Fish. Handling and transport associated with reintroduction, translocation, or monitoring activities are expected to result in temporary physiological stress and altered behavior on individual fish. This effect is expected to dissipate shortly after release. Changes in temperature, turbidity and surroundings of the natural environment may also result in physiological and behavioral stress. Feeding behaviors are not expected to be significantly affected and covered fish species are anticipated to forage in both the artificial and natural environments. After some time, it is expected that the covered fish species will recover from any short-term physiological and behavioral effects and adapt to the new surroundings. Monitoring activities include mostly actions by KDWP to measure the condition of covered fish species habitat and populations status on enrolled lands. Some of these activities may result in take of covered fish species, but such take is anticipated to be minimal and the monitoring is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the reintroduction. Examples of monitoring activities include the following. • Capture and handling of covered fish species by various techniques, including trapping, netting, electrofishing, and angling. • Tagging of covered fish species to measure survival and movement. • Measurement of aquatic physical habitat, including, but not limited to, channel cross sections, habitat unit mapping, riparian zone surveys, and stream temperatures. • Ongoing operation of flow-monitoring devices. Habitat management actions or land use activities in streamside habitats may cause individual fish to disperse away from the activity locations. Such disturbance to individuals is likely to be temporary and, thus, will not likely adversely affect the feeding, breeding, or sheltering of these fish. Reintroduction and monitoring have the potential to result in the injury or mortality of individuals. Estimated incidental take is expected to be less than 1% of the reintroduced population. Any impacts from incidental take would be outweighed by the expected benefits to the local or regional population from reintroduction and habitat management actions.
Fish. The most recent Peel River fish contaminants study was done in 1999. This study was carried out due to continued concerns from Fort XxXxxxxxx residents regarding the safety of eating fish from the Peel River. The concerns were related to an abandoned Shell oil exploration site and possible point source of contaminants upstream on the Peel River near the Peel/Caribou River confluence. A total of 30 fish, including ten each of inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys), broad whitefish (Coregonus nasus) and burbot (Xxxx xxxx), were examined for a suite of heavy metals and organochlorines. Local fishermen at traditional fishing sites captured all fish. Based on the results of the study, the three fish species from the Peel River were deemed safe for human consumption. No further studies were recommended at that time.
Fish. (1) Prior to the form and content of a Final Agreement and a Tripartite Final Agreement being concluded by the negotiators for the Parties and Saskatchewan, the Parties and Saskatchewan will negotiate with respect to and attempt to reach agreement on the Jurisdiction of a MLFN with respect to fish, fisheries and related matters.
(2) The negotiations referred to in Subsection (1) will address:
(a) the Jurisdiction a MLFN may exercise with respect to:
(i) the protection and harvesting of fish and the management of fisheries;
(ii) the giving or non-commercial trade or barter between MLFN Citizens, and the commercial sale, of fish harvested in a fishery in respect of which a MLFN has Jurisdiction;
(iii) the management of the cultivation and rearing of fish or aquatic plants; and
(iv) the protection and management of spawning grounds and any other areas on which fish depend directly or indirectly in order to carry out their life processes, including nursery, rearing, food supply and migration areas;
(b) any matters within the subject area referred to in Paragraph (a) with respect to which a MLFN may not exercise Jurisdiction;
(c) any standards that a MLFN Law enacted in accordance with the Jurisdiction a MLFN may exercise with respect to the subject area referred to in Paragraph (a) will provide for;
(d) the manner in which an Inconsistency or Conflict between a MLFN Law enacted in accordance with the Jurisdiction a MLFN may exercise with respect to the subject area referred to in Paragraph (a) and any applicable federal or provincial laws will be resolved; and
(e) such other matters as the Parties may agree.
Fish. Fish were collected at each habitat site in late summer or early autumn of 1998-2003. Fish community data has been analyzed for 1998-2002, and samples collected in 2003 are currently being processed. Species richness, abundance, percent composition, and Index of Biotic Integrity scores are being used to assess the responses of fish assemblages to BMPs. From 1998- 2003, boney structures (i.e. scales, fin rays, otoliths of selected fish species were collected) to evaluate age structure and growth rates. Determinating fish growth rates is ongoing and growth data from largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, and longear sunfish from 1998-2001 have been analyzed. Growth rates and age structure of white sucker, yellow bullhead, and creek chub is currently being analyzed and assessed.
Fish. The maximum aquarium size allowed is 25 gallons, which must be maintained on an approved stand. Residents may have only 2 turtles, which must be enclosed in an acceptable cage or container at all times. MHA does not allow pot-bellied pigs, iguanas, snakes, alligators, or any other animal not specifically listed above. Prior to housing any pet on premises owned and/or operated by the Housing Authority. A tenant shall apply to the MHA for a permit to do so. The application must be accompanied by the following:
Fish. Fish tanks may not exceed gallons and must be placed in a safe location in the dwelling unit.
Fish. (i) Due to the presence of spawning fish species no instream works will occur between April 1 and June 15 of any given year.
(ii) If the creation of any isolated areas is required for the performance of the work a fish trapped within the isolated area will be captured and returned to the watercourse unharmed. Fish includes fin fish, crayfish, and mussels (clams).
(iii) A buffer of vegetation will be maintained when working along waterways, where possible.
(iv) The duration of Work and amount of disturbance to the bed and banks of the waterbody will be minimized.
