| Arctic Village is an assembly of 40-odd spruce-log cabins that overlook the serpentine bends, oxbows, and channels of the East Fork. |
| They contribute to its good health in reshaping the river bed and the banks, in topping up the water tables, and in replenishing the oxbows. |
| The fish are a mix of juveniles and adults spread throughout ponds, oxbows and main river channels along the Rewa and Rupununi Rivers. |
| In essence, the stream follows a lower, more confined route, whilst a series of meandering high-level oxbows provide convenient bypasses. |
| It prefers lakes, oxbows, and lagoons with deep connections to large rivers and abundant aquatic vegetation. |
| Floodplains elevated only a few feet above river level, abandoned river channels, and oxbows may have standing or sluggishly flowing water for appreciable parts of the year and thus support swamps and marshes. |
