TextPublication details: New Brunswick : 1987. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: vi, 50 p. : maps ; 27 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Biological Services Group conducted a Completed Project Evaluation in 1984 and 1985 at five Inland projects in New Brunswick. Wetland and upland habitats remained constant between years suggesting that habitats are stable. Nutrient analysis of project water indicated that nutrient concentrations in the water are low, and may limit algal and therefore macroinvertebrate production. Slow rates of litter decomposition corroborate this. Waterfowl populations on the projects also remained stable across years. Pair densities ranged form 0.22 to 0.43 IBPs/ha,with numbers being slightly, but statistically insignificantly lower in 1985. Brood densities were also slightly lower in 1985, but overall,ranged from 0.12 to 0.56 broods/ha. Construction of cookie cutter channels at Anagance appeared to improve habitat and yielded increased numbers of duck broods, despite the slight declines or stability in numbers elsewhere.
