Description

Presents the results of an aerial ungulate survey conducted in WMU 544 from Feb. 10 to 12, 2018, using the distance sampling method. The objective of this distance survey was to estimate total population sizes, population densities, and age-sex composition ratios of moose in WMU 544 to inform game management decisions. Aerial surveys are the primary method used to assess the population size, distribution, population trends and herd composition of ungulates in Alberta. This information supports the effective management and conservation of ungulates, and is used to set hunting licence allocations, identify areas with agricultural depredation problems, and determine priority areas for recovery actions.

Description

Lesser Slave Lake is the third largest lake in Alberta and supports important fisheries, provincial parks, recreation areas, water supplies, and other uses. The lake has been well investigated with respect to fisheries but a comprehensive water quality or limnological survey has not been carried out on it previously. To document existing water quality of the lake and its major inflows, particularly with regard to nutrient and algal conditions, a water quality survey was conducted in the 1991-93 period. The two main basins of the lake, five tributaries, and the lake=s outflow were sampled monthly during the ice-free season, and additional sampling was done on the inflow and outflow of Buffalo Bay.
