Download or read book Freshwater Fishes of Manitoba written by Kenneth Stewart and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2004-05-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manitoba’s ninety-three species of fish give the province the third most diverse fish population in Canada. The province’s variety of geological features, with its major lakes, rivers, tributaries, and watersheds, is due in large part to its history as the basin for Glacial Lake Agassiz. This, combined with its access to the waters of Hudson Bay and large American river systems, has provided habitat for a wide diversity of freshwater fish. Species from lampreys to goldeye, catfish to perch, bigmouth bass to slimy sculpin swim in waters from arctic rivers in the north to Red River tributaries and down to the Mississippi in the south. Freshwater Fishes of Manitoba is a comprehensive, user-friendly guide. Each species is accurately depicted in detailed colour photographs and accompanying map, with descriptions of physical characteristics, spawning and feeding habits, distribution, habitat, ecological role, and economic importance. The guide also includes an extensive glossary, keys to identifying the families, species, and subspecies, and information on documentation and preservation of specimens. Freshwater Fishes of Manitoba is not only the definitive guide to these fishes of Manitoba, it is also accessible and reliable for a range of users from general fishers to professional fish biologists.

Download or read book An Evaluation of the Fish Resources of the Mackenzie River Valley Based on 1974 Data written by C. S. Jessop and published by Department of the Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service, Fisheries Operation Directorate (Central Region), Resource Management Branch, Resource Impact Division. This book was released on 1975 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1974, the Department of the Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service began the final year of a four year investigation into possible effects of pipeline construction on fish resources of the Mackenzie River valley. The present program includes new and revised findings from the 1974 program. During 1974, emphasis was placed on refining and adding to life history data, particularly migration routes and timing, movements of fry and juveniles and location of overwintering areas. The fish tagging program was intensified on several systems in each study area. A fish fence was constructed in the Trail River to monitor fish movements and to obtain spawning population estimates. Fry traps were used to determine movements of fry and juveniles. A winter survey was conducted to locate significant overwintering areas. Pertinent information on species distribution and migration routes obtained by Fisheries and Marine Service crews based on Richards Island and the Great Bear River also has been incorporated.
Download or read book Formidable Heritage written by Jim Mochoruk and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2004-06-03 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadians have an ambivalent feeling towards the North. Although climate and geography make our northern condition apparent, Canadians often forget about the north and its problems. Nevertheless, for the generation of historians that included Lower, Creighton, and Morton, the northern rivers, lakes, forests, and plains were often seen as primary characters in the drama of nation building. W.L. Morton even went so far as to write that the ìmain task of Canadian life has been to make something of that formidable heritageî of the northern Canadian shield. For many politicians and developers, "to make something" of the North came to mean thinking of the North as an empty hinterland waiting to be exploited, and today, hydroelectric projects, mining, milling, pulp and paper, and other industries have changed much of the North beyond recognition. One of the first parts of the North to be aggressively industrialized was northern Manitoba. When all of Manitoba was given in 1670 to a group of entrepreneurs, a precedent was set that was replicated throughout the provinceís history. After the province entered confederation in 1870, provincial politicians and business leaders began to look to the northern resources as a new key to the provinceís economic development. Particularly after 1912, they saw resource development in the North as a strategy to expand the provincial economy from its agricultural base. Jim Mochoruk shows how government and business worked together to transform what had been the exclusive fur-trading preserve of the Hudsonís Bay Company into an industrial hinterland. He follows the many twisting paths established by developers and politicians as they chased their goal of economic growth, and recounts the ultimate costs of development in economic, ecological, and political terms.

Book excerpt: Looks at the role of Native peoples, both Indian and Metis, in the economy of northern Manitoba from 1870 to the Depression, arguing that they played an important part in the transitional era between the mercantile fur trade and the emerging industrial economy of the mid- 20th century. Reconstructs the evolution of the economy of the fur trade era, showing that natives responded to the market economy in enterprising ways but were obstructed by government policy.

Download or read book Natural Resource Conflicts 2 volumes written by M. Troy Burnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural resource and environmental conflicts have long been issues confronting human societies. This case-based examination of a wide range of natural resource disputes exposes readers to many contemporary examples that offer reasons for both hope and concern. The Rwandan genocide, the Sudanese civil war, and perpetual instability in the Middle East and Africa: each of these crises have arguably been instigated and maintained by natural resource disputes. China has undertaken a Herculean task to plant hundreds of millions of trees along its margins in an effort to save Beijing from crippling dust storms and halt the expansion of the Gobi desert. Will it work, and is it worth it? These and many other cases of conflict stemming from natural resource or environmental concerns are explained and debated in this up-to-date examination of contemporary and ongoing topics. The book examines conflicts over precious resources and minerals, such as diamonds, oil, water, and fisheries, as well as the pursuit of lesser-known minerals like Coltan and other "rare earth elements"—important resources in our technological age—in remote locations such as Greenland and the Congo. Each topic contains an overview and two position essays from different authors, thereby providing the reader with highly informative and balanced perspectives. Reference entries accompany each topic as well, helping students to better understand each issue. As the world hurtles into the 21st century, these natural resource issues are becoming increasingly important, with all global citizens having a significant stake in how these conflicts arise and play out.
Download or read book Wildlife Land and People written by Donald G. Wetherell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encounters with wild animals are among the most significant relationships between humans and the natural world. Presenting a history of human interactions with wildlife in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan between 1870 and 1960, Wildlife, Land, and People examines the confrontations that led to diverse consequences – from the near annihilation of some species to the extraordinary preservation of others – and skilfully finds the roots of these relationships in people’s needs for food, sport, security, economic development, personal fulfillment, and identity. Donald Wetherell shows how utilitarian practices, in which humans viewed animals either as friendly sources of profit or as threats to their economic and personal security, dominated until the 1960s. Alongside these views, however, other attitudes asserted that wild animals were part of the beauty, mystery, and order of the natural world. Wetherell outlines the ways in which this attitude gained strength after World War II, distinguished by a growing conviction that every species has ecological value. Through a century in which the natural landscape of the prairie region was radically transformed by human activity, conflicts developed over fur and game management, over Aboriginal use of the land, and over the preservation of endangered species like bison and elk. Yet the period also saw the creation of national parks, zoos, and natural history societies. Drawing on a wide array of historical sources and photographs as well as current approaches to environmental history, Wildlife, Land, and People enriches our understanding of the many-layered relationships between humans and nature.
