Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will determine what impact sewage effluent from the Hamlet of Aklavik is having on the water quality and biota downstream. A literature review on the entire Delta will be completed. Interview with people having camps on the Delta and field observations will give an idea of past and present distribution of wood frogs. Water quality samples will be taken and wetland biota describe...

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...

Summary: The Researchers will establish an overview of background levels of contaminants in the Mackenzie River Delta. The study includes collection of large volume water, suspended sediment and grab samples at both inflow and outflow sites of the Mackenzie River Delta. Large volume samples will be extracted at the Inuvik Research Centre, and concentrated before being shipped out for analysis....
