In Lake Tahoe working with our partners we will focus on developing a self-sustaining lacustrine population in Lake Tahoe by utilizing prioritized tributaries for spawning and reproduction of reintroduced Pilot Peak LCT. Several identified studies (Phases 2-7) will provide information on reintroduced LCT by using localized dispersal release sites, conducting telemetry on reintroduced LCT to determine seasonal and diel (24-hour) vertical-horizontal distribution and movements of different size classes, near-shore-offshore distribution of LCT during the first growing season and telemetry for understanding nonnative lake trout population size, distribution, seasonal and temporal movements

| 08/03/2016 3:43 PM | Stephanie Byers | The USFWS-Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex envisions needing approximately $20 million over the next 10 years to restore and recover the lacustrine strain of Lahontan cutthroat trout. Our emphasis for future efforts in the Fallen Leaf Lake watershed will be implementing the three management goals needed to establish a self-sustaining, lacustrine LCT population in Fallen Leaf Lake: 1) substantially reduce lake trout predation on LCT in Fallen Leaf Lake; 2) eliminate the risk of rainbow trout hybridization with LCT in the Glen Alpine Creek watershed; and 3) improve management of LCT harvest. In 2011 in collaboration with our partners in the Tahoe Basin and our researcher, University of Washington, we completed a two year study on a baseline pelagic food web study in Lake Tahoe. This study, the first comprehensive look at the current ecosystem, determined interactions between the different trophic levels including abundance of prey/predator species and interactions between predator/prey to assess possible restoration and reintroduction of LCT. These findings were presented in 2015 to our partners on the Tahoe Basin Recovery Implementation Team (RIT), researchers in the basin, and the public including the Douglas County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife. Further studies were identified to increase our understanding of lake trout spawning and self-regulating recruitment that potentially will increase successful reintroduction of LCT into Lake Tahoe. The Complex will continue collaborating with our Tahoe RIT and Washoe Tribe partners to outline goals for reintroduction of lacustrine Lahontan cutthroat trout in the Lake Tahoe basin. The LCT to be used in these future reintroduction efforts is the Pilot Peak strain, genetically representative of the original LCT found in the Lake Tahoe basin. We will also continue working with our State partner on producing the lacustrine Pilot Peak LCT strain for recreational, restoration and recovery efforts in the Basin. |
