Record 3 2010-09-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dams and Causeways
  • Hydroelectric Power Stations
DEF

The reservoir behind a run-of-river dam.

CONT

Because the mill takes water for its operations from the dam’s head pond, ensuring the mill’s water intake will function without the dam is a critical precondition to breaching the dam.

CONT

This project is designed to provide safe and effective fish passage for anadromous fish above a 9 foot high, 90 foot long dam. It will provide anadromous fish with access to upstream riverine and ponded habitat. River herring spawning habitat will be increased by an addition [of] 74, 225 m². Alewife in particular will benefit from excellent nursery habitat in the dam's head pond.

OBS

Weirs and barrages are different types of ’run-of-river’ dams, this means that while they raise the water level upstream they create only a small reservoir (’head pond’) and cannot effectively regulate downstream flows.

Key term(s)
  • head pond

French

Domaine(s)
  • Barrages et chaussées
  • Centrales hydro-électriques
DEF

Volume (ou bassin) d'eau retenu en amont d'un barrage pour créer une énergie électrique potentielle ou pour une autre raison.

CONT

Proche du Barrage de St-Narcisse. En se promenant sur la rivière Batiscan on peut y voir le réservoir du barrage. Ce barrage sert à faire de l'électricité. On peut y pêcher beaucoup de poissons.

Record 5 2007-05-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
CONT

Quantifying habitat quality is especially important for larval fish that inhabit estuaries because estuaries are a common nursery area for many species and because estuaries are subject to a multitude of human related stressors such as eutrophication, contaminant loading, and loss of physical habitat.

Record 6 1995-12-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Animal Biology
CONT

The most successful fishes of the southeast Atlantic U. S. A. migrate to use estuaries as juvenile fish nursery areas. These and other migrations serve to maximize surplus power, which in turn is related to fitness(=lifetime reproductive output). Analysis of the costs and benefits of estuarine nursery areas suggest that surplus power is gained by juvenile fish that tolerate variable estuarine abiotic conditions rather than avoid extreme conditions as adults may do.(Dialog Data Base)

Record 7 1992-08-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
CONT

By the use of nursery tanks or small ponds, greater control of water quality and predation by insects and their larvae, as well as predatory fishes, etc., can be achieved... One of the essential requirements in nursery farms is the eradication of the many pests and predators that infest fish ponds.

CONT

They conducted research on pond rearing of juvenile Atlantic salmon.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aquaculture
CONT

Pour la plupart des espèces de poissons en élevage extensif, la reproduction se fait naturellement en étang.

OBS

La pisciculture en étang procède d'une démarche [...] différente de celle de la salmoniculture qui s'apparente plutôt à une production de type hors-sol. Elle consiste à assurer une production zootechnique, principalement à partir des ressources renouvelables de l'écosystème aquatique que constitue l'étang.
