| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This report describes the state, or health, of fish and fish habitat in the Okanagan and Similkameen basins. It is one component of a Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Planning process that was initiated in 2003, and should be used as a starting point to identify priorities during this process. In order to plan for fish sustainability, we must know what has happened in the past, how fish populations and habitat have changed as a result, what is being done already to conserve fish, and what information is lacking. The report focuses on sockeye salmon, kokanee salmon, and rainbow trout as indicators of ecosystem health. salmonids, aquatic habitat |
