<strong>Fraser</strong> River Action Plan 3rd Research Workshop<br />

General Synopsis<br />

• several potential sentinel species occur in the upper <strong>Fraser</strong>;<br />

few were found in sufficient abundance <strong>and</strong> distribution<br />

• by virtue of capture success, peamouth chub represented<br />

the best species for monitoring<br />

• although mature chub were collected from the reference<br />

zone, limited numbers were collected from either near-field<br />

zone<br />

• despite substantial effort, capture success in the near-field<br />

zones appeared hampered by a lack of suitable sampling<br />

habitat<br />

• regardless of the limited field data, there was evidence<br />

which suggested that effluent from mills A <strong>and</strong> B were<br />

capable of eliciting physiological responses in laboratory<br />

<strong>and</strong> resident fish species (immature chub)<br />
