Scrimgeour, G.J., Hvenegaard, P., Tchir, J., Kendall, S., Wildeman, A. 2003. Stream fish management: cumulative effects of watershed disturbances on stream fish communities in the Kakwa and Simonette River Basins, Alberta. Report produced by the Alberta Conservation Association (Peace River) and the Alberta Research Council (Vegreville) for the Northern Watershed Project Stakeholder Committee. Northern Watershed Project Final Report No. 3. 126 pp. |
Resource Purpose |
We quantified the cumulative effects of watershed disturbances arising from industrial activities on stream fish communities in the Kakwa and Simonette River basins, Alberta, Canada using data collected between
1994 and 2001. Data on fish abundance, community composition and watershed attributes, including descriptors of disturbance, to address the following three focal questions:
1) Is the presence of fish, game fish and individual species affected by watershed disturbances?
2) Are species density and biomass affected by watershed disturbances?
3) Is fish community structure affected by watershed disturbances? |
