A Paleolimnological Assessment of the Diatom Communities of Lake Opeongo, Ontario, Canada JeannineMarie St-Jacques Master of Science, 2000 Graduate Department of Botany University of Toronto Abstract Lake Opeongo is an oligotrophic lake in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada (45'42' N, 78O 22' W). Limnological conditions over the past 300 years were tracked using diatoms preserved in the sediments and applying diatom-based transfer functions to infer total phosphorus (TP). Before European settlement, Lake Opeongo was highiy oligotrophic, with the diatom community consisting of Cyclotella stelligera complex with subdorninants Tabellana fJocculosa lllp and Aulacoseira distans. No changes occurred until ca. 1956 when the diatom community shifted to the cuvent mesotrophic assemblage consisting of Asterionella fornosa with lesser amou nts of Cyclotella bodanica var lemanica, C. stelligera cornplex, Fragilaria crotonensis and T. flocculosa /Ilp. This s hift could have occurred due to increased direct human impacts on the watershed; increased post-war fertilizer use; global warrning, including changes in the thermal conditions of the lake; and trophic level changes caused by human manipulation of the fish community of the lake, To Allan and Anita with thanks iii Acknowledgments This research was made possible with financial support from an NSERC grant awarded to M.S.V. Douglas and support to J.M.H. St-Jacques from SATL (Scientific Assessrnent Technology Laboratory, University of Toronto). My supeniisor, Marianne Douglas, deserves my sincere thanks and appreciation, as do my cornmittee rnembers: Bob Jefferies, Helene Cyr, Jock McAndrews and Ann Zimmeman. l thank the Harkness Fisheries Laboratory and Chad Gubala for the use of their facilities during field work and Dr. &an Shuter (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) for his help in retneving unpubtished data from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Scott Milne and Mark Ridgway shared their knowledge of Lake Opeongo and its fish populations with me. Special thank you's are extended to John Birks, Brian Cumming, Roland Hall, and Euan Reavie for their statistical discussions, to Marie-Andree Fallu, Elizabeth Haworth, Jennifer Havelock, Eugene Stoermer and Norman Andresen for their taxonomie help and to Peter Leavitt for his discussions about trophic cascades. Pollen anafysis was done by Jock McAndrews. Finally, l should like to tttank first Nations House, University of Toronto, for all the encouragement and support over the years.

  • LAKE OPEONGO the Ecology of the Fish Community and of Man’S Effects on It
    LAKE OPEONGO The Ecology of the Fish Community and of Man’s Effects on It N. V. MARTIN Research Branch Ontario Department of Lands and Forests Maple, Ontario, Canada and F. E. J. FRY Department of Zoology Ramsay Wright Zoological Laboratories University of Toronto Toronto, Ontario, Canada TECHNICAL REPORT No. 24 GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION 1451 Green Road P. 0. Box 640 Ann Arbor, Michigan March, 1973 FOREWORD This paper is one of seven lake case histories-Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Opeongo, and Lake Kootenay. Concise versions of these papers, together with other lake case histories developed for and by an international symposium on Salmonid Communities in Oligotrophic Lakes (SCOL) appeared in a special issue of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (Vol. 29, No. 6, June, 1972). While this and each of the others in this series is complete in itself, it should be remembered that each formed a part of SCOL and is supplemented by the others. Because much detail of interest to fisheries workers in the Great Lakes area would not otherwise be available, this and the other case histories revised and refined in the light of events at the symposium are published here. SCOL symposium was a major exercise in the synthesis of existing knowledge. The objective was to attempt to identify the separate and joint effects of three major stresses imposed by man: cultural eutrophication, exploitation, and species introduction on fish communities. Recently glaciated oligotrophic lakes were chosen as an “experimental set.” Within the set were lakes which have been free of stresses, lakes which have been subjected to one stress, and lakes which have been subjected to various combinations of stresses.

In some areas we found ancient unending delights of discovery. By early afternoon of the portages, long unused, and it was hard, satisfying work to first day, we came to rapids that required our first full reopen them.

Sager, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Lynne S. Marks, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Peter A. Baskerville, Outside Member Department of History and Classics, University of Alberta iii Abstract In the 1850s, the government of Canada West initiated a project to colonize a vast region of the Canadian Shield known as the Ottawa-Huron Tract. Later, in his influential interpretation, Arthur Lower argued the myth of the inexorable forward movement of the settlement frontier was here shattered by a reality of lakes, rocks, and forest inherently unsuitable for farming. This refrain continues to be repeated by proponents of what I call the failed-settlement narrative.

Many things have changed over the years and the various plan Reviews have responded to those changes. The first Park Master Plan Review was completed in 1979; in 1986 a special Review was completed on private cottage leasehold policy; and the most recent Review, in 1989, dealt with an array of more current issues. In addition, eight separate amendments have been approved to the 1974 Master Plan, dealing with issues from and between reviews. All this activity has resulted in substantive adjustments to a number of policies in the original 1974 plan. Obviously it is time for a new up-to-date plan for the Park to guide day-to-day management and development. This Plan accomplishes that goal. Indeed, the new plan reflects a fine-tuning of the broad thrust of policies in the 1974 plan that have withstood the test of time.

  • The Algonquin Park Trout Fishing Survey Results for the 2009 Season
    The Algonquin Park Trout Fishing Survey Results for the 2009 Season Algonquin Provincial Park is home to the world's largest group of naturally reproducing brook trout lakes. With the help of the public, staff of the Algonquin Fisheries Assessment Unit and Ontario Parks annually try to collect data from as many natural trout waters as possible. We ask trout anglers to tell us about the lakes and rivers they have fished, their estimated effort, trout catches and harvest. In June, a preliminary summary is posted on the Algonquin Park web site. As promised, we also present an annual summary for all surveys returned up to October 31. We are very grateful to The Friends of Algonquin for their generous support and for allowing us to present the results of this survey on their site. We encourage everyone to become a member of this fine organization, as the Friends are responsible for publishing all of the excellent books on fish and fishing in the Park. In future they will offer a detailed and fact- filled depth contour map book for every Algonquin Park stocked lake. A New Feature - Your Words Each year we ask anglers to tell us about their fishing trips, and in 2009, we received 268 comments among the 589 returned surveys. All of them are presented verbatim and anonymously, with a corresponding lake or river to the left of each entry. As fisheries professionals, we feel obliged to address any concerns or inquiries and we'll do so in this open forum. Additionally, this educational and entertaining exercise should reduce the number of questions in future surveys.

Department of Z7~ The University of British/Columbia, Vancouver 89/Canada Date / ii ABSTRACT The distribution of Prosopium cylindraceum (Pallas) and Coregonus clupeaformis (MLtchill) in Algonquin Park, Ontario, suggested that there may be some interaction between these species. In large lakes where both species are present the C_. clupeaformis population is always dominant; in small lakes only, one species is present. During the summer of 1963 the ecological relationships between these species were studied. Lakes Opeongo and Lavieille each contained both species, while in Lakes Redrock and Happy Isle only P. cylindraceum was present. Gill nets were set at frequent intervals, to determine the depth range occupied by the two species and to provide material for stomach analysis and age and growth data.
