Broad-scale Fisheries Monitoring Bulletin
The Broad-scale Fisheries Monitoring program collects information from representative lakes in fisheries management zones across the province to help biologists manage our fisheries effectively. This bulletin provides a snapshot of recent monitoring activities and netting results. The sampling approach allows us to measure and evaluate the health of Ontario’s lakes and their fish communities, and track changes through time over broad areas of Ontario.

Netting is conducted using large and small mesh nets to understand the characteristics of fish communities in a lake. Large mesh nets contribute information about fish species and small mesh nets describe the fish community.
