This Micro-Course describes strategies and approaches to selecting specific methods, in a defensible manner and combining information from a range of scales, to complete efficient and effective fish habitat assessments. Participants are assumed to have working knowledge of the standard stream fish habitat assessment methods.

In this MicroCourse, students will develop the ability to make these decisions based on their knowledge of the plant population of interest, the objectives of the study or site investigation, the seasonality of the plant populations, and other factors that help determine the best methods to survey or assess plants. Note: This event is split...

The two-day, fully online Ichthyology course provides a comprehensive overview of fish phylogeny, ecology, and physiology. Participants will develop the foundation for studying and managing fisheries and evaluating biological requirements for fish habitat restoration projects. Taught by one of Canada’s foremost Ecologists and researchers, this ‘hands on’ training program includes group exercises, presentation, lecture, and...

In this immersive course, you’ll dive deep into understanding fish habitat and its critical role across seasons and life stages, with a focus on stream-dwelling salmonids. This course will break down habitat units like pools, riffles, runs, and glides, and show you how these features support thriving fish populations. Explore the essential roles of riparian...
