Abstract
Data originated from provincial records, summarized as a report: Royer, L.M. (1966). Report on the limnology and fisheries resources of the Saskatchewan River Delta, 1964-1966. Saskatchewan Fisheries Laboratory, Department of Natural Resources, Saskatoon. Data were collected by the province through a combination of field work and commercial fishery surveys. Data include (1) annual variation in total dissolved solids, (2) winter water chemistry, (3) gillnet catches from Beaver Lake, (4) gillnet catches from Wapisew Lake, (5) Goldeye commercial fishery landings 1958-1966, (6) physical and chemical observations of 32 lakes, (7) measurements and coordinates of 32 lakes, (8) Sturgeon dressed weight measurements, (9) Sturgeon commercial fishery landings 1932-1966, and (10) Walley-Sauger commercial fishery landings 1941-1966. Each dataset is a separate Excel file.
Purpose
Data are used for IMPC Theme B: Water Management Modelling, Coupling Human-driven and Natural Systems. The data contribute to IMPC subtheme B2: Developing a performance model for aquatic ecosystems based on hydro-ecologic metrics and environmental demands.
Plain Language Summary
Data originated from provincial records from the 1960s. Data were collected by the province through a combination of field work and commercial fishery surveys. Data include (1) annual variation in total dissolved solids, (2) winter water chemistry, (3) gillnet catches from Beaver Lake, (4) gillnet catches from Wapisew Lake, (5) Goldeye commercial fishery landings 1958-1966, (6) physical and chemical observations of 32 lakes, (7) measurements and coordinates of 32 lakes, (8) Sturgeon dressed weight measurements, (9) Sturgeon commercial fishery landings 1932-1966, and (10) Walley-Sauger commercial fishery landings 1941-1966.
