Capelin (Mallotus Villosus) Habitat Monitoring and Restoration Project on the North Shore of St-Lawrence Gulf Since 2018
The database contains ecological data on capelin spawning, obtained on sites studied in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 along the North Shore.
The data include biological and physical parameters, such as morphometric measurements of adult individuals, the abundance and concentration of eggs, the presence of larvae, the particle size of the monitored beaches, the intensity of spawning, the intensity of spawning, a general description of sites, and environmental conditions.
The accessible PDF documents include the analysis reports for the 2018 to 2021 monitoring years, the technical advice for the restorations of various capelin habitat sites that the ZIP Committee considered as part of this project, as well as the reports of work on the two restored sites: Val-Marguerite and Pointe-aux-Anglais.
