The Shuswap River is a tributary of the Thompson River, which is in turn part of the Fraser River system in British Columbia. The Fraser River is one of the world's most productive salmon rivers and maintaining fish habitat values and water quality throughout the Fraser Basin is important to ensure the sustainability of the Fraser's fisheries resources. There are five anadromous salmonid species, six resident sport fish species, and numerous non-game species distributed within the Shuswap River watershed upstream of Mara Lake. The life histories of the anadromous species have spatial and temporal variations within the watershed specific to each species. Some species spend several years in freshwater before migrating to the Pacific Ocean. Resident fish populations have life histories that can be lacustrine, fluvial, or migratory-adfluvial. These complex life histories are often represented within one species, for example rainbow trout, which adds difficulty in attempting to separately document these populations.
