17 Findings in Fall Creek The light transmission and thermocline were similar across years, and continue to suggest sediment resuspension following deep drawdown. The DO curve indicates higher oxygen demand in Fall Creek Reservoir. Zooplankton collections suggest strong seasonal dynamics with lower June abundance and higher August abundance in Daphnia.

18 Bioenergetics in Reservoirs Bioenergetics modelling can give us a way to predict changes in growth with changes in: Temperature Light Zooplankton including the overlap in these groups. Consumption EgestionExcretion Growth and Metabolism

19 Modelling Chinook Salmon Consumption of Daphnia ER z,t = (π 3.787 L 0.4747 z,t TL 0.9463 ) 2 z,t SS t PD z,t ER = Encounter Rate (prey per hour at depth z and diel time period t) L = Light (lux) TL = Total Length (of prey) SS = Swimming Speed PD = Prey Density (vertical distribution) Mazur and Beauchamp 2006 Search Volume Reaction Distance

20 Parameters for BioE Modelling Temperature strata Light extinction coefficient Predicted Chinook depth in June vs. August Optimal growth temp 15.5 °C (Jobling 1981) Prey densities (PD; Daphnia) at predicted depth Encounter rate (ER) at depth based on light Total volume available Optimal growth temperatures of Largemouth Bass 28.1 and 28.6 °C (Díaz et al. 2007) Rainbow Trout 16.5 to 17.2 °C (Jobling 1981)

23 Potential tradeoffs of deep drawdown: Decreased water clarity Via increased resuspension of fine sediments Decreased oxygen at depth Altered seasonal zooplankton availability Increased potential for spatial overlap of juvenile Chinook Salmon and zooplankton prey Potential for increasing growth rates Increased exposure to remaining warm water *predators* with contraction of temperature zones We expect resuspension to decrease across years, likely reducing these effects…
