Freshwater and Marine Ecological Programs Sample Clauses

Freshwater and Marine Ecological Programs i) Freshwater Program The initial freshwater field reconnaissance was conducted on July 17 to 18 and August 30 to 31, 2006. The underlying objective was to xxxxxx information on fish habitat in the freshwater ponds. It was limited to those water bodies near the Schooner Pond Beach Road; it included Baileys Wetland and its tributaries, and the DEVCO settling pond and its inflows. Two minnow traps were set in each of Baileys wetland and the DEVCO settling pond to provide an initial indication of the species present, in addition to the stocked trout. The minnow traps were placed at depths of 0.3 m and 1.0 m below the water’s surface. The results are provided in Section 4.4.8 and the trap locations are illustrated in Figure 3.4. Further field work was conducted in mid July 2008. The objective of this latter trip was to gather additional data on the habitat characteristics, water quality and benthic assemblages characteristic of Baileys wetland and its outlet and inlets. At this time, the following freshwater benthic samples were taken: ⮚ One sample near the outlet of Baileys wetland (FW-1); ⮚ One in the headwater stream of Baileys wetland (FW-2); and ⮚ One sample from the north eastern channel of Baileys wetland (FW-3). These sample site locations are illustrated in Figure 3.4. The benthic samples were taken using a Xxxxxx sampler. Three 500 ml sample bottles were collected per site, preserved in 70% Isopropyl alcohol and shipped to Envirosphere Consultants Limited in Windsor, Nova Scotia, for analysis. The samples were sieved on a 0.5 mm sieve and organisms were removed by sorting at 6.4x magnification on a stereomicroscope. The sorting efficiency for laboratory personnel was checked periodically by resorting samples to ensure levels of 85% or better. Wet weight biomass (g/sample) was estimated by weighing animals to the nearest milligram after blotting to remove surface water. Organisms were identified to the appropriate taxonomic level, using conventional literature for the groups involved. Species abundance, number of species, % Ephemeroptera + Plecoptera + Trichoptera ("EPT") taxa richness and wet weight biomass were estimated. Fish habitat assessments were also conducted at each of the identified sites, i.e., sites FW-1, FW-2, and FW-3, in July 2008. The site characteristics assessed included: ⮚ physical water quality • pH; • dissolved oxygen (DO); • electrical conductivity; and • water temperature (°C); ⮚ stream velocity; ⮚ bank vegetation; ⮚ substrate ...
