Project

Ecological effects of river flow and temperature regimes on fish populations in Canada
This doctoral thesis aims to generate empirical estimates of the spatial variation of biotic metrics over a range of flow and thermal regimes from regulated and natural rivers, with the intention of providing a predictive framework of the effects of flow and temperature regime variability or degree of alteration on fish communities.

Keywords

flow regime, thermal regime, biodiversity, fish community structure, regulated rivers, fish growth, productive capacity of fish habitats
