Module 12C: Angling and Fishing - Aquatic Environment (Optional)
Outcome
Examine the
relationship between
fish populations and
the aquatic
environment.
Indicators
| (a) | Examine the habitats that make the Saskatchewan ecozones, and corresponding treaty territories, conducive to fish species (e.g., rocky, deep lakes of the Boreal Shield are good for walleye). |
| (b) | Explore the water characteristics (e.g., still or moving, temperature, dissolved oxygen, depth, alkalinity and acidity) that influence the distribution and abundance of fish. |
| (c) | Conduct a pond-dipping study to analyze what the invertebrate population indicates about the fish species. |
| (d) | Research the effects (e.g., reducing biodiversity and habitat quality) of aquatic invasive species (e.g., zebra and quagga mussels) in Saskatchewan. |
| (e) | Explain strategies (e.g., clean, drain and dry boats between bodies of water) to mitigate the spread of invasive aquatic species. |
| (f) | Identify non-native species (e.g., trout) that have been introduced for sport fishing in Saskatchewan. |
| (g) | Explain the role of the Provincial Fisheries Management Plan in managing fish populations in Saskatchewan. |
| (h) |
Investigate strategies for managing Saskatchewan’s fish populations, including:
