Biological Effects of Elevated TDG Levels Sample Clauses

Biological Effects of Elevated TDG Levels. Biological studies of the effects of elevated TDG levels on aquatic organisms, including studies of juvenile salmon and steelhead, resident fish species, and benthic macroinvertebrates, found very little evidence of any adverse effects on these organisms, even when TDG levels were higher than normal. Juvenile salmon and steelhead have been monitored for gas bubble trauma (GBT), which is caused by exposure to high TDG levels, at the Rock Island fish bypass trap. Even though the Rock Island fish bypass trap induces GBT by holding fish in shallow troughs overnight prior to examination, the percentage of fish exhibiting GBT symptoms has remained below 5% of the fish sampled since the JBS was constructed. By comparison, the NOAA FisheriesFederal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion requires the continuation of voluntary spill until GBT symptoms are exhibited in greater than 15% of fish sampled. The level of GBT in resident fish and benthic macroinvertebrates captured below the Project was studied in 2001 and 2002. TDG levels were low in 2001 because there was no spill, but in 2002 TDG levels were the highest observed in a decade. The high TDG came from hydroelectric projects upstream from Rocky Reach Dam. Nevertheless, there was no difference in the levels of GBT symptoms observed in fish and macroinvertebrates in the spring of 2001 (no TDG exceedances) as compared with the spring of 2002 (TDG levels ranged from 103% to 127%). None of the resident fish collected in 2001 (3,777 fish examined) and during spring 2002 (2,134 fish examined) exhibited signs of GBT, despite the fact that they were collected from shallow water where exposure to TDG is most likely to result in GBT. Similarly, benthic macroinvertebrates did not show signs of GBT, with only two of 7,405 organisms examined having GBT in 2001 and two of 9,885 organisms examined having GBT in 2002. Even an attempt to induce GBT in macroinvertebrates in 2002 by suspending organisms at a depth of one meter for seven days failed to produce any evidence of GBT in the 404 organisms examined. Only during the first part of the 2002 summer sampling season, when TDG levels arriving at the Project exceeded 130%, were GBT symptoms observed in resident fish sampled below the Project. GBT was observed in 160 of the 866 fish examined from July to August. However, even with the extreme exposure to TDG levels exceeding 130%, most of the fish only exhibited minor GBT impacts. From this evidence, it is cle...
