  • A Description of Northern Minnesota, by a Fur-Trader in 1807
    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS A DESCRIPTION OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA BY A FUR-TRADER IN 1807 Contemporary descriptions of northern Minnesota before 1810 — even published accounts—are so rare that they may be counted on one's fingers. Therefore, when the document printed below was found among the Masson Papers in the library of McGill University, its value was immediately appar­ ent. Though portions of it have been quoted in two well- known studies of the Northwest, the manuscript as a whole has remained in obscurity.1 From its century of oblivion it is now recalled and given the publicity it deserves as an unusually detailed picture of northern Minnesota under the regime of the Northwest Company. ' The account was written at the request of Roderic McKen- zie, a prominent bourgeois, or partner, of the Northwest Com­ pany, who contemplated writing a history of the company. To secure the requisite data, in 1806 he sent printed circulars to many of the wintering partners and clerks, requesting them to collect and send him, in the form of letters or journals, such information as they could obtain on the regions and natives with which they were most intimately connected. 2 To George Henry Monk, Jr., McKenzie sent one of these circulars. The letter printed below is the reply. Whether the description of the region was sent with the letter or a little later does not appear, though the two could not have been widely separated in point of time. Our information concern­ ing Monk is scanty enough. At the time of the writing of this 1 Gordon C.

Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

  • 2011 Current River Fish Habitat Assessment Final.Pdf
    2011 Current River Fish Habitat Assessment December 1, 2011 Prepared for: Thunder Bay District Stewardship Council & Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Thunder Bay, ON Prepared by: Dr. Robert F. Foster 2011 Current River Assessment ABSTRACT Fish habitat mapping and electrofishing was conducted between August 31 and September 23, 2011 on the Current River below the Boulevard Lake dam and its mouth at Lake Superior. A total of 1063 fish of 10 species were caught during 10,976 seconds of electrofishing. Large fish species included one adult and five young of the year (YOY) walleye, 63 rainbow trout, 3 brook trout, and 32 YOY white sucker. Bedrock substrate comprises approximately 71% of the approximately 47,500 m2 of channel habitat, with cobble comprising much of the rest, particularly in middle reaches near Cumberland Street. During the drought conditions observed during the survey, only 44% of the channel below the high water mark was wetted. Although pool habitats represent only about 35% of the wetted habitat at low flows, they provide significant fish habitat. In particular, the bedrock pools above the generating station encompass approximately about 2000 m2 or 8% of the total channel area above the GS, but contained 477 fish of eight species. These fish habitat values have implications for water management planning, particularly minimum flows requirements in the bypass reach and its relation to leakage flows. Cover photo: Current River below Boulevard Lake Dam on September 2011 2 2011 Current River Assessment 1 INTRODUCTION Several potential fish habitat issues have been identified for the lower reaches of the Current River between Boulevard Lake and Lake Superior including: stranding of anadromous fish e.g., rainbow trout in or below the fish ladder below the Boulevard Lake Dam; potentially poor recruitment of walleye due to limited spawning success poor spawning runs of rainbow smelt due to inappropriate flow regimes; and other potential, unidentified impacts on spawning and nursery habitat for native fish species (e.g.

  • The State of Lake Superior in 2005
    THE STATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR IN 2005 SPECIAL PUBLICATION 10-01 The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between Canada and the United States, which was ratified on October 11, 1955. It was organized in April 1956 and assumed its duties as set forth in the Convention on July 1, 1956. The Commission has two major responsibilities: first, develop coordinated programs of research in the Great Lakes, and, on the basis of the findings, recommend measures which will permit the maximum sustained productivity of stocks of fish of common concern; second, formulate and implement a program to eradicate or minimize sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The Commission is also required to publish or authorize the publication of scientific or other information obtained in the performance of its duties. In fulfillment of this requirement the Commission publishes the Technical Report Series, intended for peer-reviewed scientific literature; Special Publications, designed primarily for dissemination of reports produced by working committees of the Commission; and other (non-serial) publications. Technical Reports are most suitable for either interdisciplinary review and synthesis papers of general interest to Great Lakes fisheries researchers, managers, and administrators, or more narrowly focused material with special relevance to a single but important aspect of the Commission's program. Special Publications, being working documents, may evolve with the findings of and charges to a particular committee. Both publications follow the style of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Sponsorship of Technical Reports or Special Publications does not necessarily imply that the findings or conclusions contained therein are endorsed by the Commission.

  • Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District, Ontario
    Thunder Bay Field Naturalists Checklist of Fish es of Thunder Bay District , Ontario 31 December 2019 Introduction This first edition of Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District adds to existing checklists prepared by members of the Thunder Bay Field Naturalists (TBFN) covering other vertebrate taxa (mammals, birds, reptiles & amphibians), as well vascular plants, butterflies, and odonates. As with these other checklists, it covers the official judicial District of Thunder Bay (Figure 1). The District extends from the eastern border of Quetico Provincial Park east to White River, and from the international border north to Lake St. Joseph and the Albany River. Much of the District (60%) is within the Great Lakes watershed, with the remaining draining into the Arctic Ocean either north via the Hudson Bay Lowlands, or west via Rainy Lake/Lake of the Woods and the Nelson River watershed. Figure 1. Judicial District of Thunder Bay with primary watersheds and protected areas. 2 The fish species of the Thunder Bay District mostly reflect post-glacial colonization, modified by more recent ecological and anthropogenic influences. The Wisconsinan ice mass began to retreat north of Lake Superior circa 10,700 BP (Farrand and Drexler 1985), allowing fish to initially colonize the Thunder Bay area (Momot and Stephenson 1996). The Marquette advance circa 9900 BP likely wiped out these early colonizers, but its retreat around 9700 BP allowed many species access from glacial refugia in the Mississippi River basin to the south (Mandrak and Crossman 1992b; Stephenson and Momot 1994). Some species invaded from the east via the outlet of Lake Minong and Lake Superiors’ other post-glacial predecessors.
