August 31st Webinar Follow-Up: Movement

Engage in the process

Thank you to all the webinar participants for their feedback during the webinar.
If you were unable to attend, a recording of the webinar was posted previously. We welcome further comments.

When wrapping up the webinar yesterday, we were left with a few topics and questions still to address. To continue the discussion, we will be posting a series of questions here on the blog. Today’s topic is on Pallid Sturgeon movement.
Movement was identified as a sub objective that should potentially be addressed by the PSPAP. We need to clarify how movement should be quantified in simulations.

• What temporal scales are of interest for Pallid Sturgeon movement?
  • Would you be happy with a site fidelity type estimate where the probability of moving from one bend to another in the next year is sufficient?
  • Are long
• What spatial scales are of interest for Pallid Sturgeon movement (among bends, among segments within RPMAs or management units)?
• What types of Pallid Sturgeon movement are of interest (yearly base location, spawning, etc.)?
• What metric or value the represents movement do you think should be estimated?
