Objectif(s): To tag broad whitefish in the Mackenzie River Delta to determine stock contribution as well as fish growth, movement, survival and population; to train local residents in the methods and techniques of tagging fish so that they will be able to conduct future tagging programs.

Description du projet: The researchers will tag broad whitefish in the Mackenzie River Delta in the vicinity of Horseshoe Bend. During this season, fish are moving to areas further upstream. Tagging will provide information about the movements, growth, survival and numbers of whitefish and will contribute to their management. Local residents will take part in a training program on the methods of tagging fish.
