Dam removals allow fish to access habitats that may provide ecological benefits and risks, but the extent of fish movements through former dam sites has not been thoroughly evaluated for many species. We installed stationary PIT antennas in 2016 and 2017 to evaluate movements and survival of brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in the West Branch of the Wolf River (WBWR) in central Wisconsin following removal of two dams and channel modifications designed to promote fish movement. These changes provided access to lacustrine habitats that might provide suitable winter habitat or act as ecological sinks. We used multistate models to estimate transition probabilities between river sections, to determine whether brook trout: (a) moved between multiple river sections and (b) entered lacustrine habitats as seasonal refuges, but eventually returned to lotic habitat. We also used a Cormack‐Jolly‐Seber model to evaluate whether apparent survival of brook trout in the WBWR was comparable to other populations. Few fish moved among river sections or used lacustrine habitat (<5% of tagged fish); most brook trout remained in sections where they were initially tagged, potentially due to quality habitat located throughout the river. Like other studies, brook trout in the WBWR appear to experience high mortality based on low number of detections, few physical recaptures and an estimated eight‐month apparent survival rate of 0.27. In scenarios where fish can already access suitable habitat, removal of dams may not result in substantial increases in fish movement and colonisation of newly accessible habitat may not occur immediately.

威斯康星州沃尔夫河西支两座大坝拆除后的布鲁克鳟鱼 (Salvelinus fontinalis) 运动和存活

大坝拆除使鱼类能够进入可能提供生态效益和风险的栖息地,但尚未对许多物种通过前坝址的鱼类移动程度进行彻底评估。我们在 2016 年和 2017 年安装了固定 PIT 天线,以评估威斯康星州中部沃尔夫河 (WBWR) 西支河鳟鱼在拆除旨在促进鱼类运动的两个大坝和渠道改造后的运动和存活。这些变化提供了进入湖泊栖息地的途径,这些栖息地可能提供合适的冬季栖息地或充当生态汇。我们使用多状态模型来估计河段之间的转移概率,以确定鳟鱼是否:(a) 在多个河段之间移动和 (b) 作为季节性避难所进入湖泊栖息地,但最终还是回到了洛蒂克栖息地。我们还使用 Cormack-Jolly-Seber 模型来评估 WBWR 中溪鳟鱼的表观存活率是否与其他种群相当。很少有鱼在河段之间移动或使用湖泊栖息地(<5% 的标记鱼);大多数溪鳟鱼留在最初标记的部分,这可能是由于河流各处的优质栖息地。与其他研究一样,WBWR 中的鳟鱼似乎经历了高死亡率,这是因为检测到的数量少、物理重新捕获很少,并且估计 8 个月的表观存活率为 0.27。在鱼类已经可以进入合适的栖息地的情况下,拆除水坝可能不会导致鱼类运动的大幅增加,并且新进入的栖息地的定居可能不会立即发生。我们还使用 Cormack-Jolly-Seber 模型来评估 WBWR 中溪鳟鱼的表观存活率是否与其他种群相当。很少有鱼在河段之间移动或使用湖泊栖息地(<5% 的标记鱼);大多数溪鳟鱼留在最初标记的部分,这可能是由于河流各处的优质栖息地。与其他研究一样,WBWR 中的鳟鱼似乎经历了高死亡率,这是因为检测到的数量少、物理重新捕获很少,并且估计 8 个月的表观存活率为 0.27。在鱼类已经可以进入合适栖息地的情况下,拆除大坝可能不会导致鱼类运动的大幅增加,并且新进入的栖息地的殖民可能不会立即发生。我们还使用 Cormack-Jolly-Seber 模型来评估 WBWR 中溪鳟鱼的表观存活率是否与其他种群相当。很少有鱼在河段之间移动或使用湖泊栖息地(<5% 的标记鱼);大多数溪鳟鱼留在最初标记的部分,这可能是由于河流各处的优质栖息地。与其他研究一样,WBWR 中的鳟鱼似乎经历了高死亡率,这是因为检测到的数量少、物理重新捕获很少,并且估计 8 个月的表观存活率为 0.27。在鱼类已经可以进入合适的栖息地的情况下,拆除水坝可能不会导致鱼类运动的大幅增加,并且新进入的栖息地的定居可能不会立即发生。
