Description

Mercury (Hg) enters the environment through natural processes and human activities. There are three forms of Hg: elemental (metallic) mercury, inorganic mercury salts and organic mercury compounds. Methylmercury (MeHg) is often formed from inorganic mercury during biological processes such as methylation by microorganisms in water and sediment. MeHg can accumulate in aquatic organisms including fish. People are exposed to very low levels of mercury in the air, water and food. Some people may be exposed to relatively higher levels of mercury by eating MeHg-containing fish. MeHg accumulates in the human body over time and because it is a known neurotoxin, it is necessary to limit human exposure to MeHg. To protect public health, Health Canada has proposed mercury guidelines and advisories for fish consumption based on total mercury (THg; all forms of Hg in a sample). This dataset was collected as part of long-term monitoring of mercury levels in various species of fish in Albertan...

Description

The report describes sport fish losses due to entrainment in major water diversions from the Bow River between Calgary and the Bassano Dam. Fish entrainment was initially estimated by expanding annual fish rescue data collected from 2001-2023, following methods developed in an earlier study. Entrainment is linked to Bow River sport fish population estimates from 1999-2023. Uncertainty in annual entrainment and population estimates is accounted for using a bootstrapping approach and a hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM) is used to evaluate flow covariates and predict entrainment as a proportion of the Bow River population. Effects of entrainment on sport fish populations are described and recommendations are provided to support fish and water management decision-making.
