Objectif(s): To assess at an overview level the fisheries habitat in streams to be crossed by the proposed road; to determine fish species presence, abundance and use in selected streams along the route; to provide a preliminary assessment of the impact of the all-weather road on the fisheries resources along the route; and to use the collected reconnaissance information to design a more detailed program and cost estimate to meet the environmental requirements for the construction of the road.
Description du projet: The survey will focus on identifying streams used by Arctic grayling for spawning. The route will be flown by helicopter and ground surveys will be conducted at selected sites to assess stream habitat (eg: discharge, depth, velocity, substrate) and fish use through backpack electrofishing, seining, and/or angling. This survey information will be used to provide a preliminary assessment of the impact of the proposed road on the fisheries resources.
