Description:
Abstract:
This data set is four tables with: 1) the body condition and egg counts of Sockeye Salmon captured at several sites along the Pilgrim River 2013-2016, 2) water temperature from 10 automated temperature dataloggers during the summers of 2013-2016, 3) results from an experiment to determine the effect of elevated water temperature on levels of Heat Shock Protein (HSP70) in captive juvenile Sockeye Salmon and 4) the geographic coordinates of temperature dataloggers and fish capture sites.
Purpose:
These data were collected to assess temperature influences on migrating Pacific salmon. Anadromous salmon are susceptible to changes in river conditions because of the physiological challenge of migrating upriver to spawn and complete their life cycle. We measured heat stress and energy density of Sockeye Salmon throughout their upriver migration and examined pre-spawning mortality in a subarctic watershed. The Pilgrim River near Nome, Alaska, was selected for study as it is at the northern edge of the Sockeye Salmon distribution and often ranges below the optimal temperature for Sockeye migration, thus warmer temperature pulses may affect somatic energy.

Description_of_Geographic_Extent:
Pilgrim River System, Port Clarence District (near Nome, AK) is located on the Seward Peninsula in Northwestern Alaska immediately south of the Arctic Circle, and is fed by the Grand Central River, which flows into Salmon Lake, feeding the Pilgrim River, which is a tributary of the Kuzitirn River, which feeds into the Imuruk Basin, on into the Tuksuk Basin, and then on into Grantly Harbor, and then directly into Port Clarence which finally opens up into the Bering Sea. The distance from the mouth of the river to the spawning grounds on Salmon Lake is about ~180 km with an elevation gain of about 150 m. We used the Minimum Bounding Geometry tool in ArcGIS 10.4.1 to create an Minimum Bounding Geometry around the point features that made up the sample sites and Grantley Harbor to determine the bounding coordinates.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Individual sample ID's, collection dates, sampling locations, numbers, reported sex of individual samples, mortality, length, egg count, water temperature and somatic energy provided by collectors were cross-checked and verified to match the accompanying worksheet. Measured and observed values fell within expected values and were re-assessed if warranted.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Attribute values fall within expected ranges and data were checked for duplication and omission. Cells marked with NA indicate that data were not collected, and cells marked with -9999 indicated a dry river bed.
Completeness_Report:
No collected data were omitted from any of the tables. Cells marked with NA indicate that data were not collected. Validation of energy density readings was done by comparing the range of our values to the range found by Crossin and Hinch (2005) and Roscoe et al. (2010) to ensure our values on average are within the range found in other systems.

Methodology_Description:
Fish Collection: Sockeye Salmon were collected from three locations (Grantley Harbor, Pilgrim River, and Salmon Lake) in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 on the Pilgrim River, except no fish were collected in Grantley Harbor in 2016. In Grantley Harbor, Sockeye Salmon were collected in cooperation with subsistence harvesters using floating gill nets (7" mesh size) in late June and early July. Mid-way up the Pilgrim River, Sockeye Salmon were collected at a fish counting weir. The fish weir was operated from ice-out in late June until early September and was monitored 24 hours a day and checked regularly. Sockeye Salmon were sampled at multiple times in July and early August in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. We collected Sockeye Salmon at the end of the spawning migration by beach seine in Salmon Lake in mid- to late August. Additionally, non-scavenged salmon carcasses were collected on the shore of Salmon Lake in late August to assess post-spawning condition.

Methodology_Description:
Energy Density (Somatic Energy): Upon capture, we took readings (using a Distell Model 692 Fish Fatmeter that transmits a low powered microwave to determine fat content in finfish) on Sockeye Salmon at four spots along the dorsal surface just above the lateral line (Colt and Shearer 2001; Crossin and Hinch 2005). For the analysis, we focused on two measurements: 1) directly behind the opercular flap and 2) centered beneath the anterior insertion of the dorsal fin, as suggested by Crossin and Hinch (2005).

Methodology_Description:
A controlled laboratory experiment was conducted in 2015 to determine what temperature creates a stress response of elevated heat shock proteins (HSP70). Juvenile Sockeye Salmon, individuals (87-114 mm Fork length), underwent a temperature increase (1°C per hour) from 3.67°C to 11.7°C, 18.3°C, 20°C, or 22.22°C. A control of constant 3.67°C water temperature was also run to create five treatment levels. Fish were held at each treatment level temperature for 4 hours and then rapidly anesthetized after temperature exposure. Samples were analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey - Conte Anadromous Fish Research Laboratory, Turners Falls, MA, USA. All juvenile fish were euthanized.

NHD data served as a base layer providing verification that all points were actually on river segments, lakes or harbors encompassing the study. The flowlines were also used to calculate the river kilometers for each site.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
ESRI's ArcMap 10.4.1 GIS application was used with data in the National Hydrology Dataset (NHD) for hydrologic unit code 1905 (NW Alaska) to calculate the approximate distance in kilometers from the downstream-most site, Grantley Harbor (0 km) to the upstream-most site, Grandcentral (188 km). The NHD_H_1905_GDB.gdb (geodatabase) was projected on the fly within the data frame using the NAD_1983_Alaska_Albers projected coordinate system. A downstream trace (from the Grandcentral site) was performed using a flow analysis of the NHDFlowline feature to extract just the river segments leading to the mouth of the flow, Grantley Harbor. The extracted segment was then simplified by removing braided sections of the flowline in order to obtain a single line. This line, representing the fish migration past each site as closely as possible, was then formally projected into the NAD_1983_Alaska_Albers projection so that distances based on meters could be determined at specified distances along a line. This flowline was then "dissolved" to make it a single line, rather than many smaller segments in the original, allowing further processing. The tool, "Generate Points Along Lines", was then used to place points along the line, beginning 1 km upstream of the Grantly Harbor site, and every kilometer up to the Grandcentral site. The measure tool was used to determine whether it was closer to the downstream or upstream kilometer marker, and the nearest km marker was assigned to the site.

Attribute_Definition:
Count of eggs in non-scavenged female salmon carcasses, collected on the shore of Salmon Lake in late August. The body cavity of the fish was slit open. If it was possible to determine by initial observation that there were <100 eggs, the fish was designated as "completely spawned". The eggs were counted by hand, and designated "spawning failures" when >100 eggs were counted.

Entity_Type_Label: sockeyeSalmon_experimentHSP70_pilgrimR_carey_2015
Entity_Type_Definition:
We investigated thermal stress in Sockeye Salmon by measuring heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) as a biomarker. This experiment was performed in a laboratory where juvenile Sockeye Salmon were exposed to a water temperatures conducive to the life cycles of Sockeye Salmon. The water temperature was set initially at 3.67 degrees Celsius and increased 1 degree C per hour to 11.7 degrees C, 18.3 degrees C, 20 degrees C, or 22.22 degrees C. A control group was also kept at 3.67 degrees C, creating five treatment levels. The experiment was performed with five individual fish per aquarium at the Trail Lakes Hatchery (Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association, Moose Pass, AK, USA). Temperatures were monitored every 15 minutes using TidbiT v2, HOBO Water Temp Pro v2 (Onset Computer Corporation, Bourne, MA, USA). Fish were held at each treatment level temperature for 4 hours and then rapidly anesthetized after temperature exposure, and immediately frozen in a dry nitrogen shipper. Samples were analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey - Conte Anadromous Fish Research Laboratory (Turners Falls, MA, USA).
