Sentinel Species Program Data

Sentinel species monitoring evaluates the health of a representative fish species in the Athabasca River, and in smaller tributaries of the Athabasca River that have oil sands development. The approach compares characteristics such as growth, survival, body size, and reproduction of a sentinel species caught downstream of oil sands development to fish that reside upstream of the development, or to data collected prior to development.
