Objectif(s): To obtain information on contaminant levels and to assess the impact these levels have on the animals; to study fetal growth; to immobilize several walrus and attach satellite transmitters (PTT's) to their tusks.
Description du projet: The researcher and his team will collect data from up to 190 ringed seals harvested by Inuit hunters around Pangnirtung. Sampling is to obtain information on contaminant levels and to assess the impact these levels have on the animals. Material will also be used for a study of fetal growth. As well, the researchers will immobilize several walrus and attach satellite transmitters to their tusks.
