Fish Species

In 2008 and 2009 the presence of reproducing Prussian carp were found in the Red Deer River drainage basin which flows into the Sastachewan River,. Illegal introductions of non native species can have serious wide ranging negative impacts on the ecosystem. While the exact species is not yet determined the genus is Carassius. The Blue Ribbon Bow River Trout fishery may be at risk as a result of this introduction. Illegal introductions of Carassius can be very harmful.
