Local and Regional-Scale Societal Dynamics in Grizzly Bear Conservation
Principal Investigator: Clark, Douglas A.
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2003
Summary: Government agencies responsible for grizzly bear management have made significant investments in biological studies; however, wildlife management programs based solely on biology, without understanding the human side of grizzly bear management, run the risk of creating conflicts. People who share the land with bears are especially affected by these decisions. These conflicts can waste time and mon...


Testing Fish Deterrents for Use Under-Ice in the Mackenzie Delta Area
Principal Investigator: Hannay, David
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: This study is designed to assess the reaction of 4 northern freshwater fish species (Lake trout, Northern Pike, Lake whitefish and Inconnu) to underwater sound and light. Sound signals and strobe lights are commonly used to keep fish away from locations...


Devon Canada Corporation - Marine Mammals Study for the Proposed Beaufort Sea Offshore Drilling Program
Principal Investigator: Evans, Kevin
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: Five species of marine mammal regularly occur in the vicinity of the Devon exploration leases in the southern Beaufort Sea. These include beluga whale, bowhead whale, ringed seal, bearded seal, and polar bear. Other species such as narwhal, walrus and gr...


Rat River / Fish Creek Fish Hole Spring Reconnaissance
Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: Study will examine the location and extent of suitable overwintering habitat for charr in Rat River. Another objective is to document the location of spring upwellings at the overwintering site on Fish Creek. Knowledge of winter flow and temperature regimes of the spring and the effect of air temperature on the availability of overwintering habitat will provide managers with some ability to pred...


Genetics and postglacial dispersal of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and arctic charr (S. alpinus) in the western arctic
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Chris C.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990
Summary: The researcher will be collecting lake trout and/or arctic charr from lakes in the vicinities of Hay River, Inuvik, Paulatuk and Tuktoyaktuk in order to examine the distributions of these species. Samples of liver and muscle tissue will be collected from these fish for genetic analyses: this research will provide information about how different populations are related to each other (i.e., their o...


Broad whitefish tagging project
Principal Investigator: Babaluk, John
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: 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....


Wildlife Key Habitat Mapping Project in the northern Richardson Mountains area
Principal Investigator: Staniforth, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Effective wildlife management requires knowing the location, distribution and number of habitats that are important to wildlife. Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), there is some information on the habitat requirements of several species but descriptions of these habitats and information about how these habitats are important to wildlife are not documented. This study, supported by th...


Distribution, movements and relative abundance of dolly varden charr at the Big Fish River, NWT
Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: This project will involve tagging charr and monitoring their movements. The fish will be tagged at the overwintering site in spring, before they start to migrate downstream. The fish with radio tags will be tracked every 4-6 weeks throughout the spring, summer and fall. Fish caught by the summer fishery at Shingle Point and having floy tags will be recorded. 100 charr each (mostly females) wil...


Distribution, abundance, productivity, survival and habitat of white-fronted geese, Canada geese, Pacific brant and tundra swans in the Inuvialuit Region.
Principal Investigator: Hines, Jim
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Data on the distribution, abundance, survival/mortality, and productivity are essential for the sound management of wildlife populations but there is a critical lack of such information for white-fronted geese, Canada geese, Pacific brant and tundra swan populations from the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Helicopter surveys, ground counts and banding/neck collaring will help to determine distribut...


Enumeration of the upstream run of anadromous arctic charr at Kuujjua River, Victoria Island, N.W.T., in 1992.
Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: A full-span conduit weir will be used to estimate the strength (i.e., numbers) of the upstream run of arctic charr at the Kuujjua River. Fish passing through the weir will be counted and measured, and a subset of these fish will be tagged and sampled....
