Trapped on the Land: Fish Entrainment Explained by The Trout Trust

With Alberta Wilderness Association

“As large-scale irrigation projects began in the 1900s in Alberta, it came with over 100 kilometres of canals and ditches. It soon became apparent that as well as taking water from the rivers, these canals were taking fish. Fish entered the canals simply because there was nothing to prevent them from doing so. And just as it was for the water, the trip was a one-way journey for those fish; they died when the canals dried up in the fall. Known as fish entrainment, this is still an issue in the province.

Join us for an AWA Tuesday Talk with The Trout Trust, who will explain the issue of fish entrainment in Alberta, and how it impacts native trout populations.”
