Dissolved Oxygen Requirements for Fish of the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins by M. A. Giles,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf
Adverse effects of low environmental oxygen on fish reproduction represents a distinct possibility in the Athabasca and Peace drainages. Species spawning in late fall and winter, such as burbot, would be the most likely to be impacted by low dissolved oxygen (DO). This report describes a study whose objective was to define the temporal changes in reproductive hormones, identify changes in blood electrolytes, haemoglobin, hematocrit, and blood oxygen content, and evaluate the viability of eggs and sperm for burbot during the period of sexual development under normal and hypoxic conditions. The results evaluate the potential of realistic winter water temperatures and hypoxic conditions to impair reproductive performance and induce stress in spawning burbot in the Northern River Basins Study area.

Dissolved Oxygen Conditions and Fish Requirements in the Athabasca, Peace and Slave Rivers by Patricia A. Chambers,Thomas A. Mill,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf
The NTBS was designed to address the ecological concerns about pulp mill expansion, and to increase scientific knowledge about environmental conditions [ecology, ecosystem sustainability, water pollution and control, habitat, effect on fish and fishing, etc.] in the major river systems of the north. The study's objectives were to gather and interpret sound scientific information about the basins, develop appropriate recommendations for basin management, and communicate effectively with the public. The government response report confirms the governments' commitment to ecosystem sustainability and to pollution control in northern rivers. First Nations and Metis aboriginal [native] peoples contributed significantly to the NRBS.

Aquatic Insects by Kleber Del-Claro,Rhainer Guillermo Pdf
This book presents a broad view of the ecology and behavior of aquatic insects, raising awareness of this conspicuous and yet little known fauna that inhabits inland waterbodies such as rivers, lakes and streams, and is particularly abundant and diverse in tropical ecosystems. The chapters address topics such as distribution, dispersal, territoriality, mating behavior, parental care and the role of sensory systems in the response to external and internal cues. In the context of ecology, it discusses aquatic insects as bio indicators that may be used to assess environmental disturbances, either in protected or urban areas, and provides insights into how genetic connectivity can support the development of novel conservation strategies. It also explores how aquatic insects can inspire solutions for various problems faced by modern society, presenting examples in the fields of material science, optics, sensorics and robotics.

It brings together information from several regional specialists on the major river basins of North America, presented in a large-format, full-color book. The introduction covers general aspects of geology, hydrology, ecology and human impacts on rivers. This is followed by 22 chapters on the major river basins. Each chapter begins with a full-page color photograph and includes several additional photographs within the text. These chapters feature three to five rivers of the basin/region, and cover several other rivers with one-page summaries. Rivers selected for coverage include the largest, the most natural, and the most affected by human impact. This one-of-a-kind resource is professionally illustrated with maps and color photographs of the key river basins. Readers can compare one river system to another in terms of its physiography, hydrology, ecology, biodiversity, and human impacts. * Extensive treatment provides a single source of information for North America's major rivers* Regional specialists provide authoritative information on more than 200 rivers* Full-color photographs and topographical maps demonstrate the beauty, major features, and uniqueness of each river system* One-page summaries help readers quickly find key statistics and make comparisons among rivers

Fish Collections, Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins, September to December, 1994 by Toni-Lynne Jacobson,Thomas David Boag,Northern River Basins Study (Canada),D. Creurer Pdf
Presents a study that collected and prepared fish from 23 sites along the Peace, Athabasca, and Slave river drainages in order to conduct physical, physiological, contaminant, and biophysical analyses. The primary fish species targeted for collection and analysis was burbot, used as a sentinel species for monitoring contaminants in northern waters because of its wide distribution, ease of catching, place at the top of the aquatic food chain, and large liver which can bioaccumulate organic compounds. Other species collected were northern pike, longnose sucker, and flathead chub. Specific analyses included gross pathology, metals, liver mixed function oxygenase induction, sex steroids and gonad morphology, retinols, metallothioneins, and basic life history information. Fish were also examined externally and internally for gross pathological abnormalities and deformities. Appendices contain descriptions of fish collection and handling protocols, as well as detailed data.
Freshwater Fishes of North America by Melvin L. Warren Jr.,Brooks M. Burr Pdf
The highly anticipated second volume of Freshwater Fishes of North America, a monumental, fully illustrated reference that provides comprehensive details on the freshwater fishes of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. When the first volume of Freshwater Fishes of North America was published, it was immediately hailed as the definitive reference in the field. Readers have been fervently awaiting the next volume in this encompassing three-book set ever since. Now complete, volume 2, covering families Characidae to Poeciliidae, is the result of decades of analysis by leading fish experts from universities and research laboratories across North America. Each volume in this authoritative synthesis covers the ecology, morphology, reproduction, distribution, behavior, taxonomy, conservation, and the fossil record of the included North American fish families. The encyclopedic reviews of each family are accompanied by color photographs (nearly 250 in this volume alone), range maps, and artwork created by noted fish illustrator Joseph R. Tomelleri. The result is a rich textual and visual experience that covers everything known about the diversity, natural history, ecology, and biology of North American freshwater fishes. Volume 2 covers the following North American families of fishes: Characidae (Characins) Ictaluridae (North American Catfishes) Ariidae (Sea Catfishes) Heptapteridae (Three-barbeled Catfishes) Osmeridae (Smelts) Esociformes (Esocidae, Pikes and Umbridae, Mudminnows) Percopsidae (Trout-perches) Amblyopsidae (Cavefishes) Aphredoderidae (Pirate Perches) Gadidae (Cods and Cuskfishes) Mugilidae (Mullets) Atherinopsidae (New World Silversides) Beloniformes (Needlefishes and Halfbeaks) Rivulidae (New World Rivulines) Profundulidae (Middle American Killifishes) Goodeidae (Goodeids) Fundulidae (Topminnows) Cyprinodontidae (Pupfishes) Poeciliidae (Livebearers) The chapter authors of Volume 2 are: Gianetta Adams Clyde Barbour Micah Bennett Ricardo Bentancur-R.

Assessment and Validation of Modelling Under-ice Dissolved Oxygen Using DOSTOC, Athabasca River, 1988 to 1994 by Patricia A. Chambers,Northern River Basins Study (Canada) Pdf
The aim of this study was to examine the existing model approach and to make recommendations for improved modelling of under-ice dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the Athabasca River. Previous modelling efforts have involved using the DO simulation model DOSTOC, but discrepancies between observed and predicted DO concentrations for 1992 and 1993 highlighted the needs for a review and assessment of the modelling approaches used. This report reviews the structure of the DOSTOC model and input data used for modelling, then describes a stochastic run of the model using the best available values for input data and process rates, including revised rates and ratios for converting five-day biological oxygen demand (BOD) values to ultimate BOD values, measured values for sediment oxygen demand and sedimentation, and a temperature correction for pulp mill BOD decay rates. Simulation results indicate whether the model could predict DO for 1990-94 winters. Regression equations were also developed relating DO concentration to river distance.
