Twin Valley Dam environmental monitoring program : Little Bow River and Mosquito Creek fish inventory project, 2014

Description

The report describes the fish communities of the Little Bow River and Mosquito Creek, based on the results of field sampling conducted in 2014. 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 2014, the fish assemblages in the Little Bow River and Mosquito Creek were 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.
