TextPublication details: AB : 1984. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: iv, 41 p. : map ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: This report describes the physical and biological characteristics of Fish Lake, Oak Island Marsh, Oak Lake and Spruce Lake in relation to their values for waterfowl. All or parts of the four marshes seem to be capable of providing reasonably good habitat for breeding as well as staging waterfowl. Soil infertility having a negative impact on basin vegetation and aquatic invertebrates appears to be the most important limiting factor. Excessive water depths, fluctuating water levels,floating organic mats and natural springs, particularly characteristic of parts of Fish Lake, are other characteristics limiting present and/or potential waterfowl values. Some preliminary suggestions are offered for managing these marshes for waterfowl. However, needs for additional information are enumerated and these will be required before more concrete proposals and estimates of cost/benefits can be provided.
