2006 Summary:
The objective of this project is to assess the fish population of Travaillant Lake. Once in the summer and again during the fall, field crews will use experimental gill nets with varying mesh sizes to capture a representative sample of species and sizes within species in Travaillant Lake and at two locations in the Travaillant River.
The lake sampling site will be located on the southwest shor...

Summary:
Currently, little information exists on the fisheries resources of the Arctic Red River. Baseline information on fisheries resources is required to make sound management decisions. This information (e.g., biological characteristics of fish: length, weight, age at maturity, migration patterns, date of spawning; presence/absence of species) is collected through long-term studies, traditional knowled...

Summary:
This study involves the determination of the population structure of fish in the Mackenzie River. Specific objectives include the delineation of stocks of three fish species: loche (Lota lota), crookedback (Coregonus clupeaformis) and coney (Stenodus leucicthys), and the identification of downstream fisheries as mixed-stock or single-stock fisheries. A population genetics approach will be employed...
