Commentary on the management of fish habitat in northern Canada : information requirements and policy considerations regarding diamond, oil sands and placer mining - literature search

A comprehensive search and assessment of pertinent literature was conducted to determine deficiencies in knowledge with respect to fish and their habitat in northern Canada. Particular emphasis was placed on regions where diamond mining is occurring because of the need to assess the importance of fish habitat that will be affected and to address mitigation, compensatory and restorative measures. This document comprises details of literature searches for a review of the biology and ecology of selected fish species in Arctic Canada. It includes information on various aspects of the biology and ecology of seven species of fish commonly found in streams and lakes of the Lac de Gras watershed of the Northwest Territories. The search also included aspects of watershed ecology, cumulative effects of habitat change, and habitat compensation and restoration strategies.
