D.1 INTRODUCTION Annual indices of abundance for 13 species of finfish are based on data from the Longitudinal River Survey (LRS), Fall Juvenile Survey (FJS) and Beach Seine Survey (BSS). This appendix documents the methods used to calculate these indices of abundance and presents the indices from 1974 through 2005.
For each of the 13 species, one or more sampling programs were selected to be the basis for the index of abundance. The selections considered when and where each species was expected to be present in the Hudson River based on life-history characteristics of each species in relation to the times and places that sampling gear is deployed by each program. The selections were also based on observed catch rates from each of the three sampling programs.
The sampling programs on which the indices of abundance are based as well as the life stages and weeks selected for analysis are summarized in Table D-1.
The statistical methods used to estimate the annual indices of abundance are described in the following section. Summaries of the indices of annual abundance for the 13 species are presented in Figures D-1 through D-13 and Tables D-2 through D-14.
D.2 METHODS D.2.1 Beach Seine Survey Indices of abundance using data from the BSS were calculated for juvenile striped bass, white perch, American shad, bluefish, and spottail shiner; for yearling white perch; and for yearling and older white catfish. Weeks 33 to 40 were selected as the only period consistently sampled in the BSS. The Beach Seine Survey Index of abundance (B) for each year and species is a measure of catch per haul and is calculated according to the following formula:
Ct jiw 12 j Wi hiw 1 40 i =1 X ,
B =
n w=33 12 w
i =1 Wi where B = the BSS index for a species in a year; Ctjiw = the count of a species in sample j, region i, and week w; Xw = 1 if week w was sampled during the year, 0 otherwise; n = the number of weeks sampled in the year, 40
= Xw ;
w =33 hiw = the number of seine hauls in region i and week w; and Wi = the number of beaches in the sampling design in river region i.
D-3
The above equation can be expressed in terms of a weighted average catch per haul (CPH) as follows:
12 W Y 1 40 1 40 i wi B = Yw X w = i =112 Xw ,
n w = 33 n w = 33 W i
i =1 where Ywi = the average CPH in week w and region i and Yw = the weighted average CPH in week w.
Because not all weeks within the period of week 33 to 40 were sampled by the BSS in each year, the variance of the BSS index in any year is calculated as a two-stage variance. The primary sampling unit in the first stage is weeks, and the design is assumed to be simple random sampling (i.e., weeks of sampling are construed to be a random sample of weeks within the period from week 33 through week 40). The sampling units in the second stage are regions, and the design is stratified random where regions are the statistical strata. The variance is calculated using a two-stage estimator based on equation 11.24 in Cochran (1977, p. 303 ):
n 1
var (B ) =
N 2 1 n
S1 +
Nn w S 22,w ,
where S12 = the first stage variance (temporal, among weeks),
S 2 2 ,w
= the second stage variance (spatial) in week w, and N = the number of weeks (8) within the selected period, i.e., weeks 33 through 40.
The first stage variance component is estimated as:
(Yw B )
1 40 S12 =
2 n 1 w =33 The second stage variance component is estimated as:
D-4
1 2
Ct jiw Ct jiw 2 j 12 hiw j Wi (hiw )(hiw 1) i =1 S 22,w = .
2 12 Wi i =1 Then:
std. err.(B) = (var(B))1/2.
D.2.2 Fall Juvenile Survey Indices of abundance using data from channel sampling by the FJS were calculated for juvenile blueback herring, alewife, bay anchovy, weakfish, and rainbow smelt for the years 1979 through 2005, the years that the channel was sampled. In addition, indices of abundance based on bottom sampling by the FJS were calculated for juvenile hogchoker. Weeks 33 to 40 were selected as the only period consistently sampled in the FJS for channel sampling and weeks 40 to 43 for bottom sampling. The Fall Juvenile Survey Index of abundance (F) for each year and species sampled in gear specific for either the channel or the bottom is a measure of average density and is calculated according to the following formula:
Ct jiswg 12 3 j Vis v jiswg 1 40 i =1 s =1 Fg = j X ,
w n w=33 12 3 i =1 s =1 Vis where Fg = the FJS index (for gear g) for a species in a year; Ctjiswg = the count of a species in sample j from gear g, region i, stratum s, and week w; Xw = 1 if week w was sampled during the year, 0 otherwise; n = the number of weeks sampled in the year, 40
= Xw ;
w =33 vjiswg = the volume of sample j from gear g in region i , stratum s, and week w; and Visg = the volume of stratum s, sampled by gear g, in river region i.
D-5
The above equation can be expressed in terms of weighted average sample densities as follows:
12 3 40 si iswg 40 V Y 1 1 Fg = Ywg X w = i =1 12s =1 3 X w ,
Vsi n w=33 n w=33 i =1 s =1 where Yiswg = the average density of a species in samples from region i, stratum s, week w, and gear g and Y wg = the weighted average density of a species in samples from week w, and gear g.
Because not all weeks within the period of week 33 to 40 (or 40 to 43 for bottom sampling) were sampled by the FSS in each year, the variance of the FSS index of abundance in any year is calculated as the sum of two components. The primary unit in the first stage is weeks, and the design is assumed to be simple random sampling (i.e., weeks of sampling are construed to be a random sample of weeks within the period from week 33 through week 40 or from week 40 through week 43). The sampling units in the second stage are region-(habitat) strata, and the design is stratified random where region-(habitat) strata are the statistical strata. The variance is calculated using a two-stage estimator based on equation 11.24 in Cochran (1977, p. 303 ):
n 1
var(Fg ) =
N 2 1 S1, g + S22, gw ,
n Nn w where S12, g = the first stage variance (temporal, among weeks),
S 22, gw = the second stage variance (spatial) in week w, and N = the number of weeks (8 or 4) within the selected period, i.e., weeks 33 through 40 or weeks 40 through 43.
The first stage variance component is calculated as:
(Ywg Fg ) .
1 40 2 S12,g =
n 1 w=33 The second stage variance is calculated as:
D-6
hiswg (Ct jiswg C tiswg )2 j
hiswg 1 12 3 Visg2 i =1 s =1 2
vijswg j
S 22, gw = 2 12 3 V isg i =1 s =1 where Visg = the total volume of (habitat) stratum, s, and region, i, sampled by gear g.
Then:
std. err. (Fg) = (var(Fg))1/2.
D.2.3 Long River Survey Indices of abundance using data from the LRS were calculated for striped bass, white perch, American shad, Atlantic tomcod and rainbow smelt. For striped bass, white perch and American shad, the indices are based on the egg, yolk-sac larvae (YSL), and post yolk-sac larvae (PYSL) life stages and the weeks selected depend on the period of abundance. For Atlantic tomcod the index was based on PYSL and juveniles combined over weeks 19 through 22 and for rainbow smelt the index was based on the juvenile life stage in weeks 20 through 27.
The Long River Survey Index of abundance (L) for each year and species is a measure of average density and is calculated according to the following formula:
Ct jisw 12 5 j V
v jisw is lastwk i =1 s =1 L = j ,
w = firstwk 12 5 i =1 s =1 Vis where L = the LRS index for any species in any year; Ctjisw = the count of a species in sample j, region i, stratum s, and week w; vjisw = the volume of sample j from in region i , stratum s, and week w; Vis = the volume of stratum s in river region i; firstwk = the first week included in the annual index of abundance:
striped bass, American shad, and white perch egg, YSL, and PYSL -- the first week of the year in which the sum of weekly density estimates (from the initial week of sampling in the D-7
year through the current week) exceeds 5% of the sum of densities over all weeks of sampling, Atlantic tomcod PYSL and juveniles combined -- week 19, and rainbow smelt juveniles -- week 20; and lastwk = the last week included in the annual index of abundance:
striped bass, American shad, and white perch egg, YSL, and PYSL -- firstwk +7; Atlantic tomcod PYSL and juveniles combined -- week 22; and rainbow smelt juveniles -- week 27.
The above equation can be expressed in terms of average sample density as follows:
12 5 lastwk si isw lastwk V Y L = Y w = i =112s =1 5 ,
w = firstwk w = firtswk V si i =1 s =1 where Yisw = the average density of a species in samples from region i, stratum s, and week w [Note: for strata and regions that were not sampled, predicted densities (based on regression predictors and densities in adjacent strata) were used] and Yw = the weighted average density of a species in samples collected during week w.
Variance of the index was estimated using the following equation:
n (Ct jisw Ct isw ) 2 j
si n si 1 Vis2 s i 2
v jisw lastwk j var( L) = ,
w = firstwk 2
Vis s i where Vis = the total volume in region i and stratum s.
Then:
std. err.(L) = (var(L))1/2.

As indicated in Heimbuch et al. (1992), for indices based on LRS sampling, the volume of water between the beach and 10 ft deep was divided into two substrata: beach and shore. The beach stratum, defined from the beach to water five ft deep, corresponds with the shallow waters sampled in the BSS. The shore stratum, defined as water greater than five ft deep and less than 10 ft deep, is an unsampleable region. Densities in these substrata were estimated based on fixed ratios to the densities in adjacent strata.
