Summary: The purpose of this project is to obtain baseline data for fish communities in Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) and Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) lakes and use these data to predict future changes in fish communities caused by climate change. Specific objectives are: 1) to develop a baseline data set for fish populations, fish habitat, water quality, and water temperature for small and m...

Summary: The overall objective of this research is to improve our knowledge on present-day food webs/productivity in small Arctic pond/lake systems in order to better predict changes that could occur under changing climate. The methodology described below pertains to all research activities related to this research component dealing with fish. All other research activities related to this work were revi...

Summary: The Department of Renewable Resources, in consultation with Hunters and Trappers organizations, is conducting a survey of the types and quantities of various marine species found in the waters near the communities of Holman, Taloyoak, Gjoa Haven, Cambridge Bay, Coppermine and Umingmaktok. The researchers are interested in knowing if there are sufficient shrimp, scallops, cod, clams, crab or turbo...

Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will visit selected locations on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in order to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of streams as well as to document the different types of freshwater animals found in these streams. This information will be important in assessing the fish habitats and fishery potential of the region. In addition, the information may be important in assessing ...

Principal Investigator: Taylor, John S.
Licensed Year(s): 1981
Summary: To total of 18 lakes will be studied and sampled to determine the importance of lake type to various fish populations. Fish will be sampled using weirs, gill nets, seines, fyke nets, minnow traps and trawl nets....

Principal Investigator: Jasper, J.N.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To measure peak flows to determine designs for proposed culvert and bridge sites along the Mackenzie Highway and to assess Environmental conditions (erosion, etc.) at stream crossings before and after construction and to determine their effects on fish migration....
