EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This study, conducted from 1996 to 1998, estimates fish entrainment into the IntakeIrrigation Canal (Intak~ Canal), Montana, and provides baseline fishery data on the LowerYellowstone River. This information is critical for any future canal headwork modifications.

Initially nets were designed in 1996 specific for the study site, and sampling of fishentering the canal at the headworks began in June 1996. More intense sampling occurred in1997 with frequent netting over the irrigation season and for eight 24-hour periods. In 1998, dataon all species were collected over the irrigation season, but maintaining live collection ofsturgeon chub was emphasized. The sturgeon chub were used for reintroduction in native watersand as brood stock for culture facilities. Debris entrained was frequently quantified during 1996and 1997, and is available for incorporation into possible future screen designs and debrishandling equipment. .

The Intake Canal is unscreened, and relatively large flows from the Yellowstone Riverinto the canal exceed 1550 cfs from mid-May to mid-September. The diversion is controlledthrough 11 sluice condUits, and fish enter these because they are unscreened. Potentiallysignificant fish entraintnent from the Yellowstone River had not been estimated. This studyprovides those importall1t values. Estimates were obtained by collecting all fish from 2 to 4 of the11 conduits with fyke lIlets set in the flows. During 1996, netting techniques were tested andrefined using two condJuits. Over the irrigation season in 1997, a total of 8,374 fish was netted.Included in this 1997 sampling were 8 days of24 hour sampling, as well as a tagging programwhere 975 netted fish received Floy tags and were returned to the canal. The fish were tagged todetermine recapture fattors for more accurate entrainment estimates. Thirty-four species weresampled; 25 were native species. Native species-stonecat, flathead chub, sturgeon chub,goldeye and sauger---oomprised the highest numbers collected. Average entrainment in 1996and 1997 was 1.75 and 0.99 fish per acre-foot, respectively. Entrainment rates of individualspecies varied with month, time of day, and turbidity, over the irrigation season when withentrainment flows into' the canal were relatively constant. Diel differences in entrainment formany of the native fish were most pronounced later in the irrigation season when river clarityincreased.

The 1998 entrainment netting collected 4,529 fish which included 744 sturgeon chub.About 400 of these sturgeon chub were transported live to restocking or culture facilities. Saugerwere the most frequent species encountered. Surprisingly, shovelnose sturgeon accounted for anoticeable high perceIlltage (8 percent) offish in 1998.

Estimates oftol\:al entrained fish were extrapolated from monthly average entrainmentrates summarized ovet the irrigation season. The total estimated number of entrained fish in

1996 was 537,459 ± 198,908. Estimates of total fish entrained in 1997 and 1998 were 382,609± 24,487and 809,820 ± 154,000, respectively. The Lower Yellowstone River appears to be ahighly productive system, in spite of entrainment at Intake Canal and other irrigation facilities.Fish numbers in the river remain large.

Reducing the entrainment of fish into Intake Canal could be accomplished by one or moreof the following:

.. Relocating the intakle area away from the shore toward the center ofthe river.

.. Placing louvers and positive barrier screens either in the river at the Intake headworks orwithin the canal... Installing a device to move upstream migrating fish away from the bankline and the headwork

mouth of Intake.

Screening within the river, proximate to the Intake Canal headworks, should be modularand designed for seasonal removal to avoid winter ice damage. Effective within-canal screeningmust include a by-pass system to return fish to the river and be designed to minimize predation.Other techniques, such as sound, lights, or electricity -singly or in combination with othermethods- could guide fish away from the canal and reduce entrainment.

Introduction

Water for irrigation is diverted from the Yellowstone River into the Intake Irrigation

Canal (Intake Canal), at the Lower Yellowstone Diversion Dam, located about 18 miles

downstream from Glendive, Montana. The diversion dam and Intake Canal headworks have

been in place for almost a century (i.e., constructed from 1905 to 1907).

Several years of anecdotal information from fisherman and farmers has indicated highly

desirable game fish are routinely found in the canal, and any fish in the canal could be

transported to the irrigated fields. Because of these concerns and the lack of verifiable

information, we initiated this investigation in 1996 to estimate the number and density of fish

entrained into the canall and assess any differences over the 4-month irrigation season. The

irrigation season is typically from mid-May through mid-September, and water diverted at Intake

and utilized through about 225 miles of canals and laterals. Federal, State, and irrigation

managers can use these study data to develop management practices which optimize water

delivery and reduce fish entrainment.

This report presents results of data colleCted June 11 to September 19, 1996; May 21 to

lThis investigaJtion is part of a comprehensive Lower Yellowstone River study designedto collect information on all irrigation demands of the river and fish passage information fromother low-head dams downstream ofBillings, Montana.

September 11, 1997; and May 20 through September 10, 1998. The 1996 sampling season was

originally designated for equipment setup and design of sampling logistics; sampling occurred

only 10 to 14 days each month. The equipment initially worked well and nets collected many

fish and the 1996 data is included in this report. Data are of good quality and provides accurate

trends and estimates. Data were collected in 1997 in 2-week periods with 1 week breaks

between periods throughout the irrigation season. Data collection in 1998 occurred 14 to 20 days

each month with most sampling covering the crepuscular period. Results relate to fish entrained

in the canal and may not reflect similar species densities or similar compositions as those in the

river. Recommendati6ns and additional studies are located in the Discussion Section.

METHODS and MATERIALS

A netting system was designed to collect fish immediately after entrainment through the

control sluice gates in :order to accurately record entrainment data. Figure 1 presents a cross

section through the Intake headworks with the net frame lowering system and guides in place.

The control gates and sluices are 5 feet in diameter with 11 gates across the headworks. The

nets are attached to 'l2~inch steel guide cables secured to the base of the canal side of the

headworks below the sluice opening. The above-water portion of the guide cables is connected

to a frame structure with turnbuckles which allow tightening of the cables to make a taut guide.

Each sluice sampled had cables mounted as described. The guide frames were bolted to the

upper deck of the headworks and had a hand winch lifting cable in the center. The lifting cable

was attached to the center ofthe net frame and the lifting frame allowed the net to nearly clear

the base ofthe deck; so the net could be inspected and repaired easily.

The square (6 feet sides) net frames have hollow grips that clamp to the steel guide cables

on each side approximately 3 inches from the net frame. The nets were 'l2-inch delta heavy duty

mesh with an 8-inch rubberized chafe collar that was sandwiched between

frame with the inflow filling the net. The nets has a choker four feet before the cod end to use

when lifting the net. the cod end (3/16-inch ace mesh) ofthe net was 24 inches long fitted with

a 20 inch zipper for removal of contents. The nets were lifted from flowing water to prevent fish

swimming out of the nets. Duration ofnet set was determined by debris loading but generally

the nets were set for one hour. Over the irrigation season in 1997, systematic sampling for 2

weeks on (8 to 10 hours a day) and 1 week offwas employed. Also in 1997, diel fish

entrainment was assessed by sampling hourly for 8 days. Cod end live collection containers

were designed and built for use in 1998. These were inserted into the cod end net bag and

contained a baffle system that provided a low flow refuge for all but the largest fish.

Netted fish were identified to species, weighed and measured. Some were tagged in

1997. All fish, except blue suckers and shovelnose sturgeon, were released back into the canal.

Length-weight relationships were calculated from the 20 most common species from fish where

both total length and weight data were recorded. Length frequency of the same group of fish is

also presented. Table 1 presents a list of fish species collected over the three years. Smaller fish

could pass through the net mesh of~ inch and consequently the fish netted were primarily over

30 mm total length. &mall fish were cC?llected in the nets, but most likely in numbers under­

representing their actual entrainment. Fish not identified in the field were preserved and

identified positively in the lab.

Rates of entrainment were calculated using the proportion of canal flow each net

sampled and determirting fish per acre-foot rate for each net set by species. Individual gate

positions and daily canal flows were recorded and used for each net's individual entrainment

rate. The three step extrapolation procedure to obtain fish entrainment estimates per month was:

a) Divide the numberof fish collected by the volume ofwater sampled (acre-feet) for each nets

sampling b) Average :each days netting to fish per acre/foot by day and month c) Multiply

monthly average rates per species by the canal inflow over each month for an estimate of fish

entrained per month. The monthly entrainment rates include a recapture factor. The recapture

factor (See following) was usually around 0.95 and was multiplied times the entrainment rate. In

addition, the monthly: entrainment rates include a standard error of the mean. The raw data from

each net is provided in Appendix A, B, and C corresponding to 1996, 1997, and 1998.

A tapered gap between the upper portion of the net mouth and the concrete wall ofthe

headworks allowed fisll to enter and be re-captured. This tapered gap varied from no gap at the

bottom of the net to about 14 inches at the top of the net. This gap potentially could also have

been an escape avenue, if the entrained fish was able to work its way up through high inflow

current. In 1997, about 976 fish were tagged (i.e., Floy spaghetti tags inserted between or behind

the dorsal rays) to identify fish recaptured in the nets and released in the canal. Fish that were

tagged were limited to larger (>125 mm total length) life stages and species. Tagging results

provided a recapture factor for certain species and information on residence time of certain

species in the proximate area of the canal headworks.

The Yellowstone River stage height was recorded twice each day by the Lower

Yellowstone Irrigation Project personnel and turbidity was monitored (i.e., Hach Inc., Model

1800 turbidimeter) when the nets were fished. All gate positions were recorded daily to estimate

for distribution ofwater in the netted sluice ways. Each of the four nets sampled between 3.5

and 9.6% of the total canal diverted water, almost 40% of the flow was sampled at times. Field

corrections to the flow: data were made through out the study. For example quantitative flow

estimates were made when a gate became restricted with logs and other other debris. Turbidity

was recorded in NTU's (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) and serial dilutions with turbidity-free

water were performed when the river turbidity exceeded the range of the turbidimeter.

1996 Results

In 1996, two nets collected 2931 fish representing 27 species. Flathead chub (Figure 2)

made up the largest percentage, followed by stonecats and sturgeon chub. Sauger and channel

catfish were the only two game fish commonly encountered (14.4 and 10.5 percent respectively,

Figure 2). Sauger we~e collected primarily during July and August- their highest entrainment

rate on August 10th. Iptake canal flows were relatively constant near 1350 cfs (cubic feet per

second) while the river stage fluctuated over the season.

Differences we;re noted between catche~ by the two nets; east net (furthest down stream

along the face of the headworks) averaged about two times more fish. Shovelnose sturgeon were

the only species collected most in the west net. Total fish entrainment averaged 1.75 fish per

acre-foot. This calculation was derived from averaging the rates between both nets over the

entire 1996 sampling Season. Table 2 presents the monthly average entrainment rate calculated

for each species of fish collected and the estimated water passing into the canal.

Over the 1996 irrigation season, the species composition changed. Figure 3 provides

composition difference:s for the six most common species (stonecat, channel catfish, flathead

chub, goldeye, sturgeon chub, and sauger) and others. The dominant fish by month were

stonecats in June, sauger in July, flathead chub and sturgeon chub in August, and channel catfish

and others in September.

1997 Results

There were 34 species collected in 1997 from May 21 through September 11 with four or

fewer nets sampling the Intake Canal at a time. Of the total 7,980 fish collected, 39.5 % were

stonecat. Other fish collected in relatively high numbers include flathead chub (16.7%),

.sturgeon chub (12.7%), goldeye (8.5%), and sauger (6.2%). A daily average entrainment rate of

0.99 fish per acre-foot was calculated for the entire irrigation season. Species composition,

presented in Figure 4, shows the great diversity of fish entrained.

Monthly Entrainment

The daily average entrainment was calculated for each collection period and averaged by

month for each species, similar to 1996. Table 4 lists monthly rates of entrainment for each

species. This rate multiplied by the monthly acre feet in the canal estimates entrained fish

numbers. These numbers should not be used for extrapolation to riverine population estimations.

Fish densities in the diversion dam area and near the shore line are unnaturally high and most

likely not representative of those in the river. May and September canal flows (acre-feet) take

into account less than afull month of irrigation water in the canal.

L 1997 Tagging Results

In 1997, there were 975 tagged fish netted and returned into the canal; 51 were recovered.

Stonecat represented the fish most tagged and recovered (i.e., 19 recovered out of367 tagged).

For all fish, time until recapture ranged from less than 1 hour to 336 days (two sauger were

recaptured in springI998). This indicates some degree of survival in the canal over winter and/or

recapture of a tagged fish by-passed to the river at a turnout, and then recaptured from the river in

1998. During periods of lower irrigation needs, the Intake Canal does return some water to the

river at Burns Creek about 8 miles down canal and at locations further down.

Tagging results from each net over the season are presented in the Table 5. The nets

represent an upstream to downstream gradient of sluice sampling. This table presents each net

and the corresponding percentage tag returns.

Table 5 Percentage of tagged fish re-collected at each net during 1997.

Blue West Net Yellow West Net Blue East Net Yellow East Net

31% 6% 18% 45%

The most eastwardly l~cated net (yellow east) collected the most recaptures. This net had a large

gyre ofwater behind it in the canal for most of the irrigation season. Its circular flow could have

repositioned entrained fish into the narrow (tapered) space between the net mouth and the

concrete headworks face. Fish were shown to be subject to recapture as an artifact of the tapered

gap between the headworks dam and the net mouth. Therefore, fish were tagged to determine

whether they'were recaptured in nets after release in the canal and, if so, to account for recapture

when estimating entrainment rates. Figure 6 shows the percent of tagged fish recaptured from the

canal by species. Incorporating recaptures provides a more accurate estimate of entrainment when

used with tagged species. As an example, 11% ofthe tagged burbot were recovered, therefore a

factor of 0.89 results, which is multiplied by the estimated burbot entrainment. A value of 0.95

was used for total fish entrainment estimations. This was obtained by calculating the mean of all

tag return factors.

Turbidity

Turbidities varied over the irrigation season, and exceeded highest values on the turbidity

meter. Highest average turbidities were in June, and all exceeded the 1000 NTU (Nephelometric

Turbidity Unit) maximum value ofthe meter. Appropriate dilutions were made to allow meter

readings, and turbidities of 1230 to 2600 NTU were estimated. Average turbidity during the

sampling in May was 156 NTU, in July was 338 NTU, in August was 596 NTU, and in

September was 25 NTU.-

River Flows

The Yellowstome River generally peaked in June at Intake Dam in 1996, 1997, and 1998

had a protracted runoff and peak flows in July. In 1997, peak flows reached nearly 90,000 cfs. A

gap in the 1997 flow data occurred during the rising spring flows because high water and debris

disabled the gauge station. Low spring flows in 1998 resulted in a low water year. Figure 7

presents the flows over the irrigation season for the three years. In all years sampled, flows in the

river decreased to base flow- 6500 to 8000 cfs- by the end of September.

weighed 4.2 Kg. M~st of the bigmouth buffalo were collected in July with the highest

entrainment rate of 0.041 bigmouth buffalo per acre-foot on July 10.

Few burbot (total = 61) were collected, most were sampled by the furthest

Shovelnose sturgeon were primarily collected later in the irrigation season with

the peak collection of sturgeon September 10. All sturgeon collected were released back

into the river. The 44 sturgeon collected ranged from 390 to 923 Fork Length (FL) and

averaged 850 grams.

All of the blue suckers (total =41) were large (305 to 851 mm TL). This seems

'to go along with the local trend of only finding larger size fish in sampling from the lower

Yellowstone River (pers com, Phil Stewart).

Other species, of fish were relatively rare in the entrainment nets. Two sickle fin

chub (95 and 100 mm TL), a species of special concern by the State of Montana, were

collected on July 13 and July 16, 1997. These fish were released back into the river.

1998 RESULTS

In 1998 entrainment netting, additional emphasis was placed on collection of live

sturgeon chub and providing live chub for a reintroduction program. Additionally the

sturgeon chub were collected later in the season for use as brood stock in a fish culture

program. Data was ~ollected on all species, similar to previous irrigation seasons. A total

of 4,391 fish were netted; the species composition was similar to previous years. The

noticeable addition to major fish collected was the shovelnose sturgeon, which made up

about 8 percent of tlie entrained fish in 1998.

Very low nUlhbers ofpaddlefish and cisco were collected for the first time with the

entrainment nets in J998. Figure 20 presents the species composition for 1998. Sauger

comprised the largelf portion of 1998 total entrainment at 20.3%, followed by stonecat and

sturgeon chub. Lower flows in 1998 could have contributed change in species

composition. Entrainment rates were determined for each species by month and reported

in Table 6.

In 1998 the nets were operated day and night and live collection of sturgeon chub

was performed with more frequent retrieval ofnets and the special cod end live cars.

When operating the ~ets day and night, strong diel differences were observed for certain

species. Figure 21 presents the day and night species composition during June, 1998. In

June many more stonecat and sturgeon chub were collected at night, where as sauger and

goldeye were more common during the day.

Discussion

Fish are entrained into the Intake Canal over the irrigation season. The significance of fish

loss from natural streams to irrigation diversions has been recognized since the early 1920s

(Prince 1922). Seasonal variations in species entrainment rates possibly can be explained by

movements of fish up lII11d down stream through the Intake Diversion dam area. Three species,

stonecat, flathead chub and sturgeon chub were the most frequently entrained fish. These and

other species entrained in higher numbers, show die1 trends during seasons and over the

crepuscular periods.

Fish moving up and down the Yellowstone River along the shore are most susceptible to

entrainment. In general, larger numbers of fish were collected from the net most downstream

(furthest east Intake sluice), suggesting fish moving upstream along the river edge are entrained

once they pass over the top of the rock dam (Intake Diversion Dam). Intake headworks is

positioned on the outside of a river bend nearest to the thalweg, possibly affecting fish response to

Intake entrainment flows. Fish may react differently if the Intake was positioned on an inside

bend or straight river rUn. The condition of fish netted was generally good Fish condition

decreased with greater length of time in the entrainment nets and increased debris loads. As the

study progressed, better cod ends were designed to improve the survival and condition of fish

entrained and collected.

Figure 24 presents monthly total fish entrainment estimates based on the daily average

rates multiplied by the monthly total acre feet passing into the canal for 1996 and 1997.

Differences between total entrainment in these two years is significant only in the June estimates.

This is probably due to several factors. In 1996, two nets were fished and used for entrainment

information, whereas rour were used in 1997. Fish entering the canal were not evenly distributed

across the sluice openings and possibly extrapolating data from only two nets inflated estimates

because more numbers of fish passed through those nets in the spring. This was demonstrated in

1997 when collections: from four nets were compared. The most eastern net (most downstream

with relation to the river) generally collected the most fish.

The more likely reason for the difference between years was 1997 was a relatively high

Yellowstone River were lower. Highest total fish entrainment was in August, similar to the

prevIous year. The August high monthly average rate of total fish entrained was 4.735 (±1.319)

Fish Entrainment and Yellowstone River Flows

The river flows over four irrigation seasons (includes 1999) and the four years average

entrainment were eXal1nined for a relationship that could be used to reliably predict entrainment

Yellowstone River flows more fish are entrained at Intake Canal. Several factors could help to

explain the relationship including: 1) lower densities of fish exposed to the Intake with higher

flows (similar to a dilution), 2) the greater velocity sluice flows swept fish past the Intake at

higher flows, 3) the increased river depth at high flow, and 4) the concentration of woody debris

at the Intake canal entrance during high flows that could function as a screen of sorts. With the

high predictability of this relationship (Figure 27), we could reliably estimate entrained fish using

the river flows averaged over the irrigation season. If flows were greater or less than those

observed in this four year period, estimates of entrained fish would less reliable.

The relationship between flow and sturgeon chub entrainment was analyzed (Figure 28),

and again a relatively strong negative relationship (F.907) occurred over the irrigation season.

The r 2 indicates that 90 percent of the variation in the entrainment rates could be explained by,

The sauger entrainment and river flow relationship was similarly analyzed and is presented

in Figure 29. Sauger entrainment and river flow are less closely related than as the sturgeon chub

. The lower entrainment of sauger in 1999 may be partially explained by an overall trend in the

population noted in the Yellowstone River (Phil Stewart, pers com). The r 2 of 0.447 indicates a

portion of the sauger entrainment could be explained by the Yellowstone flow.

Fish Entrainment Reduction

Fish entrainment could be reduced by constructing a barrier device on the face of the

diversion which keep fish out of the canal, or a diverter which allows entrainment into the canal

and then returns a portion of the water and fish to the river through a side channel. The most

practical solution is screening fish at the face ofthe diversion because fish are not exposed to

within canal predators-or impingement at debris screens down canal. Fish kept in the river can

pass upstream past the.diversion to spawning or feeding areas.

A conventionall in-canal screen, such as a rotating drum screen, and by-pass system would

return entrained fish downstream of the headworks. Fish moving upstream would have to

renegotiate the canal headworks again and if entrained again the fish may be trapped in a cycle

with little potential to) get upstream past the Intake Canal. Bakes et al.(1998) has noted fish need

use of the entire river, up and downstream ofa diversion on a tributary of the Yellowstone River.

A large angleli presence is seen in the canal near the headworks and fishing appears good.

The in-canal screening technique would allow anglers to catch fish near the diversion but

entrained fish would not be stranded in fields or in the canal when drained. Screening placed in

the canal would not n~ed to be removed and reinstalled every season to prevent ice damage, but

would present a challenge to return screened fish to the river with a bypass system.

Relocating the canal intake area away from the shore toward the center of the river could

reduce entrainment. Fish generally moving up or down along the river margin would be less likely

to encounter these enttainment canal flows. Louvers and positive barrier screens placed either at

the Intake mouth or within the canal would also reduce entrainment.

Operation modifications to reduce entrainment might work for species with large

differences in day and night entrainment. Unfortunately, reducing nighttime irrigation flows

might cause higher daytime flows encouraging greater numbers of daytime entrained fish. Other

operational fish entrainment reduction techniques could include reducing the flows into the Intake

Canal and maintaining the first six miles of canal at a shallower depth or shutting the canal off

during periods ofno imgation demand. As well, there are possibly opportunities to use

behavioral techniques ~;uch as sound, lights, or electricity to guide fish away from the present

situation. With any fish technique to reduce entrainment, rigorous evaluation should be

incorporated to ensure the barrier works.

Because sturgeon chub are proposed for listing, designing a system to prevent this

species' entrainment could be emphasized. A screen system designed for this relatively small

species will probably be very effective in reducing entrainment of most all the other species found

in the Lower Yellowstone River.

Liston et aL (1991) presents several options and associated costs for a variety ofbarrier

designs on the Tongue River near Miles City, Montana. The sizing techniques and operations

could be used to design a screen or louver at Intake CanaL Specific fish species may need to be

"targeted" for screenin:g, and these could be used when developing criteria and beginning

planning for future modifications at Intake CanaL
