Abstract:
 
North Bay Aqueduct Larval/juvenile fish sampling March-July (1992-2004) This survey has two major foci: 1) Estimate and evaluate larval delta smelt loss at the State Water Project%26#226;%26#128;%26#153;s North Bay Aqueduct (NBA) due to entrainment and 2) Monitor abundance and distribution of larval delta smelt in the Cache Slough Complex and near Prospect Island. Prospect Island is a CALFED habitat restoration site and this sampling is used to evaluate whether delta smelt would use this site for spawning habitat. Future restoration of Prospect Island will warrant additional monitoring stations. The presence of delta smelt larvae in Barker Slough (Part of the Cache slough complex leading to the NBA) is a criterion for restrictions on NBA pumping. The 1995 Delta Smelt Biological Opinion mandates monitoring at the three Barker Slough stations in Barker Slough and the surrounding areas on a %26quot;recent-time%26quot; (within 72 hours) basis, posting delta smelt information on the world wide web so that interested parties may use this information for water management decisions. Data collected: Water temperature, surface electro-conductivity, water transparency, water volume sampled, tidal stage, sample time, tow depth, bottom depth, and fish catch.

Description:
Field sampling:
The North Bay Aqueduct Survey net uses a cone shaped net 3.35 meters in length with a mouth area of 0.37 m2. The net itself is composed of 505 %26#194;%26#181;m NitexR and is mounted on a fixed metal tube frame with skids. The net is connected to the frame by a canvas mouth. A Flowmeter is mounted across the net%26#226;%26#128;%26#153;s mouth to estimate the water volume filtered.
