Lost River Suckers (LRS) Are Surgically Implanted With Trackers
Detailed Description
Ramona Rapp is preparing the surgery station where adult Lost River suckers are surgically implanted with acoustic telemetry transmitters. This study is being conducted to understand seasonal survival and habitat use of Lost River suckers in Upper Klamath Lake. The information will be used to help determine what restoration activities will most benefit these highly endangered fish.

Effect of oxygenation and location on survival and growth of endangered Lost River Suckers in net pens Effect of oxygenation and location on survival and growth of endangered Lost River Suckers in net pens
Acclimation of captively reared fishes to their release environment through soft releases and cage culture can improve survival. Recovery strategies for imperiled Lost River Suckers Deltistes luxatus includes soft releases of captive reared juveniles in net pens in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. However, intermittent and sometimes extreme hypoxia in the lake can reduce juvenile fish...

Predation of Lost River and Shortnose suckers by piscivorous colonial waterbirds in the Upper Klamath Basin: An analysis of predation effects during 2021–2023 Predation of Lost River and Shortnose suckers by piscivorous colonial waterbirds in the Upper Klamath Basin: An analysis of predation effects during 2021–2023
Previously published research indicated that predation by piscivorous colonial waterbirds in the Upper Klamath Basin was a source of mortality for Lost River suckers (Deltistes luxatus) and Shortnose suckers (Chasmistes brevirostris), including mortality of Sucker Assisted Rearing Program (SARP) fish. Avian predation on recently released Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the...

Validating a non-lethal method of aging endangered juvenile Lost River and Shortnose Suckers Validating a non-lethal method of aging endangered juvenile Lost River and Shortnose Suckers
Populations of imperiled Lost River Deltistes luxatus and Shortnose Chasmistes brevirostris suckers in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, are experiencing long-term decreases in abundance due to limited recruitment of juvenile suckers into the adult populations. Researchers use estimated ages based on fin rays to study environmental factors affecting year-class formation, generate annual...

Water and endangered fish in the Klamath River Basin: Do Upper Klamath Lake surface elevation and water quality affect adult Lost River and Shortnose Sucker survival? Water and endangered fish in the Klamath River Basin: Do Upper Klamath Lake surface elevation and water quality affect adult Lost River and Shortnose Sucker survival?
In the western United States, water allocation decisions often incorporate the needs of endangered fish. In the Klamath River basin, an understanding of temporal variation in annual survival rates of Shortnose Suckers Chasmistes brevirostris and Lost River Suckers Deltistes luxatus and their relation to environmental drivers is critical to water management and sucker recovery. Extinction...

Populations of federally endangered Lost River (Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (Chasmistes brevirostris) in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, and Clear Lake Reservoir (hereinafter, Clear Lake), California, are experiencing long-term decreases in abundance. Upper Klamath Lake populations are decreasing not only due to adult mortality, which is relatively low, but also because they are...
