  • The Fish and Fisheries of the Athabasca River Basin
    THE FISH AND FISHERIES OF THE ATHABASCA RIVER BASIN Their Status and Environmental Requirements Ron R. Wallace, Ph.D. Dominion Ecological Consulting, Ltd. and Peter J. McCart, Ph.D. Aquatic Environments Ltd. for Planning Division Alberta Environment March 31, 1984 PREFACE Thi s report was prepared by consul tants supervi sed by Bryan Kemper for Planning Division of Alberta Environment, and Dave Rimmer for Fish and Wildlife Division of Alberta Energy and Natural Resources. The Fisheries Overview series of reports have been commissioned to summarize known data to assist river basin planning studies and assist in the planning of new studies with the appropriate management agencies. The opinions expressed in this report are based upon written and verbal i nformati on provi ded to the consultant and therefore do not necessarily represent those of Alberta Environment. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The information presented here reviews what is currently known of fish ecology and production of the Athabasca Basin, and includes discussions of fish production, sport and commercial use of fish popul ati ons, and alternative opportuniti es for recreational fi shi ng in the rivers of the Athabasca Basin. Fisheries management objectives for the basin rivers and data gaps in existing knowledge of fish and fisheries are also discussed. In addition, water quality criteria for the protection of fish and aquatic life have been referenced, and, where possible, stream flows which affect fish populations have been included. The Athabasca Basin accounts for 23% of the land area of Alberta. For the purposes of this report, the basin has been divided into 10 sub-basins: four mainstem sub-basins, and six tributary sub-basins.
