A study of the fish fauna of the Steepbank River was conducted during the open water period, 1977. Utilization of the Steepbank system by migrant fish from the Athabasca River was assessed by means of a two-way counting fence. Fish movements were monitored from 25 April to 29 May, and from 12...

The fish populations of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the mouth of the Firebag River were sampled from early May to early October 1976. Fish were collected with gill nets, seines, and angling gear in order to identify the species present and their distribution and relative...

The Muskeg River in northeast Alberta drains a large highland area east of the Athabasca River. The availability of thick, oil sands deposits at depths less than 30 m in parts of the watershed makes this area an obvious candidate for future mining development. The results of this detailed,...

A literature review and evaluation of methods used to determine rates of bacterial uptake (heterotrophic assimilation) of organic substrates in fresh water systems was undertaken. The uptake of a \"universal\" substrate - radiolabelled glutamic acid - was determined in order to assess the effects...
