1999;  however,  the  brown 
trout  recapture  rate  in  2000  was  approximately  three  times  lower  than  in  1999  (12.1%;  RL&L  2000).  The  rea.sons 
for  this  decrease  in  the  brown  trout  recapture  rate  are  unknown,  but  may  be  related  to  low  flows  and  or  fish 
movements  to  other  sections.  The  population  estimates  derived  from  the  mark-recapture  statistics  are  presented 
separately  for  each  species  in  the  following  subsections.

6.1  BROWN  TROUT 

The  population  estimates  for  all  size-classes  of  brown  trout  within  the  4-km  study  section  in  the  Bow  River  derived 
using  both  the  Darroch  and  Null  methods  were  very  similar  (2638  and  2696  fish,  respectively;  Table  6.2).  The  low 
recapture  rate  of  4.5%  (Table  6. 1 ) resulted  in  higher  coefficients  of  variation  (i.e.,  standard  error  as  a percentage  of 
the  estimate)  and  wider  95%  confidence  intervals  around  the  estimate  than  in  previous  studies.  As  in  1 999,  the  brown 
trout  population  within  the  study  section  was  primarily  composed  of  juveniles  between  150  and  250  mm  and  adults 
larger  than  388  mm  in  fork  length,  with  the  intermediate  size-class  (25 1 -388  mm)  poorly  represented.  This  bimodal 
distribution  of  the  brown  trout  size-classes  was  also  suggested  by  the  length-frequency  histogram  (Figure  5.1).

The  2000  brown  trout  population  estimates  are  compared  to  the  1982-1992  and  1999  estimates  (calculated  by  the 
Darroch  method)  in  Figure  6.1  and  to  the  1990-1992  and  1999  estimates  (calculated  by  the  Null  method)  in 
Figure  6.2;  the  data  used  to  generate  these  figures  are  summarized  in  Appendix  C,  Tables  C2  and  C3.  Adult  brown 
trout  (>388  mm  in  fork  length)  appeared  to  have  increased  in  abundance  through  the  early  1980s  and  then  decreased 
in  the  early  1990s.  The  current  population  estimate  (202  fish/km)  suggests  that  this  size-class  is  nearly  twice  as 
abundant  as  the  maximum  estimate  from  previous  years  (117  fish/km  in  1 999;  RL&L  2000).  This  increase  was  likely 
an  artifact  caused  by  lower  recapture  rates  in  2000  relative  to  1999  (5.9%  and  14.8%,  respectively).  Contrary  to  the 
results  of  the  population  estimates,  the  CPUE  values  (Section  4.2)  indicated  a decrease  in  adult  brown  trout  catch 
rates  between  1999  and  2000.  These  differences  may  be  related  to  a decrease  in  available  holding  habitat  between 
1999  and  2000  (i.e.,  due  to  reduced  flows,  large  brown  trout  were  moving  out  of  the  study  area  in  search  of  suitable 
habitat). 

The  population  estimates  for  the  small  and  intermediate  size-classes  of  brown  trout  (150-250  mm  and  251-388  mm) 
indicated  an  increase  in  abundance  in  2000  relative  to  1 999  by  approximately  three  and  four  times,  respectively. 
Although  the  magnitude  of  these  increases  in  population  size  may  be  exaggerated  due  to  lower  recapture  rates  in  2000 
compared  to  1999,  corresponding  increases  in  CPUE  values  also  suggest  that  juvenile  brown  trout  did  increase  in 
abundance.

6.2  RAINBOW  TROUT 

The  2000  population  estimates  for  all  size-elasses  of  rainbow  trout  within  the  4-km  study  section  in  the  Bonn  Kiser 
derived  using  both  the  Darroeh  and  Null  methods  were  very  similar  (2724  and  2735  fish,  respectisely;  Table  6.3). 
Both  estimates  were  considerably  higher  than  those  reported  in  1099  (S95  and  903,  respectisely;  Kl.«i.:l.  2000).  This 
increase  was  attributed  mostly  to  the  increased  abundance  of  the  small  and  intermediate  size  cla.s.ses  ( 1 50-3K0  mm), 
which  were  poorly  represented  in  the  catch  in  1 999.  The  current  estimates  indicate  that  the  ramboss  trout  smaller  than 
380  mm  in  fork  length  contributed  over  72%  to  the  population  svithin  the  study  area;  the  corresponding  proportion 
in  1999  was  approximately  7%.

The  2000  rainbow  trout  population  estimates  arc  compared  to  the  1982-1992  and  1999  estimates  (calculated  by  the 
Darroeh  method)  in  Figure  6.3  and  to  the  1990-1992  and  1999  estimates  (calculated  by  the  Null  method)  in 
Figure  6.4;  the  data  used  to  generate  these  figures  arc  summarized  in  Appendix  C,  Tables  C2  and  C3.  The  population 
estimates  of  rainbow  trout  in  the  small  and  intermediate  size-classes  were  substantially  higher  in  2000  than  in  1999. 
In  contrast,  the  population  estimate  for  adults  was  only  slightly  higher  in  2000  than  in  1999.  The  increa.se  in 
population  levels  of  the  small  and  intermediate  size-classes  may  be  due  to  successful  recruitment  in  1999  and  or 
increased  capture  efficiency  for  small  fish  due  to  reduced  flows  encountered  during  the  present  study  (see  Section 
3.0).  The  increase  in  the  number  of  rainbow  trout  for  each  size-class  between  1999  and  2000  is  also  supponed  by 
the  corresponding  increase  in  CPUE  values  (Section  4.2).  The  population  estimate  for  all  size-classes  (684  fish  km), 
was  within  the  range  of  population  estimates  recorded  between  1990  and  1999  (298  to  1357  fish  km). 

6.3  MOUNTAIN  WHITEFISH 

The  population  estimates  for  all  size-classes  of  mountain  whitcfish  within  the  4-km  study  section  in  the  Bow  River 
derived  using  both  the  Darroeh  and  Null  methods  were  very  similar  (1143  and  1 154  fish,  respectively;  Table  6.4). 
The  9 5%  confidence  interv'als  around  the  estimate  were  relatively  wide  due  to  the  low  recapture  rate  of  5.4% 
(Table  6.1).  The  current  population  estimates  indicated  that  fish  in  the  intermediate  size-class  (200-280  mm)  were 
more  abundant  than  fish  larger  than  280  mm.

The  2000  mountain  whitefish  population  estimates  calculated  using  the  Darroch  estimator  and  the  Null  method  are 
compared  to  those  from  1 999  (Appendix  C,  T ables  C2  and  C3).  Mountain  whitefish  population  estimates  for  the  large 
size-class  (>280  mm  in  fork  length)  were  higher  in  2000  than  in  1999,  but  were  lower  for  the  intermediate  size-class 
(200-280  mm  in  fork  length).  The  small  size-class  (150-199  mm  in  fork  length)  was  not  evaluated  in  1999.  The 
increase  in  the  large  size-class  abundance  between  1999  and  2000  was  likely  due  to  the  passage  of  a strong  1998 
cohort.  This  cohort  likely  contributed  to  the  high  abundance  of  intermediate  size-class  identified  in  1999  and  the 
large  size-class  in  2000. 

6.4  FISH  MOVEMENTS 

One  of  the  assumptions  of  population  estimates  derived  through  the  mark-recapture  methodologies  is  closure.  This 
is  defined  as  absence  of  fish  movements  out  of  the  study  area  during  the  study  period  (White  et  al.  1 982).  The  closure 
assumption  was  violated  during  the  present  study  because  the  upstream  and  downstream  boundaries  of  the  study  area 
were  open  to  fish  movement  (i.e.,  they  could  not  be  physically  blocked  due  to  the  large  size  of  the  river).  To 
determine  the  potential  effects  of  this  violation  on  population  estimates,  movement  of  individual  fish  out  of  the  study 
area  was  assessed  on  the  basis  of  distance  travelled  between  each  marking  and  recapture  event  for  all  recaptured  fish 
(identified  through  tag  numbers  or  fm  clips  that  corresponded  to  capture  locations). 

The  majority  of  brown  trout  (9 1 .7%),  rainbow  trout  (72.4%),  and  mountain  whitefish  (59.5%)  were  recaptured  within 
the  same  section  where  they  were  originally  marked  and  released  (Figure  6.5).  One  of  12  recaptured  brown  trout 
(8.3%)  moved  2 km  upstream  of  its  release  location.  Eight  of  29  rainbow  trout  were  recaptured  one  to  three 
kilometres  away  from  the  release  locations;  the  direction  of  these  movements  appeared  random  (five  upstream  and 
three  downstream).  In  contrast  mountain  whitefish  movements  showed  a downstream  trend  with  35%  of  recaptures 
occurring  one  to  three  kilometres  downstream  of  the  original  capture  locations.  Of  note  was  one  mountain  whitefish 
originally  tagged  in  the  Carseland  Canal  on  1 1 October  1999  (Orange  Floy  Tag  No.  1081).  This  fish  was  recaptured 
in  the  canal  during  the  Trout  Unlimited  fish  rescue  operations  and  released  in  the  Bow  River  on  20  October  1999, 
and  subsequently  recaptured  in  the  present  study  area  on  22  August  2000.

The  above  movement  results  were  obtained  from  fish  that  moved  but  remained  within  the  study  area  (i.e.,  fish  that 
moved  out  of  the  study  area  were  not  included  in  the  calculations);  therefore,  they  should  be  treated  as  indices  of 
movement  rather  than  direct  estimates  of  movement.  By  assuming  that  the  number  of  fish  that  leave  the  study  area 
is  proportional  to  the  calculated  movement  indices  of  fish  that  remain  within  the  study  area,  it  was  possible  to 
estimate  the  number  of  fish  that  left  the  area  during  the  study  period  (Table  6.5).  In  each  study  section,  the  number 
of  fish  that  left  the  study  area  was  based  on  the  total  number  of  fish  marked  in  this  section  and  the  percent  of  fish  that 
would  have  left  as  determined  by  the  movement  indices  and  the  location  of  the  section  relative  to  the  study  area 
boundaries.  For  example,  8.3%  of  brown  trout  moved  2 km  upstream  from  their  release  locations;  therefore,  this 
proportion  was  applied  to  the  total  number  of  fish  marked  in  Sections  1 and  2 to  calculate  fish  “escapes”  through  the 
upstream  boundary  (6  and  4 fish,  respectively),  but  was  not  applied  to  fish  marked  in  Section  3 because  the  upstream 
migrants  could  potentially  be  recaptured  in  Section  1 (still  within  the  study  area).

Based  on  the  above  rationale,  it  was  estimated  that  4.0%  of  brown  trout,  10.4%  of  rainbow  trout,  and  16.5%  of 
mountain  whitefish  left  the  study  area  during  the  population  assessment  period.  This  out-migration  would  bias  the 
population  estimates  upwards  relative  to  the  estimates  that  would  have  been  obtained  with  total  closure.  However, 
because  the  previous  studies  reported  similar  indices  of  trout  movement  out  of  the  study  area  during  1990-1999 
(2  to  8%  for  brown  trout,  6 to  13%  for  rainbow  trout,  17%  for  mountain  whitefish),  the  biases  caused  by  out- 
migration were  relatively  constant.  As  such,  they  would  have  little  effect  on  the  overall  trends  in  population  estimates 
recorded  during  the  past  decade.
