Additional Fisheries Experience
Exploring the effects of a major coal mine tailings release on the provincially threatened Athabasca Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)Project Lead: Nathan Medinski
Led an electrofishing crew and collected fish, benthic and terrestrial invertebrates, aquatic and terrestrial vegetation, and habitat samples. The data collected is being used to quantify food web dynamics at both disturbed and undisturbed sites within the Athabasca River watershed. |
Distribution of Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in the Little Nahanni watershed, NWTProject Leads: Morag McPherson & Brent Lewis
Electrofished tributaries of the Little Nahanni River in Nahanni National Park Reserve and Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve to gain an understanding of Arctic Grayling occupancy and juvenile habitat use within the watershed. |
Delineating Westslope Cutthroat Trout (Onchorhynchus clarkii) populations in relation to Eastern Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) distribution in a sub-alpine waterbody of Banff National ParkProject Affiliation: Parks Canada
Assisted in a research project to determine genetic purity of the federally threatened Westslope Cutthroat Trout in an area where the species range overlaps with invasive Eastern Brook Trout in the Bow River watershed. |
The effect of hydrologic alteration on capture efficiency of freshwater fishes in a highly modified prairie streamProject Lead: Kenton Neufeld
Assisted in a gear efficiency study using seine netting in the highly managed Milk River system of southern Alberta. The project was conducted to verify sampling efforts on capture rates of the federally threatened Western Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus argyritis). |
