Description

This report summarizes the results of the second year of an ongoing community exposure and health effects assessment program undertaken in the Wood Buffalo region of north eastern Alberta. While the Wood Buffalo region enjoys good air quality most of the time, increased industrial activity and subsequent population growth has raised people's awareness about air quality and quality of life in the region. In response to this, the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) has established a Human Exposure Monitoring Program (HEMP) in the Wood Buffalo region. Supported by scientific and technical assistance from Alberta Health and Wellness, the monitoring results for 2006 are presented in this report.

Description

The focus of this manual is the accurate determination of the age of fish species which are found in Alberta. The manual consists of three parts. The first part deals with general issues pertaining to ageing fish, such as standardization data reporting, the use of data in mathematical models to characterize growth of fish from different populations, general approaches to ageing fish, and a consideration of criteria for the validation of an ageing technique. The second part consists of a discussion of ageing techniques for individual species. The third part is a general account of the use of different structures for ageing fish.
