Research interests

Professor Enders is primarily interested in fish ecology, fish and habitat conservation and restoration, and environmental impact assessments of anthropogenic flow and climate changes on fish populations. The focus is on the following issues:

  • The winter biology of freshwater fishes in respect to habitat use and availability, energetic costs of overwintering, survival, and activity patterns
  • Fish passage through fishways and culverts
  • The effects of turbulence on fish behaviour and energetics

The Riverine Fish Ecology Lab of the INRS – Centre Eau Terre Environnement has broad research interests in conservation biology, ecophysiology, fish behaviour and bioenergetics, and aquatic ecology to provide scientific advice for Species at Risk and Fish Habitat Protection. Freshwater fishes are used as research models for experiments conducted in both the laboratory and the field.

Assessing the cumulative impacts of changes in the environmental conditions and their consequences to Atlantic Salmon ecology, population trends, and survival

The overarching objective of this partnership between three universities (INRS, UQAR, UPEI), Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Foundation for Conservation of Atlantic Salmon (FCAS), the Gespe’gewa’gi Institute of Natural Understanding (GINU), and the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) is to improve management tools for the conservation and preservation of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar). Natural and anthropogenic threats in Atlantic Salmon freshwater habitats lead to challenges for the species survival resulting in population declines. Atlantic Salmon rivers are subject to a variety of cumulative habitat impacts due to development and environmental changes in their freshwater watersheds, ranging from sediment inputs to loss of riparian habitat, eutrophication leading to hypoxia, water browning as well as high temperatures and reduced flow rates due to climate change. Given the complexity of these cumulative impacts, the long-term outcomes of various management interventions are not always clear, as different sites are subject to different limiting factors, and prioritizing threats to address is difficult and often non-intuitive. To provide management tools for the conservation and preservation of the species, we are proposing the following research objectives: 1. Developing models to predict the present and future thermal and flow regimes in Atlantic Salmon rivers, 2. Studying the cumulative impacts of changing thermal and flow habitat conditions across Atlantic Salmon freshwater life stages by looking at historical and projected water temperature and flow series and developing a framework for modelling the cumulative effects to prioritize Atlantic Salmon restoration actions, and 3. Investigating the effects of changes in the optical habitat due to climate change on juvenile Atlantic Salmon.

Salmonid behaviour and ecophysiology in a changing climate

Salmonids, being a vital resource for both recreational and subsistence fisheries, are facing growing threats to their populations due to climate change impacting northern rivers and lakes. Elevated water temperatures caused by climate change may trigger ecological and environmental changes to fish habitat, including alterations to the optical (i.e., water browning) and oxy-thermal habitat that can affect the behavior, physiology, and life-history traits of salmonids. Understanding how salmonids respond to these environmental conditions is crucial to inform future conservation efforts and ensure an effective management of the fisheries resource. Therefore, the overarching goal of my research program is to study the fundamental mechanisms underlying the responses of salmonids to cumulative stressors within the broader contexts of population ecology, conservation biology, and habitat restoration. Through a series of laboratory experiments, my students and I will (1) investigate the effects of changes in the optical habitat on the feeding efficiency and growth rate of juvenile Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), and Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus); (2) analyse the effect of thermal conditions during embryogenesis on anti-predatory responses in juvenile Atlantic Salmon; (3) study how oxy-thermal stressors are affecting the behavioral and physiological traits in juvenile Arctic Charr; and (4) develop relevant stressor-response functions and predictive, multi-species cumulative effects models to prioritize recovery efforts for salmonid species. Ultimately, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how environmental stressors interact and affect salmonids at both individual and population levels. Subsequently, in addition to providing scientific excellence with crucial contributions to the advancement of scientific knowledge, this research has direct policy implications for environmental, conservation, and fisheries regulation. This knowledge can further be applied to inform effective adaptive management strategies. Finally, the proposed program will contribute to the training of nine highly qualified personnel from undergraduate to PhD level who will develop important skills ranging from pure and applied ecology, experimental design, data and statistical analyses of ecophysiological experiments, implementation of conservation tools to collaborative teamwork and knowledge exchange.

Development of a modelling framework to quantify cumulative effects of land use and climate change on juvenile Atlantic Salmon

In this project, five salmon rivers were selected, presenting a gradient of anthropogenic impacts: Ste-Marguerite (QC, relatively pristine), Restigouche (QC-NB, moderate deforestation), Ouelle (QC, agriculture and deforestation), Mill (PEI, moderate agriculture), and Dunk (PEI, intensive agriculture). The CEQUEAU model was calibrated for flow and temperature on the five rivers. As a distributed model, CEQUEAU can provide simulated flow and temperature for the entire watershed. The objectives of this project are to (1) compare the impact of current land use in each river on key habitat variables, (2) combine land use and climate change scenarios in CEQUEAU to study future cumulative impacts on Atlantic Salmon distribution, and (3) analyze the bioenergetic consequences of different land use and climate change scenarios on the growth and survival of juvenile Atlantic Salmon.

Development of a cumulative effects model for the conservation of salmonids

Salmonid populations are threatened by the cumulative effects of climate change, habitat fragmentation and degradation, etc. To ensure the conservation and sustainable management of salmonid populations in Quebec, we propose the development of a cumulative effects model for the prioritization of recovery actions (CEMPRA).

Is Fallfish (Semotilus corporalis) competing with Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) for food resources and habitat in the Jacques-Cartier Riverevelopment of a cumulative effects model for the conservation of salmonids?

Due to climate change and associated increases in water temperatures, species distribution ranges are shifting. For example, Fallfish (Semotilus corporalis Mitchill 1817), Eastern North America’s largest minnow species, are expanding northwards and are now found in new watersheds such as the Jacques‑Cartier River located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, Québec, Canada. The impacts of this species on the native fish community are currently poorly understood. However, Fallfish might compete with native Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill 1814) for habitat and food resources. Subsequently, we will study the species interactions between Fallfish and Brook Trout in the Jacques‑Cartier River. The research activities will include assessments of fish habitat, food consumption, metabolic rate, and fish surveys. The collected data will contribute to an adaptive fisheries management plan for the Jacques‑Cartier River.

Ecological portrait of the Kipawa River in light of potential hydroelectric development

Small-scale hydropower can increase our capacity to produce renewable energy cost-effectively. Over the past four decades, to reduce carbon emissions, Canada has seen an increase in small-scale hydropower developments located in small rivers or streams. While small-scale hydropower is a promising option for producing sustainable and inexpensive energy in remote areas, environmental impacts on wildlife and aquatic ecosystems must be considered. In the proposed project, we will model the potential impacts of a small-scale hydropower project on fish habitat in the Kipawa River located in western Quebec, Canada. Research activities will include monitoring water levels and environmental conditions, assessing fish habitat, and applying hydrological and thermal models to simulate flow and temperature variations and fish habitat availability before impacts and under various hydroelectric scenarios. The research will be conducted in partnership with the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (Sépaq). The data collected will inform management decisions on small-scale hydroelectric development on the Kipawa River in particular and provide a framework for impact assessments of small-scale hydroelectric developments in general.

Importance of the height of riparian vegetation for thermal regimes of Atlantic Salmon rivers to strategically inform restoration decisions

The project proposes to model the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of salmon rivers as a function of basin topography, riparian vegetation characteristics, local stream reach orientation, and solar elevation. Using a similar approach, our group has successfully reproduced the shaded areas of rivers at a given moment (date, time of day) on high-resolution airborne imagery. The project will: 1) integrate the amount of solar radiation received at any point of the river over different time periods (day, week, summer season), 2) identify reaches receiving high amounts of solar radiation, 3) test the hypothesis that these reaches correspond to areas of water warming identified by our group on long temperature profiles obtained from thermal imagery, 4) identity areas where selective reforestation of river banks would have a positive effect on stream temperature by reducing solar radiation, and 5) model the expected effect of selective reforestation on stream temperature.

Interdisciplinary approach to differentiate the resident and anadromous ecotypes of Brook Trout to promote the conservation and management of an emblematic species in Quebec

Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a socioeconomically important species in Quebec. The major benefits of its exploitation justify the implementation of adapted management leading to sustainable exploitation of the resource. Since 2017, several Brook Trout populations in tributaries of the St. Lawrence River have shown signs of decline, notably through a significant decrease in abundance and average size of individuals. Habitat fragmentation, competition for resources, fishing, and climate change are the factors generally put forward to explain these downward trends. The coexistence of two ecotypes in Brook Trout, one resident and the other anadromous, characterized by different life cycles, complicates the management of this species.
In this research program, we propose an interdisciplinary, integrative, and innovative approach to identify the links between the environment and the different mechanisms that govern the physiology and ecology of Brook Trout. The main objective of the proposed project is to identify the environmental factors that generate anadromy or residence within the same population, as well as to determine at which level of biological organization these differences can be quantified. The specific objectives are to determine at which level of biological organization it becomes possible to differentiate anadromous Brook Trout from residents using characterization of gene expression, field metabolic rate, behavior, and otolith elemental fingerprinting. Together, the analysis of these different existing or newly generated databases will highlight the most important physiological and ecological functions that can be used to differentiate resident individuals from anadromous individuals and to guide stocking programs, with the aim of promoting the sustainable management of these two ecotypes.

Trame Bleue Québec

The concept of a blue network refers to the ecological network made up of watercourses and wetlands in a territory. It refers in particular to the ecological quality of aquatic habitats and the maintenance of the longitudinal and lateral connectivity necessary for aquatic organisms to complete their life cycle. Watercourses in urban and agricultural environments are subject to numerous disturbances that can alter the quality of the blue network: linearization and damming of the channel, alteration of the riparian strip, deforestation and soil sealing, contamination of water and sediments, fragmentation of habitats, etc. Since fish communities are located at the top of the trophic chain of watercourses, assessing the state of fish populations and their habitats is an effective way to draw up a portrait of the quality of the blue network and to target the interventions most likely to improve it. Quebec City is crossed by several rivers that form attractive recreational and natural corridors. However, the development of the full potential of these rivers is limited by the lack of up-to-date knowledge regarding the fish communities found there and the quality of their habitats. The main goal of the project is to develop a detailed portrait of the quality of the fish habitat in the Cap Rouge, Saint-Charles and Beauport rivers and their main tributaries (the Lorette and Berger rivers), to provide decision-makers with the information necessary to make informed decisions regarding the improvement and restoration of the habitats of these urban and agricultural waterways.
