Données sur le projet

To maintain biological integrity, biological diversity, and native fish resources in Kenai Peninsula freshwater systems through detection and then eradication of potential populations of northern pike and elodea, we initiated a survey for northern pike and elodea in Kenai Peninsula lakes.

Description du domaine détude / de recherche The Study area was much of the northwestern Kenai Peninsula where most of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is situated, bounded by Kachemak Bay 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).

Méthodes déchantillonnage

Our methods for this project were documented by Bowser and Davis (2024). We selected 16 lakes to survey for elodea in 2024, basing our selections on 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 elodea surveys, avoiding lakes that had been surveyed for pike in the last 10 years. We collaboratively planned our survey schedule with our partners. 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 , where where was the sample size, was 2.4 km-1, was the perimeter in km, and was 27. This resulted in a range of sample sizes of 30 to 63 sampling locations per lake. We divided the lake perimeters into segments, one segment corresponding to a target sampling location in each lake. To generate sampling segments we used a Quarto script (Bowser, 2024b) that ran R, version 4.3.3 (R Core Team, 2024) and loaded the packages gt, version 0.11.0 (Iannone et al., 2024); lwgeom, version 0.2-14 (Pebesma, 2024); and sf, version 1.0-16 (Pebesma, 2018; Pebesma and Bivand, 2023). The resulting table of coordinates was converted to GPS exchange format (GPX) using DNRGPS version 6.1.0.6 (https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/dnrgps, https://maps1.dnr.state.mn.us/dnrgps/index.html)

Etendue de létude 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.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. Our rake throw survey methods mostly follow Sethi et al. (2017). 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 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. From the selected point the two observers threw the two throw 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 and the presence or absence of elodea was recorded. We also recorded depth, substrate types, and the presence of other aquatic plant species. Data were entered into a Survey123 form (Bowser, 2024a).
  2. Elodea survey data were reformatted for publication to GBIF using a Quarto document (Bowser, 2025) that ran R, version 4.4.2 (R Core Team, 2024) and using the package sf, version 1.0-20 (Pebesma, 2018; Pebesma and Bivand, 2023).
