I have a great interest in fish. That's what I took when I was at the University of Alberta; I took most of the fisheries and aquatic sciences courses that I could. I'm concerned about what we're seeing. I heard anecdotally yesterday, talking to a commercial fisherman on Lake Athabasca, that he's seeing some semblance of deformity, disease, or whatever the case might be, in about one in a hundred fish that they're taking out of there.
That's not uncommon. I worked as a fisheries technician for Alberta Fish and Wildlife for a number of years, and it's not actually uncommon, when you look at the Lakeland area or other parts of the province that I've worked in, to find a few fish with deformations or various diseases. Particularly with walleye in the spring, you'll have the various diseases and so on that simply go away as the summer progresses.
I'm wondering if there's anything being done through your study. Is it going to leverage any further research? This is an important commercial fishery on Lake Athabasca. I'm actually quite concerned about what I've heard insofar as some of the problems you've noted here.
