Summary: Fieldwork is required to determine the potential effects of a ramping event (sudden shutdown of the power generation facility) on fish and fish habitat within the lower reaches of the La Martre River. This information would be added to the overall fish and fish habitat effects assessment and will identify potential mitigation measures, if required. Specific objectives of the field program includ...

Summary: The objective of this survey is to provide conclusive evidence of fish presence/absence and additional stream flow assessments. Fish will be captured using various techniques. All fish will be held for short duration in a live well, until they have recovered from stress. Biological information such as length, weight, species and health will be collected, and fish will be then be returned to...

Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The objective of this project is to collect biological and hydrological information on Hill Creek. It is unknown as to whether or not the culvert at the Hill Creek highway crossing is large enough to allow for the spring migration of spawning fish. The researchers will collect fisheries and habitat information on Hill Creek. This data will include fish presence/absence, lifestage and species com...

Principal Investigator: Brewin, Kerry M
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect biological information from both the control sites and the treatment sites within Matthews Lake and the surrounding area. The objective is to monitor these sites and collect enough information to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2004 habitat enhancement and construction activities. Field crews will fly to Matthews Lake, landing either on the runway or th...

Licensed Year(s): 2004 2003
Summary: The main objective of this study is to characterize environmental conditions and supplement existing environmental information for possible use in long-term (i.e., multi-year) Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) programs as required of the Giant and C...

Principal Investigator: Chubb, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001
Summary: This project is to meet the requirements of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Sable and Two Rock Lakes will be lost through the course of mining activities and the scientific collection of data related to the fish population prior to their removal...
