Äshèyi Mǟn Fish Survey
In collaboration with CAFN and EDI, Yukon Energy recently completed a fish population survey on Äshèyi Mǟn (Aishihik Lake). This survey collects important information on the status of fish species in the lake and is a commitment under the Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan for the operation of the Aishihik Hydro Facility. Lake whitefish are a focus species for this monitoring, as they are an indicator of ecosystem health and are an important subsistence fish species for CAFN.
Fish captured during the survey were cleaned, kept on ice/frozen and are currently being distributed within the CAFN community and to other associated beneficiaries. Samples were collected from all captured fish, along with information about their condition, including length, weight, and overall health.
Structures used to determine the age of each fish were also collected. The fish ages were then compared with environmental conditions during the year they were born and in later years, including water levels, water temperature, ice-off dates, and wind patterns.
This work is part of a larger effort to better understand and care for Äshèyi and support positive outcomes for the environment. ... See MoreSee Less
