First results of acoustic tags using for studies of migrations of siberian taimen Huho taimen (Salmonidae) in the Tugur River basin (northwestern Okhotsk Sea)

Method of acoustic tagging of large-sized fish in a medium river is successfully tested for the case of siberian taimen Hucho taimen in the Tugur River. Algorithm of fish anesthesia and acoustic tag input into its body cavity is developed. For successful tagging, total duration of the process, inclu...

description Method of acoustic tagging of large-sized fish in a medium river is successfully tested for the case of siberian taimen Hucho taimen in the Tugur River. Algorithm of fish anesthesia and acoustic tag input into its body cavity is developed. For successful tagging, total duration of the process, including anesthesia, should not exceed 5 minutes. The best results of tagging are obtained for fish with a body length of 110–130 cm, which tolerate anesthesia easily. In 2017–2019, 25 out of 29 tagged fish were registered by acoustic equipment that indicates high efficiency of the method (86.2 %). Distance from the release point to the point of tag registration varied from 0.2 to 39.8 km. Some fish crossed almost completely the buoy-controlled section of the river that indicates a rather high migration potential of siberian taimen. On the background of high individual diversity of migration activity, two principally different behavioral strategies are distinguished — «residents» staying in one place up to 2 months and «nomads» migrating to a distance up to 30 km per day. The radius of taimen migration increases usually in May and September and decreases in August. The seasonal increasing is associated with feeding migrations: taimen feed on downstream juveniles of chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta and prespawning minnows Rhynchocypris lagowskii in May and on chum adults migrating to spawning grounds in September. During twilight and at night, the migrations are usually more active, but they are less visible and shorter in the morning and afternoon. Correspondingly, the main feeding of taimen is assumed in the twilight and dark time, whereas a supporting feeding in the daytime.
