Streams and Rivers - Thermal Habitat - Pukaskwa

Streams and Rivers - Thermal Habitat - Pukaskwa Since 2009, up to nine (9) streams (White River, Willow River, Oiseau Creek, White Gravel River, North Swallow River, Swallow River, Cascade River, Tagouche Creek and Imogene Creek) are monitored with stream temperature HOBO loggers to assess thermal suitability for Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). In 2016 and 2017, a second logger was deployed at each of the streams. Loggers are deployed in each stream during the summer, between Lake Superior and the first barrier. Data from the two loggers are analyzed separately for each week and the lower maximum weekly trimean temperature from each stream is used. Data are analyzed to determine if stream temperatures are increasing or decreasing and affecting the ecological integrity of the stream, and thereby affecting brook trout habitat. 2021-07-10 Parks Canada Christine.drake@canada.ca Nature and EnvironmentBrook troutSalvelinus fontinalisPukaskwaHOBO loggerstreamsthermal Streams and Rivers - Thermal Habitat - PukaskwaCSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/EbKRngINmF1Gpu_SG8R6kNABy-RzbRHswPpq8xUZA_s8SQ
