Fish health metrics for St. Clair River AOC Shorthead redhorse and Golden redhorse

Fish health metrics for St. Clair River AOC Shorthead redhorse and Golden redhorse This dataset contains the fish health metrics (length, weight, gonad size, etc.) for Shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum) and Golden redhorse (Moxostoma erythrurum) collected from two site locations (Stag Island, and Lake Huron) within the St. Clair River Area of Concern for 2003. Supplemental Information Funding for this study was provided in part by the Government of Canada’s Great Lakes Action Plan (GLAP) and in support to St. Clair River Area of Concern. In 1987 under the revised Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, 43 areas of concern (AOC), 12 of which are located in Canada, were identified as having severely impaired beneficial uses and water quality. As funded by the Great Lakes Action Plan, a Remedial Action Plan was formed for each area of concern bringing together experts from government, industry, municipalities and environmental non-government organizations to address these impacts. Today over 900 restoration projects have been successfully completed by Environment and Climate Change Canada and partners including Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades, fish and wildlife habitat restoration, and water quality improvements For more information on the St. Clair River Area of Concern visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/great-lakes-protection/areas-concern/st-clair-river.html Supporting Projects: Great Lakes Action Plan (GLAP) Great Lakes Sustainability Fund St.Clair River Remedial Action Plan 2022-08-04 Environment and Climate Change Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentAll applicable data contentGreat Lakes Action Plan (GLAP)Area of ConcernFish health metricsShorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum)Golden redhorse (Moxostoma erythrurum)St.Clair RiverStag IslandLake Huron St.ClairRiver-RiviereSt.Clair_FishHealthMetrics-MesuresSanteDuPoisson_ShortheadredhorseGoldenredhorse-ChevalierrougeChevalierdore_en_fr.csvCSV https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/areainterest/st-clair-river-area-of-concern/fish-health-metrics-for-st-clair-river-aoc-shorthead-redhorse-and-golden-redhorse/St.ClairRiver-RiviereSt.Clair_FishHealthMetrics-MesuresSanteDuPoisson_ShortheadredhorseGoldenredhorse-ChevalierrougeChevalierdore_en_fr.csv View ECCC Data Mart (English)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/areainterest/st-clair-river-area-of-concern/fish-health-metrics-for-st-clair-river-aoc-shorthead-redhorse-and-golden-redhorse/?lang=en View ECCC Data Mart (French)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/areainterest/st-clair-river-area-of-concern/fish-health-metrics-for-st-clair-river-aoc-shorthead-redhorse-and-golden-redhorse/?lang=fr
