The authors are indebted to many people for contributions to the survey and for assistance in preparing the report. Dr. D. B. Cann, Soil Correlator (Atlantic Provinces) of the Soil Research Institute, Canada Department of Agriculture, was engaged in the early field work and later visited the area on several occasions. Various members of the staff of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, Truro, provided information on the vegetation, soils, and crops of the area. The late Prof. H. L. Canieron and Prof. R. H. MacNeill, Departnient of Geology, Acadia University, Wolfville, supplied information on the geology of the County. The authors were assisted in the field by D. Sutherland, D. Higgins, and W. Rector.

ATLANTIC SALMON SURVEY OF ANNAPOLIS RIVER SYSTEM ANNAPOLIS & KINGS COS., N.S. 1957 by 3. Dalziel N. MacEachern ABSTRACT Good salmon spawning grounds were observed on the lower sections of the Nictaux River, Fales River and the South Annapolis River. A few scattered sections of possible spawning grounds exist on the main river between Lawrencetown and Paradise. Good nursery areas extend thr-aghout the snawning areas and includes all of the nain river. Major obstructions were found on all the large branch strepmR and include storage dams, barrier falls, mill dams and diversion canals. Salmon angling is carried out on the rain 7.iver - below -Aiddleton, on the Nictaux River, below Rogers Mill, and on the Lequille and Round Hill.7vers. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 07 STRUM The Annapolis Fiver is a comparatively large stream, about 50 miles long, which rises near Berwick, Kings County,'.3., and flows in a southerly direction through Kings and Annapolis Counties, emptying into Annapolis Basin below Annapolis Royal. The stream was surveyed during June and July, 1957, from Berwick West to the head of tide, including all of the main branch streams. Source to Middleton - From its source down to Mieldletonl the stream flows through neadowland and farmland with small sections of swampland and woodland scattered here and there. The gradient is slight, while the stream for the most part is gently flowing, broken occasionally by short, rapid sections.

  • NSTU Professional Association October Conference Venue Survey Report
    NSTU Professional Association October Conference Venue Survey Report Prepared by: Nova Scotia Teachers Union January 2006 Copyright Nova Scotia Teachers Union, 2006 1 Background There has been on-going discussion about the various venues used by NSTU Professional Associations for the annual October Conference. Some members and some associations have expressed the belief that a combination of logistics (meeting space and size, hotel accommodation, parking, etc.), tradition and member preference has effectively mandated the conference venue to be in the Metro Halifax area. Other members and associations have held that providing their conference at alternate locations around the province has provided greater flexibility and accessibility for teachers. Most of this opinion has rested on an anecdotal base and therefore could not be used to provide meaningful guidance to NSTU Professional Associations. At its meeting of January 20-22, 2005, the Provincial Executive passed the following motion: That the NSTU conduct a survey of the membership with respect to location of conferences, the rotation of association conferences on a province-wide basis and the use of satellite conference sites for large associations. A draft survey, key actions and timetable were developed and presented to the Professional Associations Coordination Committee at its meeting on November 4, 2005 for input, revision and approval. The survey was finalized and approval given for its distribution to teachers prior to December 2005. Methodology A survey instrument was developed (see Appendix B) to determine teachers’ views concerning the venue for the annual October Professional Association conferences. Specifically, this instrument sought to determine whether teachers supported distributing the conferences around the province, the preferred venues and if there was support for the concept of rotating venues.

  • Minas Basin, N.S
    An examination of the population characteristics, movement patterns, and recreational fishing of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in Minas Basin, N.S. during summer 2008 Report prepared for Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co. Ltd. Contributors: Jeremy E. Broome, Anna M. Redden, Michael J. Dadswell, Don Stewart and Karen Vaudry Acadia Center for Estuarine Research Acadia University Wolfville, NS B4P 2R6 June 2009 2 Executive Summary This striped bass study was initiated because of the known presence of both Shubenacadie River origin and migrant USA striped bass in the Minas Basin, the “threatened” species COSEWIC designation, the existence of a strong recreational fishery, and the potential for impacts on the population due to the operation of in- stream tidal energy technology in the area. Striped bass were sampled from Minas Basin through angling creel census during summer 2008. In total, 574 striped bass were sampled for length, weight, scales, and tissue. In addition, 529 were tagged with individually numbered spaghetti tags. Striped bass ranged in length from 20.7-90.6cm FL, with a mean fork length of 40.5cm. Data from FL(cm) and Wt(Kg) measurements determined a weight-length relationship: LOG(Wt) = 3.30LOG(FL)-5.58. Age frequency showed a range from 1-11 years. The mean age was 4.3 years, with 75% of bass sampled being within the Age 2-4 year class. Total mortality (Z) was estimated to be 0.60. Angling effort totalling 1732 rod hours was recorded from June to October, 2008, with an average 7 anglers fishing per tide. Catch per unit effort (Fish/Rod Hour) was determined to be 0.35, with peak landing periods indicating a relationship with the lunar cycle.

Executive Summary During 15 through 20 July 2012, I traveled to Nova Scotia to obtain plant material that Dr. Sam Vander Kloet, Emeritus Professor at Acadia University had obtained during his life. Acadia University Conservatory, Wolfville, had about 100 accessions of subtropical Vaccinium (blueberry) and related genera. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada had about 90 accessions of native North American Vaccinium in their field collections. On Monday 16 July through Wednesday 18 July 2012, I worked at the Herbarium and Conservatory of Acadia University working with Ruth Newell, the Curator. From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, I worked with Dr. Andrew Jamieson, Small fruit Breeder and Geneticist, Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada. I obtained a total of 654 root and stem cuttings of the following genera: Cavendishia (62), Ceratostemma (7), Costera (1), Diogenesia (9), Disterigma (10), Macleania (25), Pernettya (13), Psammisia (7), Spyrospermum (7), and Vaccinium (513). I also obtained two accessions of seed including Vaccinium boreale (1000 count) and Fragaria vesca subsp. alba (2000 count). I obtained a Canadian phytosanitary certificate and had USDA APHIS permits and letters to bring in the Vaccinium and permissible nurserystock.

  • Annapolis Basin Bay of Fundy Estuary Profile Annapolis Basin
    Bay of Fundy Estuary Profiles Annapolis Basin Bay of Fundy Estuary Profile Annapolis Basin The Annapolis Basin is a sub-basin of the Bay of Fundy along the northwestern shore of Nova Scotia and at the western end of the Annapolis Valley. The Annapolis River is the major water source flowing into the estuary. At the NB mouth of the estuary, a narrow channel known as the Digby Gut connects the 44 NS estuary to the Bay of Fundy. Annapolis Royal and Digby are the main communities along the shore of the estuary, and Kingston-Greenwood is within the catchment area. Near Digby, there is a ferry port that connects to Saint John, New Brunswick. The estuary also hosts a tidal power generating station, which is near Annapolis Royal. The economy within the catchment area is largely driven by agriculture. However, Estuary surface area 104.07 km2 there are also several shellfish and finfish aquaculture tenures, and some Width at estuary mouth 1.85 km commercial fisheries near the mouth of the estuary that largely target Shoreline length 200.63 km invertebrates such as crab, lobster, and clams that inhabit tidal mudflats.
