“…Habitat rehabilitation projects have modelled microhabitat (e.g., Koljonen et al, 2013), scour potential (e.g., Elkins et al, 2007;Fischer et al, 2020), and bioenergetics (Wheaton et al, 2018) The lower side channel was originally designed to have a smoothly graded connection to the mainstem at the downstream outlet, with a connection occurring from the upstream end only at flood flows (i.e. >141.58 m 3 /s).…”

“…Habitat rehabilitation projects have modelled microhabitat (e.g., Koljonen et al, 2013), scour potential (e.g., Elkins et al, 2007; Fischer et al, 2020), and bioenergetics (Wheaton et al, 2018) but thus far not fish stranding risk. Unfortunately, creating shallow landforms inevitably increases redd dewatering and fish stranding risks.…”

“…Walleye and Lake Whitefish seem to have a preference for course rocky substrates over sand and silt spawning habitats, which could have potentially led these species to spawn in treatment plots with increased relative hardness after cleaning (Johnson 1961; Anras et al 1999; Raabe and Bozek 2012). Additionally, when newly available quality spawning habitat becomes available (e.g., construction of spawning reefs), both species have been documented spawning on these structures within one spawning year of their creation (Wagner, 1959; Katt et al 2011; Roseman et al 2011a, 2011b; Fischer et al 2018). It is then possible that the displacement of fine sediments from some of our treatment plots potentially attracted spawning Walleye and Lake Whitefish.…”

“…Lake Whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis are another species of lithophilic spawners that also have strong spawning site preference for high‐quality rocky substrates (Bryan and Kato 1975; Anras et al 1999). Additionally, when high‐quality spawning substrates have been added (e.g., artificial reefs) to areas with degraded rocky habitats, both Walleye and Lake Whitefish have been documented spawning on these structures within the first year of construction, suggesting a preference for the newly created habitat (Katt et al 2011; Roseman et al 2011b; Fischer et al 2018). Given the preference for high‐quality spawning habitat by some species of lithophilic spawners and the potential negative effects associated with rocky reef degradation, remediation and maintenance of spawning and nursery reef habitats may be necessary.…”

“…The reef team expanded field surveys to make more substantial use of side-scan sonar, underwater video, SCUBA surveys, and water velocity mapping with acoustic Doppler current profilers to identify potential upstream sediment sources, mobile bedforms indicative of bedload transport, and areas where decreasing shear stresses could encourage sediment deposition (Vaccaro et al 2016;Fischer et al 2020a;Fischer et al 2020b). In addition, a two-dimensional flow model was developed for the system, to predict flow patterns and sediment transport potential at a 20 × 20 m resolution (Kinzel et al 2016).…”
