Pamehac Brook: a case study of the restoration of a Newfoundland, Canada, river impacted by flow diversion for pulpwood transportation

Influence of Beaver Activity on Summer Growth and Condition of Age‐2 Atlantic Salmon Parr

“…Unfortunately, because our study represents a natural experiment without replication, it is difficult to make general inferences to other systems or seasons. Nonetheless, the consistency of our results with other studies of parr growth in lacustrine habitats (O'Connell and Ash 1993;Scruton et al 1998) suggests that this effect may be common in other systems. This information could potentially be integrated with population dynamics models of ecosystem engineers (Wright et al 2004) to more fully explain, at the landscape scale, the effect an ecosystem engineer can have on the growth dynamics of stream salmonids.…”

“…The most regularly cited significant negative impact of beaver activity is the impediment created by dams to fish migration (Cunjak and Therrien 1998; Cunjak et al. 1998; Scruton et al. 1998; Mitchell and Cunjak 2007; Parker and Ronning 2007; Guignion 2009; Taylor et al.…”

Impact of Beaver Dams on Abundance and Distribution of Anadromous Salmonids in Two Lowland Streams in Lithuania

“…Beaver dams create patchy environment in salmonid streams thus enhancing overall diversity, as reported by Mitchell and Cunjak [ 2 ] and summarized by Kemp et al [ 4 ]. North American beaver ponds, with their relatively slow waters and high invertebrate productivity, provide important rearing habitat for anadromous fish species [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], including Atlantic salmon [ 40 ]. Numerous studies from North America highlighted beaver dams as important overwintering sites for fish and particularly salmonids [ 41 , 5 , 6 , 42 , 43 ].…”

Creation of ponds and other slow-water environments by beaver dams increased salmon productivity [ 40 , 44 ]. In Europe, studies conducted in the salmonid streams of Scandinavian Peninsula (Northern Europe) showed the overall impact of European beaver activities on anadromous salmonids being indifferent.…”
