Description

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) requires services to operate the two (2) traps incorporated into Old Mill dam on the Humber River in Toronto, ON, and the trap incorporated into the low-head sea lamprey barrier on Duffins Creek in Ajax, ON, conducting mark and release studies with the sea lamprey captured, and collect and supply raw data to be used to generate a population estimate in this stream. This population estimate will be used along with that of other streams to estimate the population in all of Lake Ontario.

For each year, the first day of trap servicing will be dependent on weather, and will be determined by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), usually in early April. Once the start date has been determined, the trap will be serviced five (5) days per week for a minimum of 10 consecutive weeks. Work may be required beyond this 10 week period dependent on weather and trap catches, up to a maximum of four (4) additional weeks. These week-long extensions will be determined by DFO at the end of the first 10 weeks and at the end of each subsequent week-long extension.
