General Fish-out Protocol for Lakes and Impoundments in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut (Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2011)
This technical report provides a standardized general fish-out protocol for lakes and impoundments in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, developed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to ensure consistent and scientifically rigorous removal of fish populations when development activities require lake destruction or dewatering. The protocol includes detailed methodologies for fish community assessment, biological data collection, limnological sampling, habitat inventory, and data management to maximize utility of harvested fish for local communities while gathering ecological data.
