Twin Valley Dam environmental monitoring program : Little Bow River fish inventory project

Description

The report describes the fish community of the Little Bow River, based on the results of field sampling conducted in 2005 and 2006. Assessment of the fish community was completed as part of the Twin Valley Dam environmental monitoring program. Monitoring was intended to determine the environmental impacts of the construction and operation of Twin Valley Dam and the effectiveness of environmental mitigation measures. In 2005 and 2006, the fish assemblage in the Little Bow River was generally unchanged compared to previous post-dam monitoring results. The Little Bow River fish assemblage is influenced by entrainment of fish from the Highwood River upstream from the Twin Valley Dam Reservoir and by movement and migration of fish from Travers Reservoir, downstream from Twin Valley Dam.
