| Resource Name | Scrimgeour, G., Hvenegaard, P., Wildeman, A., Tchir, J., Kendall, S. 2003. Stream fish management: relationships between landscape characteristics and fish communities in the Notikewin River Basin, Alberta. Report produced by the Alberta Conservation Association (Peace River, Alberta) and the Alberta Research Council (Vegreville, Alberta) for the Northern Watershed Project Stakeholder Committee. Northern Watershed Project Final Report No. 2. 109 pp. |
| Resource Purpose | Spatial and temporal patterns in stream fish communities in the Notikewin River Basin, Alberta, Canada were evaluated using data from 266 stream reaches sampled between 1995 and 2001. Using these data, we addressed the following five focal questions: 1) How temporally variability is fish presence and density? 2) Is the presence of fish predictable based on stream habitat and watershed variables? 3) Do stream reach and watershed characteristics shape fish assemblage structure? 4) To what extent are relations between fish assemblages and watershed variables applicable to adjacent watersheds? and 5) To what extent are fish assemblages shaped by forest cover attributes. |
