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 ).

River fish population assessment, August 2000.

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.

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
Page 5
Ki.&i KN\ IRONMKM \1 SKR\ ICKS I II).
>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.

3.0 RIVER CONDITIONS
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.

4.2 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%.

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.
