Descrição

To maintain biological integrity, biological diversity, and native fish resources in Kenai Peninsula freshwater systems, we surveyed for invasive elodea in Kenai Peninsula lakes using rakethrow surveys.

Título Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Aquatic Invasive Species Surveys
Identificador https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/149924
Financiamento This work was funded by National Wildlife Refuge System Strike Team Funds.
Descrição da Área de Estudo The Study area was much of the northwestern Kenai Peninsula where most of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is situated, bounded by Tustumena Lake to the south, Cook Inlet to the west, Turnagain Arm to the north, and the Kenai Mountains to the east. This area is characterized by mixed boreal forest, wetlands, lakes, and streams. This region was described in detail by Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and US Fish & Wildlife Service, Alaska Regional Office, Division of Conservation Planning & Policy (2010).

Métodos de Amostragem

We selected 23 lakes to survey for elodea in 2023, mostly basing our selections on the prioritization of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Invasive Species Lake Prioritization (Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 2022). We also took into account recent pike surveys, avoiding lakes that had been surveyed for pike in the last 10 years or where surveys are planned for 2024. We collaboratively planned with our partners, openly sharing our survey schedule. We sought to keep the number of sites sampled per lake to between 30 and 60 sampling locations per lake. We related the range of lake perimeters in our study area to this range of sample sizes with the linear formula n = mp + b, where where n was the sample size, m was 2.4 km-1, p was the perimeter in km, and b was 27. This resulted in a range of sample sizes of 30 to 63 sampling locations per lake. To select sampling points we used a Quarto document that called R, version 4.2.3 (R Core Team, 2023) and used the R packages lwgeom, version 0.2-13 (Pebesma, 2023) and sf, version 1.0-12 (Pebesma, 2018; Pebesma and Bivand, 2023). We divided the lake perimeters into segments, one segment corresponding to a target sampling location in each lake. Our rake throw survey methods were similar to the examples of Fulkerson (2022a) and Fulkerson (2022b).

Área de Estudo Our target universe was the set of all waterbodies in the study area susceptible to invasion by non-native plants, particularly elodea. Our initial sample frame was the set of lakes in the vicinity of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. We considered individual lakes to be the sampling units.

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. Within each pre-determined lake segment, we selected a location where elodea would be most likely to occur based on our previous experience surveying for elodea on the Kenai Peninsula. Within the larger segments, we selected protected bays and avoided exposed points. We positioned our boat off of shore, usually a little farther from shore than the limit of dense emergent vegetation, often in about 1–2 m water depth.
  2. From the selected point the two observers threw the two rakes perpendicular to the shoreline: one rake thrown toward shore and the other out toward the center of the lake. After allowing the rakes to contact the bottom, both observers slowly and simultaneously pulled in the rakes, dragging them over the substrate. The rakes were carefully brought onto the boat, photographed, and the presence or absence of elodea was recorded. We also recorded depth, substrate types, and the presence of other aquatic plant species.
