Water and Fish Program Lead Dr. Benjamin Kissinger was out sampling streams in the Kakwa River watershed in collaboration with Dr. Neil Mochnacz and crew members from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Over four intense days, the team managed to sample 43 sites between Grande Prairie and Grande Cache.
This is the start of a multi-year project that will examine how different land-use activities have affected fish populations over the last 20 years. It will also determine the best way to sample fish populations to assess long-term trends.
