| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the key geomorphology research questions identified in the workshop that relate to the recruitment failure. While a number of aspects of the geomorphology of the Nechako River may be affecting the fitness of the white sturgeon population (e.g. side channel habitat and habitat availability for predators), the focus of this memorandum is the substrate in the Vanderhoof Reach and providing a means of getting eggs and larvae to survive until the larvae drift stage. The memo provides a summary of the key research questions that need to be examined to inform the future development and implementation of habitat restoration that will improve egg and larval survival to the drift stage at the contemporary spawning locations. While the ideas and concepts presented in the memo are based on contributions from everyone who attended the charrette. |
