Summary:
The first phase of this field program was implemented in 2018, where approximately twenty loggers were deployed and retrieved. A minimum sample size of seventy is required to build a robust stream temperature model. The research team propose to deploy July 14-15 and retrieve August 29-30 the remaining temperature loggers (n = 50) across the Fish Creek watershed. This data will be used to develop a...

Summary:
The Mackenzie Gas Pipeline will cross more than 600 tributaries of the Mackenzie River, ranging from small (< 1 m) vegetated swales to large rivers. All construction methods, with the exception of trenchless drilling, will disturb the bed and banks of the rivers they cross. Fish habitat use and distribution has not been studied in sufficient detail.
Fish will be captured and identified for spec...

2000 Summary:
Transportation to and from sampling sites will be provided by helicopter. Basic camping equipment will be set up for a few days in each sampling location for sleeping and eating during sampling. All fish captured will be tagged with colored tags (floy tags) and some (2-5) with radio-tags to identify fish movement and locate spawning sites. Fish will only be sampled to collect information on dis...
