TextPublication details: MB : 1982. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: iv, 58 (18) p. : maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Within the Tom Lamb Wildlife Management Area selected wetlands,generally those over 40 ha in size, were evaluated for waterfowl production potential. Measures of productivity used included basin morphometry, soils, water quality and shoreline description. Almost 70%of the 39 wetlands in the controlled area and 68% of 40 in the uncontrolled area were considered to have fair to good capability for waterfowl production. Based on these findings it is recommended that those wetlands with potential, and that can be developed within cost guidelines as determined by a forthcoming engineering feasibility report, should be evaluated more intensively to allow the development of management recommendations to alleviate limiting factors. Once the biological evaluation is complete and waterfowl production potential has been determined an indepth engineering study, together with cost assessments, of the required works should take place.
