description: As climate warms, tropical species are expanding their distribution to temperate ecosystems where they are confronted with novel predators and habitats. Predation strongly regulates ecological communities, and range-extending species that adopt an effective antipredator strategy have a higher likelihood to persist in non-native environments. Here, we test this hypothesis by comparing various proxies of antipredator and other fitness-related behaviours between range-extending tropical fishes and native-temperate fishes at multiple sites across a 730 km latitudinal range. Although some behavioural proxies of risk aversion remained unaltered for individual tropical fish species, in general they became more risk-averse (increased sheltering and/or flight initiation distance), and their activity level decreased poleward. Nevertheless, they did not experience a decline in body condition or feeding rate in their temperate ranges. Temperate fishes did not show a consistently altered pattern in their behaviours across range locations, even though one species increased its flight initiation distance at the warm-temperate location and another one had lowest activity levels at the coldest range location. The maintenance of feeding and bite rate combined with a decreased activity level and increased sheltering may be behavioural strategies adopted by range-extending tropical fishes, to preserve energy and maintain fitness in their novel temperate ecosystems.

description: In this contribution it is shown how closed formulas for anomalous dimensions of two classes of operators in N=4 SYM can be derived, either by investigating the numerics or on the basis of QCD-inspired assumptions. We discuss the case of twist three "gauge" operators in which a complete proof of reciprocity can be carried out.

description: We show that (n,2^n) additive codes over GF(4) can be represented as directed graphs. This generalizes earlier results on self-dual additive codes over GF(4), which correspond to undirected graphs. Graph representation reduces the complexity of code classification, and enables us to classify additive (n,2^n) codes over GF(4) of length up to 7. From this we also derive classifications of isodual and formally self-dual codes. We introduce new constructions of circulant and bordered circulant directed graph codes, and show that these codes will always be isodual. A computer search of all such codes of length up to 26 reveals that these constructions produce many codes of high minimum distance. In particular, we find new near-extremal formally self-dual codes of length 11 and 13, and isodual codes of length 24, 25, and 26 with better minimum distance than the best known self-dual codes.

description: We study the low-temperature regime of an atomic liquid on the hyperbolic plane by means of molecular dynamics simulation and we compare the results to a continuum theory of defects in a negatively curved hexagonal background. In agreement with the theory and previous results on positively curved (spherical) surfaces, we find that the atomic configurations consist of isolated defect structures, dubbed "grain boundary scars", that form around an irreducible density of curvature-induced disclinations in an otherwise hexagonal background. We investigate the structure and the dynamics of these grain boundary scars.

description: We consider the finite $W$-algebra $U(\g,e)$ associated to a nilpotent element $e \in \g$ in a simple complex Lie algebra $\g$ of exceptional type. Using presentations obtained through an algorithm based on the PBW-theorem, we verify a conjecture of Premet, that $U(\g,e)$ always has a 1-dimensional representation, when $\g$ is of type $G_2$, $F_4$, $E_6$ or $E_7$. Thanks to a theorem of Premet, this allows one to deduce the existence of minimal dimension representations of reduced enveloping algebras of modular Lie algebras of the above types. In addition, a theorem of Losev allows us to deduce that there exists a completely prime primitive ideal in $U(\g)$ whose associated variety is the coadjoint orbit corresponding to $e$.

title: Relationship of Certain Environmental Factors to Benthic Fish Densities in Bear Lake, Idaho-Utah
Creators: name: Hassler, Thomas J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1960

description: The project was initiated in June of 1958 and financed by the National Science Foundation and the Wildlife Management Department of Utah State University.
The broad aspects of the study were to determine if a relationship exists between certain physical and biological factors and benthic fish densities. The project vas divided into two parts: (l) to determine the time and extent of thermal stratification, zooplankton densities, conductivity changes within the lake and conductivity differences between the lake and its tributaries; (2) to determine it a relationship exist between benthic fish densities, temperatures, depths, conductivities and benthic zooplankton densities. The data were analyzed statistically and a separate regression analysis was run on each factor to determine the degree of relationship between that factor and benthic fish densities.

description: In this paper, we analyze problems involving matrix variables for which we use a noncommutative algebra setting. To be more specific, we use a class of functions (called NC analytic functions) defined by power series in noncommuting variables and evaluate these functions on sets of matrices of all dimensions; we call such situations dimension-free. In an earlier paper we characterized NC analytic maps that send dimension-free matrix balls to dimension-free matrix balls and carry the boundary to the boundary; such maps we call "NC ball maps". In this paper we turn to a more general dimension-free ball B_L, called a "pencil ball", associated with a homogeneous linear pencil L(x):= A_1 x_1 + ... + A_m x_m, where A_j are complex matrices. For an m-tuple X of square matrices of the same size, define L(X):=\sum A_j \otimes X_j and let B_L denote the set of all such tuples X satisfying ||L(X)||<1. We study the generalization of NC ball maps to these pencil balls B_L, and call them "pencil ball maps". We show that every B_L has a minimal dimensional (in a certain sense) defining pencil L'. Up to normalization, a pencil ball map is the direct sum of L' with an NC analytic map of the pencil ball into the ball. That is, pencil ball maps are simple, in contrast to the classical result of D'Angelo on such analytic maps in C^m. To prove our main theorem, this paper uses the results of our previous paper mentioned above plus entirely different techniques, namely, those of completely contractive maps.

title: Design of Shallow Wells for Drainage by Pumping, Lewiston Area, Utah
Creators: name: Pearson, Gregory L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1949

description: After approximately 25 years of using open drains in the Lewiston Area, Utah, the water table has not changed appreciably from what it was in 1921 when Hart and Adams (4) conducted their drainage investigations. It is still only about three feet below the ground surface. This is not effective drainage, meeting neither of the two primary drainage requirements of an arid or semi-arid agricultural region, namely; preventing an accumulation of excessive water within the depth of soil required for optimum growth of plant root systems, and maintaining the water table at a depth below the ground surface greater than the maximum height capillary water can rise, carrying any harmful salts that may be present in solution.

description: Two concepts of symmetry for the distributions of positive random variables $Y$ are log-symmetry (symmetry of the distribution of $\log Y$) and R-symmetry [7]. In this paper, we characterise the distributions that have both properties, which we call doubly symmetric. It turns out that doubly symmetric distributions constitute a subset of those distributions that are moment-equivalent to the lognormal distribution. They include the lognormal, some members of the Berg/Askey class of distributions, and a number of others for which we give an explicit construction (based on work of A.J. Pakes) and note some properties; Stieltjes classes, however, are not doubly symmetric.

title: Limnological Studies on Hyrum Reservoir, in Northern Utah
Creators: name: Rich, Royal A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1960

description: With an ever increasing fishing pressure on our natural and artificial lakes every measure possible must be taken to preserve the sport for its many thousands of participants.
Hyrum Reservoir is easily accessible to the fishermen of northern Utah. In recent years the lake has offered little in the way of fishing. It is hoped that the information accumulated in this study will help pave the way to a successful stocking program and that Hyrum Reservoir will be one of the productive fishing areas available to Utah anglers.
The objectives of this investigation were:
1. To determine the extent of area suitable to fish life at the critical seasons of the year.
2. To determine the chemical, physical and biological factors which may affect fish population numbers.
3. To study critical aspects in the ecology of the rainbow trout in the impoundment.

description: Lie group methods are used for the study of various issues related to symmetries and exact solutions of the barotropic vorticity equation. The Lie symmetries of the barotropic vorticity equations on the $f$- and $β$-planes, as well as on the sphere in rotating and rest reference frames, are determined. A symmetry background for reducing the rotating reference frame to the rest frame is presented. The one- and two-dimensional inequivalent subalgebras of the Lie invariance algebras of both equations are exhaustively classified and then used to compute invariant solutions of the vorticity equations. This provides large classes of exact solutions, which include both Rossby and Rossby--Haurwitz waves as special cases. We also discuss the possibility of partial invariance for the $β$-plane equation, thereby further extending the family of its exact solutions. This is done in a more systematic and complete way than previously available in literature.

title: Existing and Potential Outdoor Recreation Resources in Bear Lake Valley, Utah and Idaho
Creators: name: Black, Dennis H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1965

description: Providing adequate outdoor recreational opportunities to the public is now a national problem. Of the many influences affecting the demand for recreation, increased income, population increase, sociological changes, and rapidly increasing technological developments are the more important. In the face of these factors, we must plan better to insure sufficient future needs. This will require evaluation and development of many recreation opportunities.
The Bear Lake are of northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho is situated along U.S. 89 and within close driving distance of much of Utah's population. Up to the present there has been little orderly or planned development of Bear Lake. Nevertheless use of the area has been increasing, particularly for water-oriented sports. Many parties traveling through the area are on their way to the Northern parks, i.e., Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier, or from these parks to Salt Lake City and points south or west. Thus, if the Bear Lake area were developed to provide services to the tourist, economic benefit to the area may be increased.
To date, lakeside development by farmers has resulted in a "shanty" appearance, with old barns, sheds, and various log structures. No zoning regulations have been initiated for the lake shore areas. A local service group, the Bear Lake Improvement Association, is considering various ideas to improve the existing facilities as well as ideas for developing new facilities. The group's primary purpose at the present is to improve the lake's appearance by clean-up efforts and to advertise the area through the use of pamphlets and signs. This attempt may acquaint more people with the recreational opportunities and facilities offered in Bear Lake Valley.
Currently, the economy of the Bear Lake area is primarily agricultural. However, the limited amount of tillable soil and the short growing season greatly restrict the agricultural potential of the area. Additional income-producing endeavors of a recreational nature could be explored. The Bear Lake area has many undeveloped attractions which could be developed to draw tourists. Because of these opportunities, research has been undertaken to examine the possibility of expanded recreational development by private operation in the Bear Lake area.

description: Background and purpose — Artificial intelligence has rapidly become a powerful method in image analysis with the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We assessed the ability of a CNN, with a fast object detection algorithm previously identifying the regions of interest, to detect distal radius fractures (DRFs) on anterior–posterior (AP) wrist radiographs. Patients and methods — 2,340 AP wrist radiographs from 2,340 patients were enrolled in this study. We trained the CNN to analyze wrist radiographs in the dataset. Feasibility of the object detection algorithm was evaluated by intersection of the union (IOU). The diagnostic performance of the network was measured by area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Youden Index; the results were compared with those of medical professional groups. Results — The object detection model achieved a high average IOU, and none of the IOUs had a value less than 0.5. The AUC of the CNN for this test was 0.96. The network had better performance in distinguishing images with DRFs from normal images compared with a group of radiologists in terms of the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Youden Index. The network presented a similar diagnostic performance to that of the orthopedists in terms of these variables. Interpretation — The network exhibited a diagnostic ability similar to that of the orthopedists and a performance superior to that of the radiologists in distinguishing AP wrist radiographs with DRFs from normal images under limited conditions. Further studies are required to determine the feasibility of applying our method as an auxiliary in clinical practice under extended conditions.

description: We report on a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a $W$ or $Z$ boson in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV recorded by the CDF II experiment at the Tevatron in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb$^{-1}$. We consider events which have no identified charged leptons, an imbalance in transverse momentum, and two or three jets where at least one jet is consistent with originating from the decay of a $b$ hadron. We find good agreement between data and predictions. We place 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross section for several Higgs boson masses ranging from 110$\gevm$ to 150$\gevm$. For a mass of 115$\gevm$ the observed (expected) limit is 6.9 (5.6) times the standard model prediction.

description: We investigate the effect of Na intercalation in the layered Mott insulator TiOCl within the framework of density functional theory. We show that the system remains always insulating for all studied Na concentrations, and the evolution of the spectral weight upon Na doping is consistent with recent photoemission experiments. We predict the Na-doped superlattice structures, and show that substitutions of O by F, Cl by S, or Ti by V (or Sc), respectively, fail to metallize the system. We propose a description in terms of a multiorbital ionic Hubbard model in a quasi-two-dimensional lattice and discuss the nature of the insulating state under doping. Finally, a likely route for metallizing TiOCl by doping is proposed.

The third chapter describes an estimation of the accuracy of wastewater surveillance for detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 infected people. Chapter four details an investigation of a COVID-19 outbreak at a residential aged-care facility, while chapter five comprises a mixed-methods systematic review on the COVID-19 vaccine attitudes of racial and ethnic minorities. The sixth and final chapter includes a portfolio of my teaching commitments and other public health activities, including an FAQ on monkeypox following the outbreak in May 2022. I present each chapter with a reflective discussion of my role, my lessons learnt, and the projects' public health impacts.
Extrapolation, Localisation, and Enhancement of Spatial Audio Recordings for the Reproduction of Real-World Scenes
Creators: name: Birnie, Lachlan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis extends spatial audio toward the goal of recording real-world scenes and reproducing them in a manner that is perceptually indistinguishable from reality. Technological constraints such as the limited spatial resolution of commercial spherical microphone arrays still inhibit the complete recording, analysis, and reproduction of large sound scenes from being realised; where the listener can perceptually explore the re-synthesised environment. Hence, interest in advancing each facet of spatial audio continues to grow. Especially for techniques supporting immersive spatial sound in augmented and virtual reality applications. To this end, we develop novel methods to sound field reproduction, source localisation, and signal enhancement by exploiting the underlying spatial characteristics of acoustic environments. Our approach is to use the spherical harmonic solution to the classical wave equation and spatial features such as the relative transfer function through machine learning algorithms, in conjunction with commercially available spherical microphone arrays to realise practical solutions. We propose a building block for extrapolating and intermediately representing a recorded sound scene for spatial processing before reproduction, denoted as the mixedwave source distribution. The outcomes from this approach are: (i) enabling six degrees-of-freedom reproduction to sound field recordings by a single spherical microphone array, (ii) enhancing the binaural reproduction of recordings by estimating bilateral-ambisonics and rendering with ear-aligned HRTFs. An advancement to the popular MUSIC source localisation method is realised, where we attain robust direction and distance localisation by exploiting the recording environment's reverberation characteristics in a spatial model. We propose a machine learning algorithm to learn the acoustic path of an interfering noise source, such that the noise's signal can be removed for a spatial method to enhance low (below negative 10 dB) SNR recordings. In the future, the solutions in this thesis may complement each other in larger spatial audio exercises. For an example of recording a real-world scene and reproducing it binaurally; our spatial signal enhancement can first remove an unwanted noise source from the recording; primary sound sources such as people or instruments can then be localised with our spatial model; these sources and the environment can then be modelled by a mixedwave source distribution, thereby extending the perceptual range of motion for the listener in a six degrees-of-freedom spatial audio reproduction. Furthermore, we achieve this while maintaining the practical feasibility of using commercial spatial microphone technologies.

Numerical computation of nearly-optimal feedback control laws and optimal control programs
Creators: name: Longmuir, Alan Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: An investigation is made into the approximate synthesis of optimal feedback controllers from the maximum principle necessary conditions. The overall synthesis can be separated into two phases: the computation of optimal open-loop controls (control programs) and trajectories from the necessary conditions, and the processing of this data to obtain an approximate representation of the optimal control as a state function. A particular technique for approximating the optimal feedback control from the optimal open-loop controls and trajectories is proposed and examined in Part I of the thesis. Parameters in a prechosen suboptimal controller structure are computed such that a sum of integral square deviations between the suboptimal and optimal feedback controls is minimized. The deviations are computed and summed over a certain set of trajectories which "cover" the system operating region. Experimentation with various controller structures is quite feasible since the controller parameters are computed by solving linear algebraic equations. Examples are given to illustrate the application of the technique and ways in which suitable controller structures may be found. If general purpose functions are to be used for this purpose, piecewise polynomial functions are recommended and techniques for their use are discussed. The synthesis method advocated is evaluated with respect to control sensitivity and instrumentation and compared to alternative procedures. Part II is concerned with the computation of optimal control programs, the most time consuming numerical task in the synthesis procedure. A new numerical optimization technique is presented which extends the function space Newton-Raphson method (quasilinearization) to a more general terminal condition. More significantly, a generalized Ricatti transformation is employed, and as a consequence, the integration of the unstable coupled canonical system is eliminated. Examples are given as evidence of the improved numerical qualities of the new algorithm. This method is one example of a class of algorithms, defined and developed in the thesis, called second variation methods. Some methods in this class have previously appeared in the literature but they are developed in the thesis from a unified point of view. The recognition of this class allows the relationships between the various methods to be seen more clearly as well as allowing techniques developed for use in one algorithm to be used in others.
title: Stomach Capacity, Digestion Rate, and 24-Hour Consumption Rate for the Bear Lake Sculpin (Cottus Extensus)
Creators: name: Williamson, Joseph H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1970

description: A curvilinear regression model was used to determine an expected stomach capacity for any size Bear Lake sculpin with a standard length between 4-9.5 centimeters. Stomach contents were then expressed as a percent fullness and the change in percent fullness with time intervals was used to compute an instantaneous digestion rate. The instantaneous consumption rate was computed by the formula C=log P1-log P0 +d, where C=instantaneous consumption rate. The amount of food consumed during a time interval was computed from the formula It=CtSt, where It=amount of food ingested during a time interval expressed in percent fullness of stomach. The 24 hour consumption rate was computed by summing the consumption rates for 4 consecutive time intervals of 6 hours each.
Studies in September, December, and May give instantaneous digestion rates of -.424, -.214, and -.235 and total food consumption rates of 22.2, 10.2, and 6.1 percent of stomach capacity for each individual fish in the population.

description: Biomathematical models (BMMs) are parametric models that quantitatively predict fatigue and are routinely implemented in fatigue risk management systems in increasingly diverse workplaces. There have been consistent calls for an improved ‘next generation’ of BMMs that provide more accurate and targeted predictions of human fatigue. This article examines the core characteristics of next-generation advancements in BMMs, including tailoring with field data, individual-level parameter tuning and real-time fatigue prediction, extensions to account for additional factors that influence fatigue, and emerging nonparametric methodologies that may augment or provide alternatives to BMMs. Examination of past literature and quantitative examples suggests that there are notable challenges to advancing BMMs beyond their current applications. Adoption of multi-model frameworks, including quantitative joint modelling and machine-learning, was identified as crucial to next-generation models. We close with general recommendations for researchers, practitioners, and model developers, including focusing research efforts on understanding the cognitive dynamics underpinning fatigue-related vigilance decrements, applying emerging dynamic modelling methods to fatigue data from field settings, and improving the adoption of open scientific practices in fatigue research.
title: Soil Moisture as a Factor in Streamflow Forecasting for Logan River, Utah
Creators: name: Fok, Yu Kam
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Purpose
Forecasting the annual water supply in an arid area by using the water content of snow on watersheds on some particular date, such as April 1, has become a very useful practice. Although these forecasts have given results of great practical value, they have sometimes been considerably in error. Seeking to minimize error, forecasters have incorporated various additional data such as temperature and antecedent rain to improve the relation between snow measurement and measured runoff.
Numerous methods have been suggested in the search for a reliable streamflow forecasting equation and various data have been used. Nearly all of the methods made some improvements, but in the attempt to minimize the number of variables, perhaps full use has not been made of all the available data.
A successful streamflow forecasting method for Logan River, Cache County, Utah was suggested by Professor Cleve H. Milligan (11) and Dr. Rex L. Hurst. They utilized Fourier Series and Multiple Linear Regression as a mathematical model. In their study, four primary factors were used which are antecedent streamflow, temperature, precipitation, and snow survey data. This method has also been used in the forecasting for the Blacksmith Fork River, south of the Logan River, by Fok (5) with a high degree of accuracy. In his study, temperature and precipitation data were both measured outside the watershed and showed a lower degree of significance in the complete forecasting equation. If these data had been measured in the watershed they might have yielded greater significance in the forecasting equation. Perhaps a better factor than temperature and precipitation would be soil moisture data obtained on the watershed.
Objective
The major objective of this thesis is to develop a method for use of soil moisture data in an equation for streamflow forecasting for the Logan River in Northern Utah. Several Investigators have recognized the need for soil moisture data and for a method of including it in the forecasting equations (see literature review).
Study of the density structure and water flow in the upper 10 m. of a selected region in Bute Inlet, British Columbia.

description: An intense pycnocline at about 4 m. depth existed in Bute Inlet in August, 1967. This corresponded to the largest observed fresh water runoff into the head of the inlet. A major pycnocline above 10 m. depth was not observed in January, 1968, corresponding to small fresh water runoff. Correlating information derived from near-surface transverse and longitudinal sigma-t sections and drift pole plots with wind and tide data, the curvature of the inlet's lateral boundaries was found to influence the disposition of fresh water in any given transverse section. The direction of the surface layer flow was best related to the wind direction except in cases of high runoff when the wind only modulated the speed of outflow. The tide had remarkably little effect. Distinct changes in depth of the pycnocline along inlet were observed.Suggestions for future experiments are presented.
title: Breeding Biology and Pesticide-PCB Contamination of Western Grebe at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge

description: The breeding biology of western grebe was studied at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah in 1973 and 1974. More than 300 nests were located and data gathered on nesting habitat and success. Western grebe at Bear River selected nest sites for nearness to open water of approximately 30 em in depth. At least one young was hatching in 21 percent of the nests. Avian predation and abandonment of nests following drops in water levels caused the greatest loss of nests. Chlorinated hydrocarbons monitored in western grebes showed DDE, DDD, PCB, 1260, and PCB 1254 levels in 24 breast muscle samples (wet weight) to average 12. 8, 0. 8, 3. 8, and 3. 5 ppm respectively. Contaminant concentration was found to be correlated to the condition of the bird as determined by visceral fat content. A significant (p

description: We present the black hole solutions and analyse their properties in the superstring effective field theory with the Gauss-Bonnet curvature correction terms. We find qualitative differences in our results from those obtained in the truncated model in the Einstein frame. The main difference in our model from the truncated one is that the existence of a turning point in the mass-area curve, the mass-entropy curve, and the mass-temperature curve in five and higher dimensions, where we expect a change of stability. We also find a mass gap in our model, where there is no black hole solution. In five dimensions, there exists a maximum black hole temperature and the temperature vanishes at the minimum mass, which is not found in the truncated model.

title: Investigation of Selected Aspects of Kokanee (Onchorhynchus nerka) Ecology in Porcupine Reservoir, Utah, With Management Implications
Creators: name: Janssen, Paul Joel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: Several aspects of kokanee (Onchorhynchus nerka) ecology were studied in the fluctuating, 80ha Porcupine Reservoir, Utah in order to determine optimum management strategies. In 1981, escapement was enumerated and estimates of egg deposition were made . An estimate of the resulting fry recruitment was also attempted and was successful up to the arrival of spring runoff. In 1982, escapement was enumerated and estimates of egg deposition were made, with subsequent estimates of egg deposition and percent survival to the advanced eyed stage. Age and growth rates were determined and survival rates estimated.
Escapement for 1981 and 1982 was 5,463 and 7,113 kokanee, respectively, depositing an estimated 1,843,955 and 2,393,757 eggs, respectively._ The estimated fry recruitment to the reservoir for the 1981 spawning run was 57,000 fish up to the arrival of spring runoff and appeared to be only a fraction of the total number of fry in the river. From the 1982 spawning run, an estimated 2,265,507 eggs were actually deposited, of these an estimated 64.2% or 1,457,599 eggs were fertilized and survived to the advanced eyed stage. Kokanee growth rates were good. Fish mature and spawn at 34 months of age at an average total length of 364mm. Twelve month old kokanee average 124mm and 24 month old fish 257mm. The kokanee population continues to grow but at a decreasing rate and survival rates are declining. For every kokanee that estimated 8.2 progeny survived to spawn spawned in 1972, an in 1975 and for every spawning kokanee in 1979 an estimated 3.0 progeny survived to spawn in 1982.
The kokanee is presently underharvested and appears to be at or near the carrying capacity of the reservoir. In order to acheive an optimum sustainable yield the spawning population should be reduced and maintained at approximately 2,000 fish ( 1,000 redds).
title: Evaluation of Six Strains of Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri) Stocked as Fingerlings in Porcupine Reservoir, Utah

description: Different strains of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), Ten Sleep, Sand Creek, Beitey, Shepherd-of-the-Hills, New Zealand, Fish Lake- Desmet, Desmet, were compared for survival to the creel, growth and catchability after being stocked in a fluctuating 80 ha Utah reservoir . Fish were stocked in the spring and fall as fingerlings and monitored by creel censusing, gill netting and electrofishing. Fish were tagged with coded wire snout tags prior to stocking . An angler opinion survey was conducted to determine angler satisfaction with numbers and size of fish caught.
Regardless of strain, spring stocking was superior to fall stocking in survival to the creel. In the spring 78 stocking the Ten Sleep strain had the highest survival to the creel (33.7 percent), followed in order by Shepherd-of-the-Hills (11.0 percent), Beitey (5.5 percent), Sand Creek (5.4 percent), New Zealand (4.1 percent), and Fish Lake-Desmet (2 .9 percent). In the spring 79 stocking the Shepherd-of-the- Hills strain had the highest survival to the creel (7 .6 percent), followed in order by the Sand Creek (7.3 percent) and the Ten Sleep (6.5 percent). Similar trends in survival were found in gill netting and electrofishing samples. Migration out of the reservoir was negligible for each strain. There were no strain differences in catchability by different methods (shore, boat) or gear (bait, artificial lure). Differences in growth between the fastest growing strains (Ten Sleep, Sand Creek) and the slowest growing strains (New Zealand, Fish Lake-Desmet) averaged as great as 16 mm in length and 43 g in weight. Differences in growth and survival among strains were great enough to span the range of angler satisfaction with numbers caught and size of fish caught from satisfactory to unsatisfactory. Therefore, strain selection can be a useful tool to improve fingerling stocking programs and manipulate the number of anglers who are satisfied with the angling experience.
