Background

The Mica Tailrace Fish Indexing Study is a multi-year program to estimate the effects of the addition of two new turbines (Mica 5 and 6) on the ichyofauna and thermal regime in the 2.5 km of the Columbia River downstream of Mica Dam. A single year of fish indexing data (2008) was also available from a previous program. As per the Terms of Reference (TOR) the relative abundance, condition and spatial distribution of the fish populations was assessed.

Background

Every fall, Kokanee from Kootenay Lake spawn in the Duncan-Lardeau system. Since 2008 aerial surveys have been conducted in the Lower Duncan River (LDR) to enumerate the number of kokanee spawners. The management questions are:

Background

The Kokanee Age Structure Population Analysis (ALUMON #6) is a multi-year study to address potential impacts of reservoir operations on the reservoirs’ kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) population (Andrusak 2014). As part of the Alouette Reservoir Water Use Plan (WUP), the study’s focus is to address whether the current kokanee population is recruitment limited and if any identified recruitment limitation is related to BC Hydro operations.

Background

The Mica Tailrace Fish Indexing Study is a four year program to estimate the effects of the addition of two new turbines (Mica 5 and 6) on the ichyofauna and thermal regime in the 2.5 km of the Columbia River downstream of Mica Dam. A single year of fish indexing data (2008) was also available from a previous program.
