Life history characteristics of freshwater fishes occurring in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut with major emphasis in riverine habitat requirements

Presents findings of intensive literature review of the life history & habitat requirements of all freshwater fish species in the Northwest Territories & Nunavut, with specific emphasis on riverine habitat requirements. Preferences for physical habitat features such as water depth, substrate, and cover are rated as nil, low, medium, or high. Habitat preference tables are presented for 43 of 46 species. Where possible, habitat preferences of different morphs or life history types are addressed. Habitat requirements across four life history stages (eggs, young of the year, juvenile, & adult) are recorded for each species, along with known species life history types & distributions.

  • "An intensive literature review was undertaken to summarize what is currently known about fish use of freshwater habitats in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. A previous report summarized the lacustrine habitat requirements, thus this report focuses on species that use riverine environments for a portion of their life history. Habitat preferences for physical features such as water depth, substrate type, cover useage, and water quality were rated as nil, low, medium, or high. Of the 46 species in this area, information was sufficient to complete 43 habitat tables for four stages of development (eggs, young-of-the-year, juveniles and adults). A summary of the life history, distribution and habitat requirements for each species can be found in the text. Initially, comparisons of fish habitat utilization were to be made across the different ecoregions of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, however, the lack of studies which have examined riverine habitat in this area precluded this. This study along with the previous lacustrine report has outlined the substantial data gap that exists in our current understanding of northern freshwater fish species and indicates further studies must be performed."
