Summary: The researchers would like to collect stickleback fish in Fox Holes Lakes. These fish will be used for laboratory crosses to determine which genes control the number, shapes, and sizes of bones in the skeleton. The research team will consist of Dr. Michael Shapiro and one other member of the Research Team. They will access Fox Holes Lake by car, since a road provides direct access to the lakesh...

Principal Investigator: Couture, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2004 2001 2000
Summary: In the spring, this research will consist of fish migration and stream habitat studies. The immigration and emigration of key fish species (grayling and northern pike) will be evaluated. In the late summer, fish population assessments will be done in Kennady Lake and tributary streams including habitat mapping for attributes and species use. This data will fill some of the existing information gap...
