1 Acoustic telemetry of Dungeness crab at a nearshore sediment disposal site Curtis Roegner Stephanie Fields Columbia River Estuary Conference ~ Astoria, Oregon 26 May 216

2 Motivation: Channel maintenance operations -Beach erosion mitigation -Impact by dredging/sediment deposition Recruitment to estuarine systems -Habitat use in estuary and near shore -Migration timing & triggers? Armstrong et al

3 Monitoring Approaches Crab pots Abundances of crab (traditional tool) Baited Lander Relative abundances before and after a disposal event Video Sled Densities in control and impact areas Acoustic Tags Movement of crabs in control and impact areas

Acoustic data reveal that crabs are highly motile and exhibit directed motions. Acute survival appears high and no evidence of incapacitated or dead crab based on current velocity data. Limited examples indicate survival for weeks to months post-release. Conclude the thin disposal presents limited risk to crabs and is an effective management tool for this system. High temperatures and low DO are already at levels inducing stress (if food is limiting).
