Part of David Narver fonds
Series consists of records related to Narver’s three-decade career, including in his capacity as Anadromous Fisheries Coordinator, Acting Chief of Fisheries Management, and Director of the Fisheries Branch (alternately Director of the Recreational Fisheries Branch). Contents are primarily reports (research and administrative), correspondence, and transcripts of presentations and speeches. Reports include research findings, mostly concerning Steelhead Salmon, and planning and policy documents prepared by Narver and others for the Provincial and Federal governments. Minutes of Fisheries Branch meetings are also included. Correspondence is primarily with other researchers, though some from his time working for the Ministry of Environment are with members of the public concerning various Ministry initiatives. Some press coverage of the Carnation Creek research and rehabilitation project, which Narver headed, is included. Presentations and speeches by Narver generally concern Narver’s area of specialization, salmonid conservation and stream ecology, with a selection concerning recreational fishing. Speeches not by Narver cover a variety of subjects related to his professional area of expertise in some capacity. The series also contains materials related to Narver’s posting at the New Brunswick Federal Biological Station, where he was stationed in the early 1970s for professional development purposes, largely to increase his knowledge of Atlantic Salmon. New Brunswick records include photographs, research reports, and a personal notebook. Photographs are predominantly charts and graphs of research data, with a minority of personal photographs of unknown individuals, mostly at rivers or lakes outdoors.
