Metadata: Natural England (NE) A habitat survey for spawning ground and nursery areas for Annex II fish species within the Severn Estuary river catchment 2015
Abstract:
APEM Ltd was commissioned to undertake surveys to identify shad and lamprey habitat on the lower River Severn (downstream of Diglis Weir) and the lower River Teme (Downstream of Powick Weir). Suitable habitat was defined according to previously identified habitat criteria based on substrate type and hydraulic conditions, and survey was undertaken from a boat, combined with bankside surveys. The results of the survey found that suitable shad and lamprey habitat were present in the River Teme, however almost no suitable habitat was identified in the lower River Severn. Subsequently, potential monitoring locations were identified within the River Teme, but it was not possible to identify specific monitoring sites in the Severn. Notwithstanding that no specific shad or lamprey habitat was identified within the River Severn, it may still prove an important habitat for these species due to its large spatial extent. Therefore sampling strategies for the River Severn are discussed, but due to the lack of species specific habitat and the likely low densities of fish, high intensity surveys for the species of interest are likely to be required

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The habitat survey technique used was based around the Environment Agencyâ??s Fisheries Technical Manual 4: Restoration of Riverine Salmon Habitats (Hendry and Cragg-Hine, 1997), devised by APEM. To enable mapping of both river banks and the mid-channel habitat, the survey was undertaken by making direct observations from a boat within the river channel. |
