An annotated bibliography of relevant biological monitoring on the Slave and Hay rivers and previous biological indicator work undertaken in the Mackenzie River Basin was completed. A large number of documents, research articles, and databases were reviewed for their relevancy to biological monitoring, or the development of biological indicators in the Slave and Hay river basins. The literature review focused on the interim biological indicators listed in the agreement (i.e. fish, aquatic mammals, invertebrates) and also included other indicators such as amphibians, ecosystem, algae, vegetation and birds.
