Streams, rivers, and lakes of the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska, provide essential spawning and rearing habitat for millions of Pacific salmon collectively regarded as a foundation of the regional ecosystem and economy. Climate projections for the archipelago indicate probable increases in annual and seasonal air temperature over the next 85 years. Corresponding increases in the temperature of freshwaters also are expected, which may adversely influence the biology of salmon, the quality of salmon habitat, and the availability of salmon to support the ecosystem and economy. It is essential that salmon managers be provided with relevant and reliable information on expected changes in thermal regimes and their influence...
Water temperature influences all biological and physicochemical interactions within aquaticsystems. Water temperature monitoring is an essential part of lake management capable of providing early warning signs of climate change using straight-forward, low-cost techniques. Water temperature data acquired in this study will be used to support analyses of trend of the lacustrine component of sockeye salmon habitat. The need for such analyses is acute because climate change will influence lake habitat quality; growth and survival of juvenile sockeyesalmon; and subsistence, recreational, and commercial harvest opportunities. Additionally, data acquired in this project will be eventually combined with data collected by...
