Age 0+ fish occurrence in modified habitat in south-western Ontario / by J. K. Leslie and C. A. Timmins.Fs97-6/2219E

Fish utilization of Great Lakes littoral habitat is in constant flux owing to human intervention, expressed as ceaseless pollution, fragmentation, shrinkage, and permanent loss of natural systems (Herdendorf 1992). Remnant habitat often hosts a mainly transient fish community high in number of species (Stephenson 1990) and low in richness and diversity. Few studies have attempted to assess the role of such habitats in respect of reproduction and early development of species or their relationship with regional fisheries. Because field studies are required to advance our knowledge of as many fish habitats as are utilized, we investigated seasonality, relative density, and growth of age 0+ fishes in three habitats modified by human activity in south-west Ontario.--Introduction
