Mistassini River Estuary – Characterization of Significant Shoreline Habitats on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence Maritime Estuary

Sea Surface Salinity Sea Surface Temperature Fish abundance and distribution

A project to characterize important littoral habitats on the north shore of the St. Lawrence maritime estuary has been funded for a 4-year period (2023-2027). The aim of the project is to generate baseline ecological data to provide an overall picture of the state of littoral habitats along the north shore of the maritime estuary.

The dataset covers the estuary of the Mistassini River (municipality of Franquelin). To improve knowledge of this ecosystem, an ichthyological inventory was carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized.

It is possible to consult the four other datasets of important littoral habitats that were characterized as part of the project to characterize important littoral habitats:

This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
