A stock synthesis model was used to assess effects of experimental flows on early life stages of nonnative rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) in the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam (Arizona, USA). The model estimated time-varying survival rates while correcting for entry of new recruits to the age-0 population and changes in vulnerability to capture associated with growth and ontogenetic habitat shifts. A controlled flood, designed in part to enhance native fish habitat, led to an 11-fold increase in early survival rates (fertilization to ~1 month from emergence) of weekly cohorts of trout fertilized after the flood. Effects of increased flow fluctuations during incubation, designed to reduce trout abundance, were not apparent. Age-0 mortality between August and September was over twofold higher in years when there was a 50% reduction in the minimum flow compared with years when flow was stable. There was strong support for models that simulated an ontogenetic shift to deeper habitat in four of five study years. The integration of detailed field information in a stock synthesis model to describe early life history dynamics is a valuable approach that can be applied in a wide range of systems.

The lampricide TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) was tested against the following life stages of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): green eggs, eyed eggs, sac fry, swim-up fry, fry, and fingerlings in four water hardnesses (12, 44, 170, and 320 mg/liter as CaCO3). The eyed-egg stage was one of the most resistant stages tested, and the sac-fry stage was one of the least resistant. Increased water hardness decreases toxicity to all stages. The LC50’s range from 0.532 mg/liter to 40.0 mg/liter depending upon life stage, water hardness, and duration of exposure. The margin of safety for coexisting species exposed to TFM ranges from 3.2 to 4.1 in natural waters. The margin of safety for early life stages of rainbow trout and larval lamprey under controlled laboratory conditions ranges from 4.2 to 12.2. Therefore, all six early life stages of rainbow trout are safe in minimum lampricidal concentrations of TFM.
