Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.

  • Fisheries Barriers in Native Trout Drainages
    Alberta Conservation Association 2018/19 Project Summary Report Project Name: Fisheries Barriers in Native Trout Drainages Fisheries Program Manager: Peter Aku Project Leader: Scott Seward Primary ACA Staff on Project: Jason Blackburn, David Jackson, and Scott Seward Partnerships Alberta Environment and Parks Environment and Climate Change Canada Key Findings • We compiled existing barrier location information within the Peace River, Athabasca River, North Saskatchewan River, and Red Deer River basins into a centralized database. • We catalogued fish habitat and community data for the Narraway River watershed for use in a population restoration feasibility framework. • We identified 107 potential barrier locations within the Narraway River watershed, using Google Earth ©, which will be refined using valley confinement modeling and validated with ground truthing in 2019. Introduction Invasive species pose one of the greatest threats to Alberta native trout species, through hybridization, competition, and displacement. These threats are partially mediated by the presence of natural headwater fish-passage barriers, namely waterfalls, that impede upstream 1 invasions. In Alberta, several sub-populations of native trout remain genetically pure primarily because of waterfalls. Identification and inventory of waterfalls in the Peace River, Athabasca River, North Saskatchewan River, and Red Deer River basins isolating pure populations and their habitats is critical to inform population recovery and build implementation strategies on a stream by stream basis. For example, historical stocking of non-native trout to the Narraway River watershed may be endangering native bull trout and Arctic grayling. Non-native cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout have been stocked in the Torrens River, Stetson Creek, and Two Lakes, all of which have connectivity to the Narraway River.

  • 2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report
    2009-2013 Jasper National Park Caribou Progress Report Lalenia Neufeld Mark Bradley Saakje Hazenberg With contributions from: John Wilmshurst Shelley Bird Colleen Arnison Amy Flasko Executive Summary Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) range throughout North America has retracted northward and many populations across Canada are in decline. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has defined Canadian populations as Endangered (Atlantic- Gaspésie), Threatened (Southern Mountain and Boreal), Special Concern (Northern Mountain), and Not at Risk (Newfoundland) (Thomas and Gray 2002). Woodland caribou in Jasper National Park belong to the Threatened Southern Mountain Population. Phase I of the Jasper Woodland Caribou Recovery Action Plan was implemented in 2005. Its larger goals were to increase awareness of woodland caribou and recommend a suite of actions to mitigate factors contributing to caribou decline. Implementation of recovery actions began in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, shortly after the Plan was signed by Parks Canada. In 2007, as a follow-up to the Action Plan, the Mountain Parks Caribou Coordinating Committee initiated development of a Conservation Strategy for caribou in the mountain national parks. The strategy is intended to contribute towards meeting Parks Canada’s obligations under Canada's National Parks Act and the Species at Risk Act. Key direction for caribou recovery and sustainability, which is aligned with Parks Canada’s mandate of ecological integrity, public education, and visitor experience, is being formulated with the incorporation of the results from the public and Aboriginal consultations recently completed into the management plan. Required knowledge for informed management relies on the caribou monitoring program, the results of which are reported herein.
