Biography

Dr. Phaedra Budy is the Unit Leader of the U.S. Geological Society, Utah Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit, a Professor of fisheries management and aquatic ecology in the Department of Watershed Sciences at Utah State University (USU) and a faculty member of The Ecology Center at USU. She holds a B.S. in Limnology from the University of California, Davis and a PhD in Aquatic Ecology from Utah State University. She does research that fits into an overall framework of evaluating the factors that structure and limit fish populations and communities in both lentic and lotic systems, and also works broadly in the conservation biology, invasion ecology, and food web dynamics of aquatic systems. Her current research covers a wide geographical range including almost all of Utah (from the south of the state up to high elevation points in the Bear River drainage), Nevada, New Mexico, and northern, arctic Alaska and includes many species of salmonids, imperiled native desert fishes (e.g., the "three species"), and numerous warm water lentic fishes. She also dabbles in experimental and adaptive stream restoration and large river management. Dr. Budy currently teaches advanced graduate level classes in Fish Ecology and most recently Big Ideas in Watershed Sciences.

The potential for nongame fish species to explode with detrimental effects on sport fisheries in Utah has prompted managers to shift some stocking programs from exclusively rainbow trout, to include tiger trout and/or Bear Lake cutthroat trout as potential biological controls. However, inter-specific interactions among this unusual complex of predatory species are not well understood, and there is concern that the overall effect may be a decrease of overall trout condition. In Scofield Reservoir rainbow trout niche space overlaps substantially with Utah chub (nongame), indicating a similar trophic position. Large tiger trout and cutthroat trout occupy top trophic positions indicating considerable niche overlap and possibly direct competition for food and space. To evaluate the potential for negative interactions among these three species, we designed laboratory experiments to assess agonistic behavior. Differences in agonistic behavior between rainbow, cutthroat, and tiger trout were determined with replicated, pair-wise treatments of one fish of each species together in a tank. We then observed the number of chases and contacts occurring between species. In all treatments rainbow trout initiated significantly (p <<0.000) more aggressive interactions (primarily chases) than tiger or cutthroat trout. Feeding (pre-post) did not have a significant effect on agonistic behavior for any species; however relative differences in fish size did appear to influence the outcome of the interaction for tiger trout. Understanding agonistic behavior provides important information for determining niche overlap between, and resource availability for, these sympatrically stocked species.
