Description

This set of resources describes the Research Licence - Pre-Approved Assessments and Salvages (RL-PAAS), a licence for those whose work involves a high volume of fish and fish habitat assessment projects associated with collecting, holding, sampling fish for inventory or conducting fish rescues and salvages. The fact sheet includes information on when and how to apply, approval considerations and how to use this special licence. The decision tree diagram shows when to apply for an RL-PAAS compared to a Fish Research Licence, while the flow diagram demonstrates when and how to use the RL-PAAS once it has been issued. The process guide outlines the required steps to submit RL-PAAS licence notifications and approvals in writing, inform of project delays or cancelations and submit RL-PAAS data loadforms.

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 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.
