Defining the biothermal envelope of Dolly Varden in the Canadian Western Arctic to inform conservation planning.
Principal Investigator: Mochnacz, Neil
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The first phase of this field program was implemented in 2018, where approximately twenty loggers were deployed and retrieved. A minimum sample size of seventy is required to build a robust stream temperature model. The research team propose to deploy July 14-15 and retrieve August 29-30 the remaining temperature loggers (n = 50) across the Fish Creek watershed. This data will be used to develop a...


Distribution and Habitat Use of Sensitive Fish Species along the Mackenzie River Valley
Principal Investigator: Mochnacz, Neil
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: The Mackenzie Gas Pipeline will cross more than 600 tributaries of the Mackenzie River, ranging from small (< 1 m) vegetated swales to large rivers. All construction methods, with the exception of trenchless drilling, will disturb the bed and banks of the rivers they cross. Fish habitat use and distribution has not been studied in sufficient detail. Fish will be captured and identified for spec...


Identification and assessment of critical bull trout habitat in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Mochnacz, Neil
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: The proposed research intends to address bull trout management concerns in the Northwest Territories (NWT) from a habitat perspective. The project will study habitat requirements and availability for bull trout in the NWT focusing on appropriate habitat protection for oil and gas development in the region. Transportation to and from sampling sites will be provided by helicopter. Basic camping e...
