EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pembina River sub‐basin, found in the Athabasca River Drainage, supports the
most southern, naturally occurring population of Arctic grayling in Alberta. Prior to
the 1970’s, Arctic grayling were considered common throughout the mid to upper
reaches of the Pembina River mainstem. However, since that time, surveys on the
Pembina River mainstem suggest low numbers of this species. Consequently, the
Alberta Conservation Association, in collaboration with the Alberta Sustainable
Resource Development, conducted a study during the open water seasons of 2002 and
2003 to assess the present status and distribution of Arctic grayling in the Pembina
River.
The proposed study area included the Pembina River mainstem from the Lovett River
confluence downstream to the Paddle River. After preliminary sampling in 2002, the
study area was redefined in 2003 to include the Pembina River mainstem from the
mouth of the Lovett River downstream to the Highway 16 river crossing at Evansburg.
Species distribution, relative abundance, and population structure data were collected
using float electrofishing, angling, and snorkelling. Quantitative habitat data were also
collected including: wetted river widths, rooted river widths, and water temperature
data collected continuously through time from several locations in the study area. All
fish and habitat data were entered into Alberta Sustainable Resource Development’s
provincial fisheries database: the Fisheries Management Information System.
Over the two years, a total (combined float electrofishing, angling, and snorkelling) of
2817 fish were captured or observed in the Pembina River. Arctic grayling were rare,
accounting for less than 2.5% of the recorded total. Forty‐six Arctic grayling were
captured in 52.8 km and 591.7 minutes of electrofishing and 22.7 km and 56.5 hours of
angling. An additional 22 Arctic grayling were observed during four snorkelling
events for a total of 68 grayling. Arctic grayling float electrofishing and angling catch
rates from the Pembina River were considerably lower than reported for other Alberta
rivers. Angling accounted for 42 of the 46 Arctic grayling which were caught near a
road access; 33 of the 42 angling captures were from one pool immediately downstream
of a bridge crossing.
The mean fork length of Arctic grayling captured was 213 mm (range = 115 ‐ 339 mm).
Ninety‐five percent of the captured Arctic grayling were juveniles of either 1 or 2 years
of age.
Sampling was initiated during the spring and summer of 2002. Extremely low water
conditions during both 2002 and 2003 prevented spring, summer, and fall re‐sampling
of the float electrofishing sites. Although grayling were captured upstream from the
confluence with Paddy Creek only, we were unable to describe Arctic grayling seasonal
distribution.
Low numbers of Arctic grayling captured or observed in two years of sampling, low
electrofishing and angling catch rates, and a limited river distribution, suggests that
Arctic grayling stocks in the Pembina River are probably collapsed.
Key words: Alberta, Pembina River, Arctic grayling, distribution, abundance, size composition, float electrofishing, angling, snorkelling, age, size‐at‐age, catch rate.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General introduction Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) have a Holarctic distribution, typically occurring in
northern freshwater drainages of Canada, Alaska, and Eurasia (Scott and Crossman
1973). Disjunct populations of grayling also occur in Montana, U.S.A., and are thought
to have been maintained by introductions through stocking from sources in Canada
(Scott and Crossman 1973). In Alberta, Arctic grayling are native to the Athabasca,
Peace, and Hay River drainages (Nelson and Paetz 1992), all of which flow into the
Arctic Ocean via the Mackenzie River. Although the Pembina River sub‐basin
(Athabasca River drainage) defines the southern fringe of indigenous populations of
Arctic grayling in Alberta, they have been captured on rare occasions from the Belly
River (South Saskatchewan River drainage) in southern Alberta (Nelson and Paetz
1992), likely as the result of dispersal from Montana (Scott and Crossman 1973).
Requiring cold, clear, clean water Arctic grayling are a species considered vulnerable to
habitat alterations and over‐exploitation because of their ease of capture, late maturity,
and slow growth (Scott and Crossman 1973). In the last 40 years, increased human land
use and improved access have contributed to habitat alteration and overexploitation
and the resulting decline of Alberta’s Arctic grayling stocks (Berry 1998). In 1998,
Arctic grayling was classified as a species of special concern, and provincially
designated with a “vulnerable” status in Alberta. Subsequently an Arctic grayling
management and recovery plan was developed in an effort to protect these decreasing
fish stocks (Berry 1998). In 1998 the Alberta government implemented more restrictive
regulations where winter and spring sport fishing seasons for Arctic grayling were
closed and anglers could catch and keep grayling during the summer period only
followed by a catch‐and‐release season during the fall (Berry 1998; Alberta Government
1998). This was done presumably to protect grayling when they were most
concentrated. Also, the allowable daily harvest was reduced from five to two fish with
an increase in the minimum‐size limit from 330 mm total length (TL) to 350 mm (Berry
1998; Alberta Government 1998). Catch‐and‐release fisheries (zero harvest) were also
established at certain streams (Berry 1998; Alberta Government 1998).

1.2 Study rationale
The Pembina River watershed supports the most southern, naturally occurring
population of Arctic grayling in Alberta (Nelson and Paetz 1992). Prior to the 1970’s,
Arctic grayling were considered common throughout the mid to upper reaches of the
Pembina River mainstem with reported angler catch rates of Arctic grayling that
ranged from 1.0 to 3.0 grayling/hour and electrofishing catch rates of 0.5 to 1.0
grayling/minute (Bryski 1999). Since that time, the limited surveys conducted on the
Pembina River mainstem (Renewable Resources Consulting Services 1971; Antoniuk
and Carey 1979; Dickson and McCart 1980; Foothills Model Forest 1998) have reported
low occurrences of Arctic grayling. Current catch‐and‐release angling regulations
protect Arctic grayling stocks from harvest within the tributaries of the Pembina River;
however legal harvest is allowed (2 grayling over 35 cm) on the river’s mainstem
(Alberta Government 2003). It is unknown if the current regulations are effective for the
protection and sustainability of the native grayling population. To forestall a collapse
of the fishery, the Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD) identified the
management of the Pembina River Arctic grayling population as a priority and
developed a joint assessment project with the Alberta Conservation Association (ACA)
to collect data to support or adjust the current Pembina River Arctic grayling
management plan.
1.3 Study objectives
The objective of this study was to describe the status of Arctic grayling stocks within
the Pembina River mainstem. These data would be provided to ASRD fisheries
managers to assist in the development of a comprehensive fisheries management plan
for the Pembina River Watershed. The specific objectives of this study were:
1. To determine the distribution and abundance of Arctic grayling and
related habitat descriptors in the mainstem of the Pembina River
between the confluence with Lovett Creek (Highway 40 road crossing)
and the Highway 16 road crossing. These data can assist ASRD to
develop an Arctic grayling management plan for the Pembina River
mainstem, and possibly the entire watershed.
3
2. To determine seasonal use of the Pembina River mainstem by Arctic
grayling.
3. To collect non‐lethal biological data from Arctic grayling captured
during the survey including fork length, weight, scales for ageing, and
sex and state of maturity if available. In addition, collect these data for
all fish species and provide to ASRD as a condition of the fish research
license.
2.0 STUDY AREA
Originating in the Rocky Mountains, the Pembina River mainstem flows east by
northeast for approximately 727 km until its confluence with the Athabasca River,
northeast of Fort Assiniboine, Alberta. Major tributaries to the Pembina River, from the
headwaters to the mouth, include the Lovett River, Dismal, Rat, and Paddy creeks;
along with the Bigoray, Lobstick and Paddle rivers. The Pembina River and its
tributaries occur in the subalpine, upper boreal, lower boreal mixedwoods, and lower
boreal ecoregions (Strong and Leggat 1992) and consequently, contain a variety of fish
habitats, ranging from swift, clear, cold water, with gravel‐boulder substrates in the
upper reaches to slow, turbid, warm water, with silty substrates in the lower reaches
(Wallace and McCart 1984).
The study area initially included the Pembina River mainstem from the confluence with
the Lovett River downstream to the confluence with the Paddle River near the town of
Barrhead, Alberta. After a preliminary sampling in 2002, the study area was reduced in
2003 to include the Pembina River mainstem from the mouth of the Lovett River (River
distance: km‐679) downstream to the bridge crossing on Highway 16 (km‐366) at
Evansburg, Alberta (Figure 1). This allowed for a more efficient use of resources in
2003.

3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS
3.1 Site selection
Adult Arctic grayling generally migrate from larger rivers to smaller tributaries for
spring spawning and return to the larger rivers during the summer (Scott and
Crossman 1973, Stanislawski and Brown 1997). A recent study has also shown that
habitat diversity, in the form of size and depth of pools, channel complexity, and
substrate composition, are higher where tributary streams enter mainstem rivers (Rice
et al. 2001). Thus we believe that Arctic grayling will likely be located at or near
tributary junctions throughout this study, therefore sample sites were primarily aligned
with the mouths of major tributaries to the Pembina River in attempts to capture Arctic
grayling throughout the open water season. We also chose sample sites that had been
sampled previously (e.g., Renewable Resources Consulting Services 1971). Repeated
sampling of historical sites with those sampled in 2002 and 2003 provided us with the
opportunity to quantify spatial and temporal changes in the occurrence and abundance
of Arctic grayling. To ensure that habitats of differing gradients were sampled, survey
sites were plotted on a gradient profile for the Pembina River (Appendix 1). New sites
were identified based on the gradient profile where reaches appeared to exist. The final
choice of sites was based on site accessibility by all‐terrain‐vehicle (ATV) or truck.
A helicopter was used to survey the river for obstructions (logjams, shallow water,
waterfalls, etc.) and potential access points which were then marked on maps using a
handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. We then used ArcView 3.0,
Geographic Information System (GIS) data (i.e. base layers on: roads, seismic lines,
pipelines, power lines) and 5‐m Indian Remote Sensing satellite imagery to identify any
potential access routes that were undetected during the helicopter flight. Access points
and routes that required ground‐truthing for accessibility and boat‐launching
capabilities were investigated using 4x4 trucks and all terrain vehicles (ATV). Some of
the sample sections were also canoed to assess what type of boat to use, as well as to
determine river conditions (e.g., water depth and wetted width) and navigational
hazards (e.g., sweepers, ledges, or logjams) that were difficult to evaluate from the
survey flight.
6
3.2 Site length
Length of study reaches (i.e., river site length) was chosen according to Hughes et. al.
(2002). In order to sample representative fish assemblages for rivers ranging in width
from 10‐150 m and sampled using a raft‐mounted electrofisher, a minimum sampling
distance equal to 85 times the mean wetted channel width is required. Estimates of site
length recorded within ±100 m in the field using a hand‐held GPS unit were later
refined in the lab to within ±10 m using ArcView 3.1a. Waypoints were used to
calculate the total river length sampled and were marked at 500‐m intervals. The 500‐m
intervals were also used as reference points to release captured fish.
3.3 Fish capture and data collection
Fish were captured primarily by a three‐person team using float electrofishing from
July 4 to September 20, 2002 and June 27 to October 21, 2003. A 14‐foot Avon
Adventurer raft, equipped with a generator‐powered Smith Root 5.0 G.P.P.
electrofisher, was navigated by one crewmember while a second crewmember
controlled the anode and the third dip‐netted fish. Attempts were made to capture all
fish, but field crews selected for Arctic grayling when they were present. Species
composition and electrofishing effort (seconds) and settings (amperage, range, and
percent power) were recorded for each survey. Captured fish were kept in an onboard
live well until they were measured and released at each 500‐m transect. Very few
fish (<1%) demonstrated injuries or immediate mortality from electrofishing. It is
unknown what the post‐release delayed mortality rate was. In addition, fish were
captured using fly‐fishing gear in sections that were not suitable for rafting (e.g. low
water conditions or log jams). Both wet and dry flies were used in combination with a
5‐ or 6‐weight fly rod equipped with a floating line. Anglers recorded fish captured,
number of hours angled (±0.25 hours), and the distance angled. Although no immediate mortalities occurred from angling, it is unknown what the post‐release
delayed mortality rate was.
When water conditions were extremely low making the river impassable with the raft,
snorkelling was used to identify and describe the distribution and number of fish
7
species (Thurow 1994). The river was divided into two units, river left and river right,
and two snorkellers drifted downstream side‐by‐side and counted fish in their half of
the river. When fish were encountered at a high rate (i.e., pools), the area would be
surveyed three times and each drift count was then used to determine a single mean
estimate.
Data were recorded on a “Fish Capture Record Form” (Appendix 2) at each 500‐m
transect. Fish were identified to species using Scott and Crossman (1973) and Nelson
and Paetz (1992) and species codes were assigned using Mackay et. al. (1990). Data
collection included: fork length (FL) and total length (TL) (±1.0 mm), sex and state of
maturity (when discernable), location (i.e. transect number), and any relevant
comments (i.e., any abnormalities present on the fish, clipped fins, or if the fish was a
mortality). In addition a stratified sample (2 fish/5 mm FL class) was collected for
mountain whitefish and Arctic grayling. Additional data collected from these fish
included: total weight (±1.0 gm), and scale samples (after Mackay et al. 1990). To avoid
mortality, scales rather than otoliths were used for aging Arctic grayling.
3.4 Habitat data
Quantitative habitat attributes were recorded on the “Pembina River Project‐ Float Data
Form” (Appendix 3). Rooted and wetted widths were measured at the beginning and
end of each 500‐m. Rooted and wetted channel widths were measured at a right angle
to the direction of the flow using a BushnellTM Yardage Pro 800 laser rangefinder (±1 m).
Arctic grayling demonstrate a maximum temperature preference of approximately 25oC
(Lohr et. al. 1996). As the study area is the southern limit of grayling distribution in
Alberta, we felt that daily maximum temperatures may help define summer
distributions. Continuous (2‐hour interval) water temperature data were collected
along the length of the Pembina River study area using Onset Computer Corporation
HOBOTM Temp data loggers. Data logger locations were determined by truck access
(i.e., road crossings or roads paralleling river) and loggers were deployed from July 7 to
October 14 in 2002 and from June 6 to September 28 in 2003. Data loggers were housed
in a watertight plastic container, secured with a 3.2‐mm steel cable to an anchor (e.g.,
8
tree, large boulder, or bridge pillar) and weighted down with a 1.0‐kg lead weight.
This prevented the data logger from being swept downstream or out of the water
column during high flows. At the end of the study period, all the data loggers were
retrieved except for two (one in 2002 and one in 2003), which may have been swept
away by the river or stolen.
Flow data for the Pembina River in 2002 and 2003 (Appendix 4) were obtained from the
Alberta Environment River Basins web site (Alberta Environment 2002, Alberta
Environment 2003). These data were used primarily to assess river conditions and
assist with determination of which sampling technique should be used, i.e., boat or
float electrofishing, angling, or snorkelling.
3.5 Data management and analysis
Data were entered into Microsoft Access for analyses and reporting. To comply with
the conditions of the ASRD Fisheries Research License (FRL # 02‐2008 and 03‐2002),
data were entered into Fisheries Management Information System (FMIS) load forms
(Ledig et. al. 1998). These load forms were subsequently provided to ASRD for loading
into the provincial database (FMIS).
Data were analyzed using a variety of techniques. Calculating the frequency
distributions of FL resulted in histograms of these data. Although FL is the preferred
field measurement of length, TL is the measure used for management. To convert FL to
TL we compared TL against FL using least‐squares linear regression (JMP 5.1). The
resulting formula allows for predictions, within the range of data used in the
calculations, of TL from FL.
Float electrofishing catch rates were calculated as the number of fish captured per
wetted section area. Section area was calculated using section length times mean
wetted width. Fish catch rates were then converted to number of fish/1000 m2 to allow
for comparisons of catch in sections of differing river widths. Although a catch rate
that incorporates depth and subsequently volume may improve the ability to compare
between sites, this was not done to allow for increased efficiency in the field. We felt
9
that the improvements to the final answer did not justify the cost of collecting these
data.
Temperature data were downloaded from the data loggers and saved as a Microsoft
Excel file. Microsoft Access was used to report the daily maximum temperatures.
Each survey site was geo‐referenced in the field using a handheld GarminTM 12 XL GPS
unit. Co‐ordinate data (waypoints and tracks) were collected as Universal Transverse
Mercator numbers (UTMs), Zone 11, North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83).
Waypoints and tracks were downloaded and saved as an ArcView shapefile using the
Department of Natural Resources Garmin (DNR Garmin) extension (Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources 2003).
4.0 RESULTS
A total of 10 float electrofishing, 11 angling, and 4 snorkelling events were conducted in
the Pembina River study area during both study years. During these events, a total of
2817 fish were captured and observed. In total, 1371 fish, comprised of 14 species were
captured and measured in 591.7 hours of electrofishing and 56.5 hours of angling
(Table 1) (Appendix 5). Another 1446 fish, comprised of 7 species, were counted during
the snorkelling events (Table 1).

4.1 Electrofishing
Ten float electrofishing efforts, five each in 2002 and 2003, were conducted at six
different survey sections within the Pembina River study area (Figure 2). Four of the
sites surveyed in 2002 were re‐surveyed in 2003. In total, 1264 fish, comprised of
14 species, were captured in 52.8 km of float electrofishing (25.3 km in 2002 and 27.5 km
in 2003) (Appendix 6). Although slightly more fish were captured in 2002 than in 2003
(650 fish in 2002 vs. 614 in 2003), the number of fish captured per wetted area remained
relatively constant (0.6 fish/1000 m2) between years.

Arctic grayling were rarely captured (n = 4), contributing less than 1% to the total
electrofishing catch of 1264 fish. In both years combined, four Arctic grayling (two in
each year) were captured in 2,005,892 m2 (200.6 ha) of float electrofishing for catch rates
of 0.002 grayling/1000 m2 in each year. Effort expended in both years combined was
591.8 minutes (313.3 minutes in 2002 and 278.5 minutes in 2003) of electrofishing for a
catch rate of 0.006 and 0.007 grayling/minute in 2002 and 2003, respectively.

4.2 Angling
Eleven angling events, five in 2002 and six in 2003, were conducted at 10 different
survey sites (one section sampled twice) (Figure 3). In total, 107 fish comprised of three
species (Arctic grayling, mountain whitefish, and brook trout), were captured in
56.5 hours (22.7 km) of angling (Appendix 7).

Arctic grayling accounted for 39% of the total angled catch (n = 107). In total, 42 Arctic
grayling were captured (24 in 2002 and 18 in 2003) for catch rates of 1.04 and
0.54 grayling/hour in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Thirty‐three of the 42 graylings (79%)
were captured in a single pool (km‐616) immediately downstream of a bridge crossing
during three separate sampling events (sites #4, #7, and #9 – one site recorded for each
sampling event) (Figure 3). When data collected from this one pool were eliminated,
the catch rates for Arctic grayling were 0.45 grayling/hour in 2002 and zero in 2003.
4.3 Snorkelling
Four snorkelling events, two each in 2002 and 2003, were completed at four different
sections on the mainstem of the Pembina River (Figure 4). In total, snorkel surveys
were completed over a combined distance of 5 km and resulted in the detection of 1446
fish (Table 1). Arctic grayling were observed in two of the four survey sections (km‐616
and 658) and accounted for less than 2% (n = 22) of all fish detected.

4.4. Size distribution of Arctic grayling
Size (FL) of Arctic grayling (electrofishing and angling combined) ranged from 115 to
339 mm with a mean of 213 mm (s = 47.6, n = 44) (Figure 5). The relationship between
FL and TL of Arctic grayling in the Pembina River was: TL = 1.09(FL) + 0.9774
(r2 = 0.9992; n = 11) (Appendix 8). As TL was not collected from each grayling captured,
we applied the regression equation and determined that the FL of a “legal sized” Arctic
grayling (i.e., 350 mm TL) was 321 mm. A previous study on the Little Smoky River
reported the same value i.e., 321 mm FL (Sterling and Hunt 1989). Based on this FL
estimate, only two of the 46 fish were large enough to be legally harvested by anglers.

4.5 Age composition of Arctic grayling
Age of Arctic grayling in the study area ranged from 1 to 3 years (FL = 125‐280 mm)
with a mean age of 1.55 years (s = 45.3, n = 20). Mean size‐at‐age was 172.9 mm (s =
26.9, n = 10) for age 1 fish, 244.6 mm (s = 19.0, n = 9) for age 2 fish, and 280 mm (n = 1)
for age 3 (Figure 6) with ages 1 and 2 fish comprising 95% of the sample. All grayling
that were not aged had FLs within the range of the aged fish (125 ‐ 280 mm) with two
exceptions (Figure 5). This suggests that the majority of the captured Arctic grayling
(n = 42) were likely 1‐2 years of age. Based on the length‐at‐age analysis, the larger
graylings (329 and 339 mm) were likely ≥4 years old.

4.6 Distribution of Arctic grayling
Arctic grayling were captured at six of the 16 sampled river sections (Figure 7). These
six sites were located between the mouth of the Lovett River (km‐679) and 150 m
downstream of the mouth of Dismal Creek (km‐536); 95% of the captures were
upstream of the Wolf Lake Road crossing (km‐579). However, grayling that were large
enough to be harvested legally by anglers (n = 2) were found immediately downstream
of the Wolf Lake Road crossing. Because few Arctic grayling were captured and sites
were not re‐sampled, seasonal use of the Pembina River mainstem could not be
determined.

4.7 Water temperature data
Temperature monitoring locations are presented in Appendix 9 for 2002 and 2003.
Charts were created displaying daily maximum temperatures at each site
(Appendix 10). Daily maximum temperatures in 2003 were not reported for sites #2 or
#8 (Appendix 9) because the data logger at Site #2 was discovered on the riverbank and
the data logger at Site #8 was missing. During both years, daily maximum water
18
temperatures surpassed 25oC (our specified avoidance temperature for Arctic grayling)
at all sites downstream of Paddy Creek (Site #5) (Figure 8; Appendix 9; Appendix 10).
Thus, high water temperatures likely precluded fish from occupying these river
sections.

5.0 DISCUSSION
Research on the status and distribution of Arctic grayling in the Pembina River was
initially slated to be completed during the open water season of 2002. However,
because of low water conditions, limited catches of Arctic grayling, and an
underestimation of the project’s scale, it was necessary to continue fieldwork during the
open water period in 2003. Based on the difficulty and subsequent low catch of
grayling in 2002, and research by Bryski (1999), the study area was reduced and
redefined to concentrate sampling efforts in river sections where Arctic grayling were
more likely to be distributed. Although this may bias the sample by overestimating the
number of grayling, we felt that a departure from a more random approach was
justified to locate the few grayling that seemed to exist in the river. Regardless of any
changes to sampling design, water levels and Arctic grayling captures were both low
during the second year of the study.
19
Float electrofishing catch rates of Arctic grayling in the Pembina River during 2002 and
2003 were relatively low when compared to historical rates. Historically, Arctic
grayling were considered common throughout the mid to upper reaches of the
Pembina River mainstem with reported electrofishing catch rates that ranged from 0.5
to 1.0 grayling/minute (Bryski 1999). Thus, the 2002 and 2003 catch rates of
0.006 grayling/minute and 0.007 grayling/minute, respectively were considered to be
poor.
When angling catch rates in the Pembina River (2002 and 2003) were compared to
historical rates, they appeared to be only moderately depressed. Historically angler
catch rate were reported as 1.0 ‐ 3.0 grayling/hour in the Pembina River prior to the
1970s (Bryski 1999). However, the catch rates of 1.04 grayling/hour in 2002 and
0.54 grayling/hour in 2003 were inflated because three angling events occurred in a
single pool where Arctic grayling were known to stage in the late summer, thus, biasing
the sample and likely overestimating the overall catch rate. This pool was targeted to
compensate for the lack of Arctic grayling biological data collected in the remainder of
the study area. By omitting the data collected from this one pool, catch rates decreased
to 0.45 grayling/hour in 2002 and 0.0 grayling/hour in 2003.
Summer water temperatures may have contributed to the distribution of Arctic
grayling stocks in the Pembina River. The distribution of salmonids within watersheds
is influenced by water temperature (Dunham et. al. 2003; Paul and Post 2001; Rieman
et. al. 1997) and can be used to determine suitable thermal habitats for Arctic grayling
(Lohr et. al. 1996). Lohr et. al. (1996) reported the upper ultimate incipient lethal
temperature – the most extreme temperature an organism can attain by acclimation –
for Arctic grayling as 25oC when acclimated to 20oC. In our study, all captures of Arctic
grayling occurred upstream of the Pembina River‐Paddy Creek confluence (Site #5
Figure 3) where water temperatures were greater than 25oC, suggesting that
behavioural avoidance of extreme temperatures may have influenced the distribution
of Arctic grayling in the Pembina River.
The most effective method used to capture Arctic grayling was angling. All angled
grayling were captured within close proximity to a road access and the majority of the
Arctic grayling were captured in a pool immediately downstream of one road crossing
20
where the fish were easily observed from the bridge deck. Since Arctic grayling are
vulnerable to moderate amounts of angling (Nelson and Paetz 1992) and all the
grayling captured during this study were in close proximity to a road suggests that
Arctic grayling are extremely vulnerable to angling within the Pembina River study
area.
Although it is probable that grayling are present in the unsampled sections of the
Pembina River, it is unlikely that they were present in any significant numbers. If Arctic
grayling were present in the Pembina River in large numbers, sampling efforts in 2002
and 2003 would have detected them. The extremely low water conditions likely caused
fish to congregate in smaller areas, making them more vulnerable to capture. It is also
possible that low water conditions in the river may have caused grayling to seek refuge
in the tributaries where water temperatures may have been cooler and instream cover
may have been more abundant. However, recent stream inventory efforts in Dismal
(McLeod and Gardiner 1999), Rat (Campbell and McLeod 2002), and Paddy Creeks
(Rasmussen and Johnson 2003), main tributaries to the Pembina River, captured very
few or no Arctic grayling.
During the present study, very few Arctic grayling were captured or observed in the
Pembina River. Those that were captured showed a narrow age (ages 1‐3) and size‐
class distribution and low electrofishing and angling catch rates, which were
characterized by a limited spawning stock (grayling > 330 mm TL; see Berry 1998), a
low proportion of older fish in the catch, and generally low numbers of younger fish
(i.e., reduced recruitment); especially when compared to other studies (Ripley 1997;
R.L.&L. Environmental Services Ltd. 1996; Sullivan and Johnson 1994). This suggests
that the Arctic grayling stocks in the Pembina River may be collapsed.
It is unknown what effect human‐use has had on the Arctic grayling population in the
Pembina River. Although forest harvest, oil and gas exploration and extraction, and
agriculture are present in the study area, their level of activity and effects has not been
quantified. Nonetheless, any program implemented to conserve this native population
of Arctic grayling in the Pembina River should consider all forms of human‐use, their
potential effects on the Arctic grayling populations and how these effects could be
mitigated.
