Friday is presently studying the timing of spawning
migrations, spawning success and larval drift during
controlled flow conditions over Kakabeka Falls on
the Kaministiquia River (in partnership with Ontario
Power Generation). We are also examining the seasonal
distribution and movement patterns of adult lake
sturgeon, utilizing Black Sturgeon River, with access
to Black Bay Lake Superior.

McLeod and the Fort Frances District are currently
studying lake sturgeon in the Namakan River, Ontario
as part of an Environmental Assessment process for
three proposed hydro developments (Ojibway Power
and Energy Group). They are examining the seasonal
distribution and movement patterns of adult lake
sturgeon in relation to water flow and temperature,
as well as identification of spawning habitats and
over-winter locations, population assessment and
genetics. A similar acoustic telemetry study and
population assessment is underway in the Namakan
Reservoir with Voyageurs National Park and South
Dakota State University. Work on juvenile lake sturgeon
is being initiated in both systems in 2010 in partnership
with Lakehead University and Voyageurs National
Park. Similar studies on adult sturgeon were also
completed on Rainy Lake (2003-05) and the Seine
River (1993-95).
