Description

This standard is meant to serve as a "minimum criteria" for surveys of small, easily wadeable streams, and is designed to capture essential data from descriptions of habitat, fish community composition and fish abundance. Consistent collection of fish community composition and abundance during surveys of small streams facilitates data management and provides a broader temporal and spatial analysis of fish communities in Alberta.

Description

This standard sets out a consistent method for the collection of data on diversity, abundance and population structure of small-bodied fishes in Alberta. Comparative information on these fishes is necessary to assess changes in ecological integrity. Specific management needs such as commercial bait fish management and ecosystems effects of fish regulations also require comparative information on small-bodied fish.

Description

The report is organized into two parts. Part one contains brief technical summaries of methods used to establish instream flow needs determinations in the South Saskatchewan river basin that provide for full protection of the aquatic environment. The purpose of summarizing these techniques within the following document is to provide a basis for the methodology used to evaluate impacts from alternative flow management scenarios. The second part of this document then explains the impact ratings methodology and demonstrates its application using example flow management scenarios applied to seven reaches of the Red Deer River.
