Description

The objective of the project was to gather sufficient data within each of the eight water bodies to make it possible to determine if each water body has appropriate habitat (depth and water quality) to support stocked fish throughout the year. The recorded information will also determine which fish species would be best suited for stocking based on habitat conditions. The eight lakes that were assessed were Dolberg Lake, Salter’s Lake, Muir Lake, Cardiff Park Pond, Black Nugget Mine Pit Lake, Dillberry Lake, Blood Indian Creek Reservoir, and Tyrell Lake. To achieve the project objective, a bathymetry survey and several water quality profiles at different seasons throughout the year were completed for each lake.

Description

Province-wide fisheries management strategies must rely on the basic building block of assessments of the status of individual stocks of fish. For fisheries management strategies and plans to be consistent across Alberta, fish stock assessments must be comparable between stocks, areas and time. To achieve this objective, a standardized process of assessment, called the Fish Sustainability Index (FSI) has been developed. While the FSI is an innovative tool developed to support Alberta fisheries management, users must also understand the limitations to the data presented in assessments. These limitations are outlined in this publication.
