NRC Requestfor Sampling Effort andAbundance Datafrom Three Hudson River Sampling Programs For 16 Selected Fish Species During 1974 through 2005 25 February2008 GeneralInformation NRC requested Hudson River fish abundance data in a call on 22 January 2008 with the intention of using these data to describe inter-annual trends in abundance (total catch) of 16 selected fish species (alewife, bay anchovy, American shad, bluefish, hogchoker, blueback herring, rainbow smelt, shortnose sturgeon, spottail shiner, Atlantic sturgeon, striped bass, Atlantic tomcod, white catfish, white perch, weakfish, and gizzard shad) for each of the three Hudson River (Long River) sampling programs (Beach Seine Survey, Ichthyoplankton Survey, Fall Shoals Juvenile Survey) by region, life stage, and year. The response variable will be the total count of each life stage of each fish species caught in each Hudson River geographic region in each year that the region was sampled by each of the three surveys. Corroborating data describing the effort (number of seine hauls, or number of tows and total volume sampled, as appropriate) for each Hudson River geographic region, week (river run) and year will be used to standardize the response variable (total count) for differences in effort within survey, region and year so that a relatively consistent sampling design is repeated from year to year and any changes in total count from year to year are not caused by inter-annual differences in the temporal or spatial distribution of effort or in the magnitude of that effort. A set of effort and catch tables was created in Excel (2003 version) for each of the three surveys to show the weekly allocation of actual samples (number of seine hauls or tows) and the associated catch collected in each region and year. These tables are intended to represent the catch and effort components used to produce the Appendix E tables previously provided to NRC in response to RFI #16, and will be comparable in layout to the Appendix E tables from the 2005 Year Class Report (YCR).
The effort tables were prepared in Excel for each of the three surveys showing the weekly effort (number of seine hauls or tows) in each region and year. For the volumetric samples (Fall Juvenile Survey and Ichthyoplankton Survey), these annual tables provide the total volume sampled in each week and region.
Each effort table is structured to compare the effort by week and region in that year. A design comparison table presents the actual number of samples taken in each week and region for each year, with color codes visually indexing the number of samples taken in each week by region cell. Three different shades of blue represent 1-5, 6-10, or 11-20 samples taken in a week and region. Four different shades of red represent 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, and more than 50 samples taken in a week and region. The color pattern of shading among the cells in one year describes the number of samples taken in each week and region within that year. For example, the row for the Cornwall Region (CW) in the 2005 Long River Beach Seine Survey (BS) Table I 1.BSDesignReview table found in the Read Me File Directory 25 Feb 08.xls workbook shows the same light blue color among the first three weeks (weeks 24, 26, and 28) representing 1-5 samples collected, and then the medium blue color indicates 6-10 samples were collected for the remaining seven weeks (weeks 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, and 42). If we would like to compare the consistency of the sampling design for the BS Survey in the Cornwall Region between 2005 and 1984,

then a quick look at the color patterns from CW in the two years reveals three differences: 1) there were eight sampling weeks (river runs) in 1984 compared to ten weeks in 2005, 2) the 1984 survey began in week 30 whil e the 2005 survey began in week 24, and 3) fewer samples (3 samples per week) were collected in the first three weeks (non-concurrent weeks 24, 26 and 28) of the 2005 survey, but the same sampling effort (6 samples per week) occurred during the concurrent weeks of both surveys. Shifts in schedule from year to year, as well as the introduction or removal of sampling weeks and changes in sample allocation, are readily observed by comparing the pattern of color from year to year within the same program (LR, FS, or BS). Changes in effort (number of samples) can be seen in the pattern of color*
shading for each year compared to 2005, with darker hues of red representing higher sample numbers and lighter hues of blue representing lower sample numbers.
The total catch tables were prepared in SAS and exported into Excel (2003 version) for each of the three surveys showing the weekly total catch by each life stage of each of the 16 selected species (and for all life stages of each species combined) in each region and year. Care was taken to adjust all fish count data up to the total catch when sub-sampling had occurred in the laboratory processing or when samples were~
partially processed in the field and completed in the lab. Each total catch table was configured in the same format as the effort tables, showing weeks as rows and Hudson River regions (0- 12 plus all regions) as columns. Having the same layout for the catch and effort tables facilitates comparison of catch and effort. It should be noted that, for some regions like the Indian Point Region of the Hudson River (River Miles 39-46), seasonal and inter-annual differences in salt front position may influence the pattern of trends in abundance described by total catch.
If the Hudson River fish community can be classified by salinity preference and tolerance into freshwater and brackish species, then the 13 static geographic regions along the length of the river between the Battery (River Mile 0) and Albany (River Mile 152) could be classified into those consistently brackish, those consistently freshwater, and those varying between brackish and freshwater both within each year and between years. We recommend that the Water Quality Data files already provided to the NRC be examined to establish a salinity habitat classification for each geographic region, and the results of this habitat classification should be used by NRC to interpret the influence of changes in salinity. distribution on the inter-annual pattern of total catch.
Data rile preparation Data files representing thirty two years of sampling served as input to this project. The overall objective was to prepare files for the Long River lchthyoplankton survey (LR), Fall Shoals Juvenile Survey (ES),
and Beach Seine Survey (BS) for the period 1974 through 2005. These files present the number of samples, the total volume sampled (for LR and FS), and the total catch for sixteen selected species of fish by life stage andiriver region, according to sample week, over the 32 year period.
Data included in the files were evaluated against a number of criteria. For example, only use code I samples (valid samples) were included in the resulting files. In addition, for ichthyoplankton, only samples selected for processing in the laboratory were included in the data presented.
The variable week (Sunday to Saturday) was assigned in SAS code, based on the date when the sample was taken. However, upon inspection of the resulting distribution of samples, it was evident that some samples were misclassified using this algorithm and assigned the previous or subsequent week. A review

of corresponding annual year class reports in cases where sample numbers did not appear to properly align with week boundaries allowed for the proper reassignment of week to these data. In most cases reclassification of Sunday dates was necessary to align the week to represent a completed survey, because the last date of sampling week occurred on Sunday to complete the previous week's sampling plan.
Gear Type Changes in gear type employed in each of the sampling programs are presented below in Table 1. Gear type changes should be taken into consideration when attempting to compare collections within a program type andacross program years, in particular for the Fall Juvenile program.

LRDesignReview provides some insight into the manner in which the Hudson River Ichthyoplankton program has been modified from 1974 through 2005. The Battery Region (river miles 0-
: 11) was not sampled until 1988, for example. Core weekly sampling is common in all years of the program, but early bi-weekly samples (targeting tomcod larvae) appear in earnest in 1995, and late biweekly samples (focusing on the bay anchovy population) were introduced in 1988. Clearly, these design changes represent the addition or reallocation of effort to characterize the ichthyoplankton population in time (weeks) and space (river regions).
The 2005 sample year is considered to be highly representative of the ichthyoplankton sampling program in recent years. With that in mind, a comparison can be made of all other sample years to the 2005 design, and the results of this comparison are found in the Table 9. LRDesignReview tab. The objective of this comparison was to provide a visual guide to the NRC indicating changes in where, when, or how many samples were collected and analyzed in each program, week, region and year so that their use of these data would be guided by knowledge of changes in the sampling design that may influence their interpretation of the results. Cell shading is used to compare the number of samples collected in each week and river region within a year. Three different shades of blue represent 1-5, 6-10, or 11-20 samples taken in a week and region. Four different shades of red represent 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, and more than 50

samples taken in a week and region. Changes in effort (number of samples) can be seen in the pattern of color shading for each year compared to 2005, with darker hues of red representing higher sample numbers and lighter hues of blue representing lower sample numbers. Because the assignment of week is based on date, shifts in sampling start dates can significantly affect the resulting design comparison.
Scrolling through the Design Review spreadsheet for the sampling programs provides a visual comparison in time and space of the sampling effort as compared to the 2005 design year, which is shown in a split screen view of each table at the bottom of the page.
Hudson River Fall Shoals Juvenile Survey 1974-2005 Table 10 in the accompanying Read Me File Directory 25 Feb 08.xis workbook file, tab Table 10.
FSDesignReview, provides a descriptive view of the Hudson River Fall Shoals (Juvenile) sampling program through time and space, in a manner similar to the ichthyoplankton file described above. In 1974 sampling was weekly and excluded the Battery Region of the river. From 1975 through 1995, bi-weekly sampling occurred, but the Battery Region was not included in the sampling plan. Fall Juvenile Survey samples in the Battery Region were added to the Fall Shoals program in 1996 and sampling in this region continues today. Beginning in 1998 and continuing to present, the Fall Juvenile program executed eleven bi-weekly river runs allocated among 13 Hudson River Regions (Battery through Albany). A similar comparison of historical sampling efforts to the 2005 sample design as described above for the Ichthyoplankton sampling design can be carried out using Table 10. FSDesignReview. Again, however, calendar nuances must be taken into consideration when deciding which sampling years most closely resemble the 2005 design year. Samples years may compare favorably in terms of number of samples collected, but may vary by a week in terms of when samples were collected. Close comparison of some sample years to the 2005 design year indicates that a shift in weeks could result in a year appearing to more, or less, closely resemble the 2005 design year. It should also be noted that there was a significant change in the gear used for the Hudson River Fall Juvenile program. Prior to 1985, a l.0m 2 epibenthic sled equipped with a 3 mm mesh Nitex net was used to sample the near-bottom habitat in shoal and bottom strata. Beginning in 1985, and continuing to present, the epibenthic sled was no longer used and was replaced with a 3m beam trawl to sample the near-bottom habitat in shoal and bottom strata of each region.
Hudson River Beach Seine Survey 1974-2005 The early years of the Hudson River Beach Seine sampling program (1974 - 1980) spanned the greatest number of weeks, and typically represented a weekly sampling effort in the lower regions of the river, and core weekly program and early and late biweekly program for the upper river regions. Beginning in 1981 and continuing to present, a bi-weekly sampling plan spanning fewer weeks was implemented. The bi-weekly plan remained in place through 2005, although additional sampling weeks were added (1983 through 1989) until the sampling design stabilized and remained consistent in 1990 to the present days with ten river runs (sampling weeks) allocated every other week for a 20 week period beginning in mid-June of each year. The visual display of Beach Seine sampling is presented in Table 11 in the accompanying Read Me File Directory 25 Feb 08.xls workbook, Table 11. BSDesignReview tab. Once again, the Beach Seine Survey sampling design performed during 2005 was considered to represent the current and consistent sampling design against which all previous designs were compared using the same color coding of effort (number of samples) as was done for the LR and FS programs described above.

This comparison is presented in Table 11. BSDesignReview tab. As was the case with both Ichthyoplankton and Fall Juvenile sampling comparisons, calendar/week assignment nuances can influence the extent to which a year compares closely with 2005.
Data file format For each program (LR, FS, BS) a series of excel files were prepared. Each program shares files in similar formats. Sampling dates for each program are presented in the excel files so named, and are included in separate tabs in the Read Me File Directory 25 Feb 08.xls workbook. Based on year and week, the files present the start date and end date for each week in the program year.
Number of samples (LR, FS, BS) and volume sampled (LR, FS only) are presented in two ways to facilitate NRC's use of these data. The list files present data in columns. These files are most readily processed by another application, for example, SAS. The same information in tabular format is presented for each method in table files.
For each program, the collection information for 16 species of fish by life stage are presented in both list and table format, for the years 1974-1979, and for the years 1980-2005 separately. Again, those files labeled as list would most readily be processed by applications other than Excel, while the table formatted files provide a more visual representation of the data.
Refer to the Read Me File Directory 25 Feb 08.xls file for a listing of all files provided, and a brief description of their contents. In addition, this file presents a species list and life stage codes in separate tabs, as well as a descriptive list of river regions represented in the sampling regimes in a separate tab.
Also displayed as separate tabs in this workbook are the tables of dates for each sampling method, and the Design Review spreadsheets described above.
OC Process and Results Table 2 below presents a description of the sample design for all, years for each of the three sampling programs, Beach Seine, Fall Shoals Juvenile, and Long River Ichthyoplankton, as interpreted from historic standard operating procedures manuals (SOPs) and compared to the data analyzed and presented in the corresponding annual year class report. Also noted in Table 2 are the differences between the intended design(from the SOPs) and the actual sample collections described in the annual Year Class reports.
Table 3 below presents the results of the processes adopted to confirm that the data tables generated from the annual database files accurately reflect results as they have been presented in Appendix Table C of the 2005 Year Class Report, and in Year Class Reports from 1974 through 2006. In particular, documentation is provided for circumstances under which differences between published year class reports and generated data tables were revealed. Actual QC results are documented in the LR QC, FS QC, and BS QC tables, presented as separated tabs and included in the Read Me File Directory25 Feb 08.xls file.

The results are summarized in Table 4. It should be noted that the number of samples and the volume sampled were confirmed against Appendix Table C-1. Total counts for taxa were confirmed with some exceptions, noted in Table 4.
Ichthyoplankton      Comparison of table results Tabulated results were compared to information presented in the Year Class Reports. Discrepancies in 1974- 1980           to information presented in total sample number were traced to aberrations from the original sample design, as well as differences annual Year Class Reports. from year to year in the number of samples collected and returned to the lab for processing. While samples collected were compared to numbers presented in annual reports, it was not possible to confirm total volume sampled for these years.
Fall Juvenile        Appendix Table C-2, 2005 Total counts, total number of samples, and total volume sampled, generated through annual database 1985-2005            Year Class Report            files'-were compared to the tabulated results of Appendix Table C-2. The results are summarized in Table 5. The number of samples and the volume sampled were confirmed with one exception against Appendix Table C-2 of the 2005 Year Class Report. In 1987 there were 67 samples that were part of a gear comparison study, and these samples and their associated counts were removed from the analysis files being provided. Discrepancies in counts can primarily be attributed to the removal of these gear comparison, task code 1 samples. Discrepancies are documented in Table 5.
Fall Juvenile        Comparison of table results In general it was possible to confirm the number of samples as reported in the historic database against 1974-1984            to information presented in the numbers published in the annual year class reports. Table 2 documents the QC process.

The results are summarized in Table 6. It should be noted that the number of samples was confirmed 100% against Appendix Table C-3 of the 2005 Year Class Report. Five discrepancies were noted in four years, and these discrepancies are documented in Table 6.
