By HFNICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnol BIBLIOGRAPHY -ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES. OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. NO .''5 (REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.5, published in 1978 as Fish. Environm.Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (804). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only. However, the Canadian Freshwater Features Section will be sent if specifically requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.5(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in numerical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used. Apart from French names, it is usual for the specific name to precede the generic name, as in Elliot Lake, but in a few cases the reverse is true, such as Lake Nipissing, in which case the latter will appear as Nipissing, Lake, with a comma after the specific name. The words Saint and Sainte are abbreviated to St. and Ste. respectively but appear in the sequence as if they were spelled in full. Approved Names - these are always printed in upper case. As well as those given in the Gazetteers and their Supplements, these names also include some which have been only recently approved and it is unlikely, therefore, that for the present at least these new names will be found on the topographical maps. Previous Names - these are always printed in lower case. As well as appearing in alphabetical order with the approved names they can also be found below and to the right of the relevant approved names. Misspelled names as found in the literature also come under this category. Each previous name will appear only once in the bibliographies. Temporary names - these are given by investigators to those freshwater features which are unnamed. Where their geographical coordinates are known, they appear in the bibliographies in upper case and preceded by an asterisk(*). In some cases, more accurate positioning than latitude and longitude is available from the compiler. When these features are allocated an approved name, which need not be the same as the temporary name, by the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographic Names, notification will appear in amendment lists published in later issues. The numbers in brackets following the geographical coordinates refer to the numbered references in the Reference Index. NOTICE TO AUTHORS The most time-consuming work involved in the preparation of these bibliographies is the identification of those freshwater features which are inadequately described in the literature. A great deal of published data cannot be included in this series because the features referred to cannot be identified. Authors are therefore urged to include the geographical coordinates as given in the Gazetteers or their Supplements when referring to Canadian freshwater features in their publications. - 1 - REFERENCE INDEX 4001.

    EIRB File No. 02/10-05 May 2011 ISSUED FOR USE 215 3.1.9 Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat This section of the document focuses on terrestrial mammals likely to be found within the local and regional study area and is based on a review of background information and traditional knowledge as well as the results of field studies. As defined under the IFA, “wildlife” means all fauna in a wild state other than reindeer. Section 3.1.9 considers terrestrial mammals and Section 3.1.10 considers birds. 3.1.9.1 Terrestrial Mammals There are 34 species of terrestrial mammals potentially occurring in the Regional Study Area for the proposed Highway (Table 3.1.9-1). The local and regional abundance and distribution of these species varies considerably depending on habitat availability and access to terrain suitable for various life history phases, such as calving and denning. No terrestrial mammal species were assessed as “at risk” under the NWT General Status Ranking Program (GNWT ENR 2011a).

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

  • 3.3 River Morphology
    NATURAL HERITAGE 159 3.3 River Morphology The Ottawa River environment changes constantly. Rivers can be divided into three zones: the headwater stream zone, middle‐order zone and lowland zone. The Ottawa River displays characteristics of each of these zones. Along its path, the river alternates between rapids, lakes, shallow bays, and quiet stretches. More than 80 tributaries contribute their water to the river’s force. As a tributary itself, the Ottawa River meets the St. Lawrence River at its southern end. The numerous dams along the Ottawa River affect the duration, frequency, timing and rate of the natural water flow. 3.3.1 Channel Pattern Because water will always travel in the path of least resistance, a river’s channel pattern, or map view, is a response to the physiographic features of the area. The channel pattern of a river can take many forms. Kellerhals et al (1976) suggest classifying channel patterns into six categories: straight, sinuous, irregular (wandering), irregular meanders, regular meanders, and tortuous meanders. Overall, the Ottawa River is a constrained, straight river that has been highly altered. The river is said to be constrained because it exists within a valley, although a flood plain exists on the Ontario shore of the river and on parts of the Quebec shore. For the most part there is a main river channel lacking the sinuosity generally observed in unconstrained rivers. Figure 3.25 Main River Channel of the Ottawa Source: Christian Voilemont NATURAL HERITAGE 160 Figure 3.26 Ottawa River Watershed Source : Jan Aylsworth 3.3.2 Landforms and Depositional Forms Material that is transported down a river can be deposited temporarily and then reactivated as the channel shifts, creating transient landforms.

    The State of the Environment in Lacombe County Lacombe County would like to acknowledge the contributions of the following people in preparing this report on the state of the environment in Lacombe County. Blayne West, Lacombe County Senior Management Team, Lacombe County Planning Team, Larry Riep, Barry Cole, Doug Neis, Sarah Skinner, Jay White, Donna Hennig, Michael Kartusch. To obtain additional copies of the report: On the web: The State of the Environment in Lacombe County is available on our website www.lacombecounty.com. Paper copies: Please contact Lacombe County directly at 403-782-6601 First printing April 2013 Page. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A State of the Environment Report is an important tool for Lacombe County. It provides a snapshot of the current condition of the environment and the pressures that impact it. This document examines the state of the environment in Lacombe County through a scientific and socio-economic planning structure. The scientific approach focuses on analysing available data to identify and assess changes in the environment over time. The planning approach uses social norms to compare and rank alternative choices, to balance environmental, economic and social objectives, and to initiate management options. The report outlines community perception, scientific data, current environmental legislation and environmental extension programs. It is a compilation of information gathered from various sources and provides us with a baseline. It does not include management recommendations or future planning considerations. This document is a snapshot in time; it represents only the data that is available at the time of writing. Lacombe County is located in Central Alberta, straddling six towns and villages and bordering five counties.
