Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected at two-week intervals between 1982 May 13 and August 18 at 16 sites along an 85 km stretch of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the Ells River. Samples were collected from gravel bars with a 0.l m2 cylinder sampler. All netting had a mesh...

Physical description of selected tributary mouths and sheltered backwaters of the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers
Download1980
A survey of the physical characteristics of the aquatic habitats at 25 locations on the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers was conducted during August 1978. The parameters determined at each site were current velocity and direction, depth, Secchi disc visibility, substrate composition, and...
