The major emphasis of these studies was to delineate actual and potential spawning areas for lake whitefish in the Athabasca and Clearwater rivers. Lake whitefish were found to spawn during mid-October in the mainstem of the Athabasca River from Fort McMurray upstream to Cascade Rapids, a distance of approximately 32 km. The major concentrations of spawning lake whitefish were immediately below Mountain Rapids (24 km upstream of Fort McMurray). There was no evidence of lake whitefish spawning in the Clearwater River. Spawning generally occurred in fast water over broken rock, rubble, and coarse gravel substrates. While recaptures were insufficient to calculate a population estimate by scientific means, the spawning population is large, certainly numbering tens of thousands of fish. Post-spawning tag returns indicate that the lake whitefish spawners moved downstream immediately after spawning, returning to the Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Athabasca River upstream of Fort McMurray provides critical spawning habitat for lake whitefish. Other important fish species, including goldeye, longnose sucker, walleye, and northern pike, also occur in the project study area. </style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Project AF 4.8.1</style></notes><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biology, Oil &amp; Other Non-renewable Fuels </style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athabasca River, Clearwater River, Fort McMurray, Cascade Rapids</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/871699130</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Science</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
