With the recent decline in the number of Kokanee, there is an imperative to estimate the abundance of piscivorous Gerrard Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout in Kootenay Lake.

The large, piscivorous Gerrard Rainbow Trout of Kootenay Lake support an important recreational fishery. Intermittently, since 1966, length, weight, fecundity and scale information has been collected from individual fish.

The Kootenay Lake Exploitation Study is a multi-year fish tagging program to estimate the proportion of large rainbow and bull trout that are caught by anglers versus die of natural causes on Kootenay Lake.

Hierarchical Bayesian models were fitted to the hydroacoustic density data and acoustic tag depth detection for Kootenay Lake using using R version 3.0.2 (Team, 2013 ) and JAGS 3.3.0 (Plummer, 2012 ) which interfaced with each other via the jaggernaut (Thorley, 2014 ) R package. For additional information on hierarchical Bayesian modelling in the BUGS language, of which JAGS uses a dialect, the reader is referred to Kery and Schuab (2011) pages 41-44.
