Fish Habitat Studies

GLLFAS works with DFO Fish Habitat Management groups across the country, and with other researchers in other government agencies and universities, to:

• understand the relationships between habitat characteristics and the natural productivity of fishes,
• develop habitat supply-driven population models for key fish species,
• evaluate and standardize field methods for assessing fish and their habitat,
• develop practical tools and procedures for quantifying the effects of habitat loss and alteration, and
• devise methods for integrating fish habitat concerns into resource management plans for whole ecosystems.
