South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project – Phase-1 (2010-2012) Sentinel Species Health Monitoring.
The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Program (SBSPRP) is the largest wetland restoration project in the western United States, restoring approximately 15,000 acres of former salt evaporation ponds (southbaysaltpond.org) to benefit wildlife and fish populations. Restoration on a large scale comes with many risks and uncertainties. Therefore, restoration was planned in several phases, with an adaptive management approach and applied scientific studies to address the uncertainty of different restoration strategies. These strategies included breaching ponds to create fully tidal habitats, installing tide gates to create muted tidal habitats and active management of existing ponds. This mosaic of restoration designs was intended to benefit many species of salt marsh dependent biota, including birds, fish and mammalian species. The Longjaw Mudusucker (Gillichthys mirabilis) is a resident estuarine fish, ranging from Mexico to Humboldt Bay, California, USA, and is one of the most abundant fishes in high intertidal salt-marsh habitat. The Longjaw Mudsucker depends on high intertidal creeks in marshes dominated by pickleweed (Sarcocornia sp). The fish reside within burrows in soft sediments and is the only fish species that can remain in intertidal creeks during low tide when the creeks completely de-water. Longjaw Mudsucker have a wide tolerance range for salinity, up to 80-ppt and can be the only fish species to occupy industrial salt ponds in the San Francisco Estuary. In this study, UC Davis conducted minnow trap sampling in remnant pickleweed marshes and adjacent salt pond restorations to document the distribution, relative abundance, and condition (length-weight) of fish occupying these extant and restored habitats. During the pilot effort in late summer-fall of 2010 we conducted minnow trap sampling across a number of sites in the Alviso Marsh, Eden Landing Marsh, Ravenswood Marsh and Bair Island Marsh, sampling muted restoration ponds, tidal restoration ponds and remn
South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project – Phase-1 (2014-2017) Fish Sampling for Mercury Studies.
The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project, the largest wetland restoration project in the western United States, is conducting an adaptive management experiment to restore tidal flows to the tidally muted pond A8 complex. The A8 pond complex is a series of interconnected ponds (A8, A7, and A5) located at the interface of the Guadalupe River with Alviso Marsh in Lower South San Francisco Bay that has had a legacy of mercury contamination from cinnabar open-pit mining in the Guadalupe River watershed. As a result, restoration of salt pond habitats in the Alviso Marsh has taken an adaptive management approach whereby fish populations, water and sediment were monitored for mercury contamination before and after restoration actions and data was used to inform further restoration actions in the A8 complex. In this study, UC Davis conducted fish sampling to collect 2-sentinel species, the Three-spine Stickleback and Mississippi Silverside to assess whole-body mercury concentrations. Fish were collected seasonally (4-5 surveys-year) from spring 2014 through winter 2017 at two slough locations exchanging water with the A8 complex, one in upper Alviso Slough (ALSL-2) at the Alviso Municipal Marina boat launch and on in lower Alviso Slough (ALSL-3) near the pond A7 water control structure, and in two reference sloughs, Artesian/Mallard Slough just downstream from the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility outfall and Guadalupe Slough at the confluence with the Sunnyvale Wastewater Treatment Plant. Fish sampling consisted of beach seine, minnow trap and fyke netting with various levels of effort to capture the requisite number and size of sentinel fishes. Therefore, much of the sampling efforts were not conducted in a manor conducive of making fish abundance or species assemblage comparisons amongst the sampling locations. In addition to the slough sampling, we sampled for fish in tidal muted ponds A8, A7, A5, A3N, A3W and A16 from spring 2014 through winter of 201
South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project – Phase-1 (2014-2017) Steelhead Outmigration and Entrainment in the A8 Complex.
The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project, the largest wetland restoration project in the western United States, is conducting an adaptive management experiment to restore tidal flows to the tidally muted pond A8 complex. The A8 pond complex is a series of interconnected ponds (A8, A7, and A5) located at the interface of the Guadalupe River with Alviso Marsh in Lower South San Francisco Bay that has had a legacy of mercury contamination from cinnabar open-pit mining in the Guadalupe River watershed. As a result, restoration of salt pond habitats in the Alviso Marsh has taken an adaptive management approach whereby the A8 complex was constructed with operable tide gates to facilitate a stepped approach to opening the pond to tidal action. Fish populations, water and sediment were monitored for mercury contamination before and after opening the tide gates and data was used to inform further restoration actions in the A8 complex. However, Central Coast Steelhead Trout, a threatened species inhabit the streams that enter into the Alviso Marsh and the A8 complex, causing management concern for entrainment of outmigration smolts into the A8 complex. In this study, UC Davis conducted back-pack electrofishing in the streams that enter the Alviso Marsh during the late-fall winter of 2013 and 2014. The primary objective of the electrofishing was to collect Steelhead Trout juveniles prior to outmigration to tag with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags for detection of outmigration and potential entrainment into the A8 complex. In addition to the capture and tagging of Steelhead Trout, we collected data on water quality and catch of non-target fishes. To detect outmigration Steelhead Trout we installed a RFID stream antennae in the lower reaches of the Guadalupe River and to detect entrainment into the A8 complex we installed RFID antennas on the A8 water control structure. A total of 106 Steelhead Trout were captured during the two years of stream electrofishing, and 1
