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.
