Tracking Lost River Suckers on Upper Klamath Lake, Klamath Falls, OR
Detailed Description
Chris Pullano and Evan Hockett setting out early morning to reconfigure acoustic telemetry receivers on Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Receivers were deployed under ice cover all winter to understand winter movements and habitat use by endangered Lost River suckers. This information will be critical to understanding causes of winter mortality for these rare 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...

Executive SummaryThe work reported in this publication provides updated data and interpretation for sampling years 2015 and 2022 of the juvenile monitoring project. The study objectives, background, study area, species description, and methods remained the same or similar throughout the years, while the executive summary, results, and discussion were updated each year. Therefore much of...

Radiotelemetry was used to investigate the summer distribution and diel habitat associations of endangered adult Lost River suckers Deltistes luxatus and shortnose suckers Chasmistes brevirostris in northern Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. From 2002 to 2004, Lost River and shortnose suckers were tracked by boat, and water depth and water quality were measured at each fish location. A series...
