Abstract:

The South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project, the largest wetland restoration project in the western United States, is conducting an adaptive management experiment to restore tidal flows to the tidally muted pond A8 complex. The A8 pond complex is a series of interconnected ponds (A8, A7, and A5) located at the interface of the Guadalupe River with Alviso Marsh in Lower South San Francisco Bay that has had a legacy of mercury contamination from cinnabar open-pit mining in the Guadalupe River watershed. As a result, restoration of salt pond habitats in the Alviso Marsh has taken an adaptive management approach whereby fish populations, water and sediment were monitored for mercury contamination before and after restoration actions and data was used to inform further restoration actions in the A8 complex.

In this study, UC Davis conducted fish sampling to collect 2-sentinel species, the Three-spine Stickleback and Mississippi Silverside to assess whole-body mercury concentrations. Fish were collected seasonally (4-5 surveys-year) from spring 2014 through winter 2017 at two slough locations exchanging water with the A8 complex, one in upper Alviso Slough (ALSL-2) at the Alviso Municipal Marina boat launch and on in lower Alviso Slough (ALSL-3) near the pond A7 water control structure, and in two reference sloughs, Artesian/Mallard Slough just downstream from the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility outfall and Guadalupe Slough at the confluence with the Sunnyvale Wastewater Treatment Plant. Fish sampling consisted of beach seine, minnow trap and fyke netting with various levels of effort to capture the requisite number and size of sentinel fishes. Therefore, much of the sampling efforts were not conducted in a manor conducive of making fish abundance or species assemblage comparisons amongst the sampling locations.

In addition to the slough sampling, we sampled for fish in tidal muted ponds A8, A7, A5, A3N, A3W and A16 from spring 2014 through winter of 2016 and added sampling in tidal restored ponds A6, A17, A19, A20 and A21 from summer 2015 through spring 2016 to facilitate comparisons of species assemblage among tidal sloughs, tidal restored ponds and tidal-muted/managed ponds.

CodeFyke
DefinitionA fyke net is a type of fish trap. It consists of long cylindrical netting bag usually with several netting cones fitted inside the netting cylinder to make entry easy and exit difficult. This net is then mounted on rigid rings or other rigid framework and fixed on the sea bed by anchors, ballast or stakes It also has wings or leaders to help guide the fish towards the entrance of the bag. They are commonly used in estuaries or inshore shallow water.

Description:

Fish sampling was conducted using a variety of sampling gears and techniques. However, due to the need to collect the requisite number and size of sentinel species in each seasonal survey and location, sampling was not standardized sufficiently in all surveys and locations. Most of the samples were collected using beach seines, while we also sampled fish using minnow traps and fyke nets.

Fish sampling was conducted seasonally (4-5 surveys per year) from spring 2014 through winter 2017 at two slough locations exchanging water with the A8 complex, one in upper Alviso Slough (ALSL-2) at the Alviso Municipal Marina boat launch and on in lower Alviso Slough (ALSL-3) near the pond A7 water control structure, and in two reference sloughs, Artesian/Mallard Slough just downstream from the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility outfall and Guadalupe Slough at the confluence with the Sunnyvale Wastewater Treatment Plant. During three seasonal surveys (summer and fall 2015 and winter-spring 2016) we also sampled sites within muted-tidal and full-tidal restoration ponds.

Upon retrieval of the sampling gear, all contents were gently placed into 5-gallon plastic buckets with aeration and processed as quickly as possible to minimize any lethal impacts. When feasible, all fish and macro-invertebrates >10-mm were quantified and identified to species while smaller invertebrates <10-mm (amphipods, isopods, and mysid shrimp) were given a rank abundance from 0 to 5 (0=absent, 1 = 1-3, 2 = 4-10, 3 = 11-50, 4 = 51-100 and 5 = >100 individuals). For each species of fish, a sub-sample (N =30) were measured for standard length and returned to the water. At each slough site up to 48 Mississippi Silverside (45-75 mm-TL) and 15 Three-spine Stickleback (25-50 mm-TL) were collected and used as sentinel species of mercury contamination in the Alviso Marsh. All sampling was conducted under a scientific collecting permit (SC-5412) issued to Dr. James Hobbs. All fish handling was conducted by trained staff under IACUC protocol #19412.

Water quality was recorded at each site with a handheld YSI Pro 2030. Water quality parameters included, temperature (°C), salinity (parts-per-thousands-ppt), conductivity (micro-siemens-μm), dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L) and saturation (%). Water clarity was measured with a Secchi (meter stick with a white disk mounted to the bottom) in cm.

Sampling Gear

Over the course of the study, we used 4 different beach seine nets. In survey year 2014, we used a 100-ft length, 4-ft depth, knotless delta 1/4 in mesh beach seine with 4'x4'x4' bag or a 50-ft length,4-ft depth, knotless delta 1/8 mesh bagless seine. From 2015-2018, we used a 100-ft length, 4-ft depth knotless delta 1/8 mesh with 4'x4'x4' bag or a 100-ft length, 6-ft depth, knotless delta 1/8 mesh with 6'x6'x6' bag. At each site, from 1 to 14 replicate seine hauls were conducted in an arc perpendicular to the shore to a depth of approximately 1.5-m. In survey year 2014 and the first two surveys of 2015 we used Gee minnow traps with 9-in by 17-1/2-in, ¼-in galvanized steel wire, 1-in openings on either side in muted-tidal ponds baited with Friskies catfood (seafood variety) that were allowed to soak overnight. We also used a Fyke net with 4-ft x 5-ft aluminum frame, with 3/8-in #126 knotless netting with 50-ft wings also allowed to sample over night.
