Brook trout are rare and do not reproduce in these areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Brown and rainbow trout have adapted to these reaches and are the primary indicator<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">species along with mottled sculpin and American brook lamprey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Other common species include rainbow and fantail darter, northern hog sucker and<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">stonecat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Overall species diversity is higher than Coldwater streams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The main river from Inglewood to Huttonville is classified as Cold \/ Coolwater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Mixed Cool \/ Warmwater<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Seasonal use by brook trout in headwater areas draining to Coldwater habitats including some tributaries of the West Credit, Silver and Black Creeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Utilized by migratory trout and salmon in lower reaches of watershed including Levis, Mullet and Fletchers Creeks. Reproduction is suspected but the relatively cooler waters to the main river can provide important refuge habitat for these young migratory species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Cool \/ Warmwater habitat extends to the upper reaches of Levis and Mullet Creeks. Cooler temperatures and better baseflows (associated with silt\/sand\/gravel lenses or wetland storage) than Small Warmwater streams should exist, but existing fish communities may not reflect this due to extensive land use impacts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Normally species associated with groundwater discharge headwater wetland areas such as central mudminnow and northern redbelly dace are common. However, these species are absent below the Niagara Escarpment in the Credit watershed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The redside dace should also be best associated with Cool \\ Warmwater habitats but has also been reported in other stream types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Both Cool \\ Warmwater and Small Warmwater streams have intermittent headwaters that certain species will utilize on a seasonal basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Small Warmwater<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The most dominant species found include creek chub and blacknose dace . These species are also found in other stream types and best utilize intermittent reaches along with brook stickleback. Other species tolerant of warm temperatures and lower dissolved oxygen include bluntnose and fathead minnows. White sucker is also often common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">A greater diversity of minnows, some habitat specialists and water quality sensitive species may also be present, especially where access to larger Mixed or Warmwater streams are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Most typical of clay till plains with few silt\/sand\/gravel components such as Fletchers and upper Mullet Creeks and other smaller streams. Caledon Creek is classified as Small Warmwater due to some till material but more so because watertables are often below streambed elevations, particularly along the main branch which can dry-up and thenresurfaces as a Coldwater stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><b>Large Warmwater<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">A large order river or lake, often with wetland habitats and a diversity of common species and habitat specialists and including top predatory fish such as bass and pike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The best indicator species for the lower Credit is the smallmouth bass, its distribution is<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">limited upstream by the Streetsville Dam. Its introduction above and upstream to the Norval Dam is recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">A number of species are only found in the lower Credit and may be associated with access from Lake Ontario including river chub, emerald, spottail, rosyface and spotfin shiners.
