Northern Pike (lakes) FSI : Northern Pike (lakes) population status history

Description

Historically, northern pike were present in most Alberta’s fish-bearing lakes. Although there are stocking records indicating northern pike have been introduced to some waterbodies as a part of fisheries enhancement programs or adult fish transfers, overall stocking efforts for this species have been minimal compared to other sport fish species. Many Alberta lakes are too cold or naturally limited by low oxygen or high salinity and would not have supported northern pike or other sport fish species.
