Monitoring Lake Trout in Kingsmere Lake

Aug 13, 2021 | 9:54 AM

Parks Canada takes its mandate to protect the health of the environment seriously. An agency-wide monitoring and reporting program, consisting of independent scientific measures that help assess the health of the ecosystem, is used to guide parks in making decisions or taking actions that support conservation.

According to present information, population assessment results over the last three years indicate a 45% decline in the lake trout population in Kingsmere Lake. More information is needed to determine the condition of the lake trout population.

With the public’s participation, together we will know more about the state of the fisheries and the health of the species. For more information on this engagement project, learn more about the topic, or to arrange an interview, please contact robyn.hufnagel@canada.ca .
