Description

The bull trout, the provincial fish of Alberta, is a native species that occurs in all of the major river basins of the province. It has been designated a Species of Special Concern because of the declines in distribution and abundance, as well as continued threats from habitat alteration and introduced competitive species. This plan provides background information on the species and outlines a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goal of restoring and maintaining viable, self-sustaining bull trout populations throughout the majority of the species' historic range in the province, and to once again provide some measure of harvest opportunity for the species. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern in Alberta, to provide guidance for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. They are intended to be a resource tool for provincial and regional fish and wildlife, land and resource management...

Description

Presents findings of a survey of five bull trout spawning tributaries of the upper Clearwater River to describe the physical characteristics of the spawning sites, and determine if environmental conditions were limiting to egg and alevin survival at these sites. A previous study had showed that these spring streams, characterized by stable water flows and stable water temperatures, provide 90 per cent of the known spawning areas for bull trout in the Clearwater River.
