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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • The Evaluation of Wetland Restoration Potential Within the Cornwallis River Study Area
    The Evaluation of Wetland Restoration Potential within the Cornwallis River Study Area Report Prepared by: McCallum Environmental Ltd. 2 Bluewater Road, Suite 115 Bedford, Nova Scotia B4B 1G7 February 28, 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this Evaluation of Wetland Restoration Potential (EWRP) study was to identify technically feasible and ecologically valuable options for future wetland restoration projects, as well as to identify potential areas suitable to detain and store water within a historically degraded watershed. The Study Area lies within the Cornwallis River Secondary Watershed, Nova Scotia. The Study Team identified a Study Area based on a select group of four tertiary watershed basins within land degraded by agricultural activity in the Cornwallis River Secondary Watershed. In Nova Scotia, the Department of Natural Resources owns and operates the Wetlands Inventory Database. This database is currently used to identify wetland habitat in Nova Scotia. However, it is commonly understood within industry and government that this database significantly underrepresents the quantity of wetlands throughout the province of Nova Scotia. Therefore, EWRP first identified and evaluated a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tool, the potential wetland layer (PWL), to aid in the identification of potential wetland habitat and associated potential wetland restoration opportunities. This PWL was created for the defined Study Area within the Cornwallis River Secondary Watershed. In addition, a new drainage class layer recently developed by the Department of Natural Resources (NSDNR) was obtained, and integrated into the PWL for analysis. The drainage layer is based on the provincially available Wet Areas Mapping layer as modified by texture class (from CanSIS soil descriptions), and slope (derived from Digital Elevation Model layer) influences.
