Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5657. The main objective of this research is to collect eDNA samples to determine the essential habitat requirements of Dolly Varden and to maintain the temperature monitoring network in Fish Creek. For eDNA collection, two litres of water will be collected in the stream and a portable pump will be used to filter the wat...

Summary: This study is designed to fill science gaps in Environment Canada’s understanding of the structure and functioning of the aquatic environment potentially impacted by various aspects of the Mackenzie Gas Project. While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relative...

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....

Summary: In response to concerns expressed by the Holman HTC regarding the size of arctic charr caught in the subsistence fishery at the Kuujjua River, a sampling/harvest monitoring program was initiated. In 1992, the sampling program will be repeated by the community and an initial sampling of Kuuk Lake charr will be conducted....

Summary: Representatives of the Paulatuk HTC have counted, measured and sampled all fish caught in the domestic fishery located at the mouth of the Hornaday River during the past several years. The project was standardized in 1990, with 1992 representing the third consecutive year of thorough monitoring of this fishery....

Summary: A deflection board weir was used to assess the size of the upstream run of dolly varden charr at Big Fish River in 1991. Results suggested that migrant non-spawners may have been deterred by the weir. Consequently, the 1992 attempt to estimate run size used tagging methods at the Cache Creek site. The fish tagged at Cache Creek will be captured at the Fish Hole in the fall in order to produce a...

Summary: The Big Fish River was closed to fishing activities in 1986 in accordance with recommendations by the Aklavik HTC and the Fisheries Joint Management Committee based on indications that the stock had been overfished. After a five-year recovery period, the river was opened to fishing in 1992. A quota of 700 fish (caught during the month of August) was set and all fished captured in the fishery wer...

Summary: Under the direction of the Aklavik and Inuvik HTA's, the research team will carry out interviews with Inuvialuit that are knowledgable about the broad whitefish and its fishery in the local waters. Data to be obtained include information on the traditional fishery, changes to this fishery, knowledge about the breeding and feeding habits, migrations, parasites and diseases, and effects of local en...
