摘要

The American Paddlefish Polyodon spathula is an ancient species native to the Mississippi River and its larger tributaries. This species exhibits a unique combination of morphology and life history characteristics that sets it apart from most fishes swimming in our freshwater systems. It is these traits, coupled with extensive river modifications and overexploitation, which have led to population declines from historic values. Concern over exploitation rates from sport and commercial fisheries has increased in recent decades and the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species is now seeking information from state agencies regarding the sustainability of commercially harvested Paddlefish populations. The Missouri Department of Conservation is addressing this through the implementation of a five year study on exploitation of Paddlefish in the Mississippi River. The first two years of this project found that exploitation of Paddlefish along Missouri's eastern border was equal to 4.01% (SE=0.02). Previous spawning potential ratio modeling completed by Hupfeld et al. (In Press) used estimates of exploitation derived from un-validated ages. By replacing the information from that study with the more accurate estimates determined in this study it becomes apparent that Paddlefish populations of the Mississippi River are currently at sustainable levels. However, precautionary adjustment of regulations is advised to protect Paddlefish through maturation and to counteract the possibility of increased harvest intensity resulting from increased demand of domestic caviar.;Historically, management of fish populations has been achieved through the use of agederived estimates of growth and mortality. For long-lived species such as the Paddlefish validation of calcified structures is necessary to correct for presence of false annuli or absence of growth rings. Regardless, numerous studies on Paddlefish populations throughout their range have continued the use of un-validated age estimates to evaluate dynamic rate functions. The use of mark-recapture studies has been applied widely to evaluate growth of short-lived fishes and only recently on a few long-lived freshwater fishes (i.e., White Sturgeon, Shovelnose Sturgeon, and Pallid Sturgeon). This study provides the first simultaneous evaluation of both markrecapture and age-estimate information in determining population characteristics for Paddlefish. In doing so, this study has determined that the population of Paddlefish in the Black River below Clearwater Dam, Missouri is sustainable. Additionally, mark-recapture information is sufficient to produce accurate and reliable assessments of Paddlefish populations in lieu of validated aging structures. Future management of Paddlefish populations should be centered on accurate scientific methods; which is not the case when using un-validated aging structures (e.g., scales, otoliths, fin rays, dentary bones) to determine population parameters. Mark-recapture information can provide an accurate alternative source of growth and mortality information to be used in evaluating and managing Paddlefish populations throughout their range.
