| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Conservation and exploring methodology for spawning rivers of pink salmon are needed because declines in fishery catch has been continued in recent years. In this study, we used the GPS tracking system on black-eared kites, which commonly feed on salmon carcasses after spawning in eastern part of Hokkaido, to determine salmon spawning rivers based on their feeding locations. Our results showed a highly concentration of habitat use in the proximity of rivers and influences of salmon spawning. The kites spent their much time at salmon spawning sites. Therefore, time spent information in the salmon spawning rivers taken from black-eared kites using GPS tracking devices can be a new technique to monitor the salmon abundance in the rivers in eastern part of Hokkaido.
