Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5062. The two primary objectives are to: 1) maintain a community-based monitoring program of luk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus; herein referred to as whitefish) in the Peel River watershed, based in the communities of Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tsiigehtchic. Specifically, the research team measure fundamental b...

Principal Investigator: Harris, Les
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The objective of this study is to establish a baseline collection of tissue and fin samples from broad whitefish that will eventually be used for phylogeographic analysis and the classification of their genetic population structure. Local Gwich’in and Inuvialuit fishermen will be asked, on a volunteer-only basis, to collect fins or tissue samples from broad whitefish caught during the subsisten...

Principal Investigator: Freeman, Milton M.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The research team will carry out interviews with the Inuvialuit that are knowledgable about 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 the local environmental changes on whitefish....

Principal Investigator: Tallman, Ross F
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will work with other scientists to examine the broad whitefish of the Mackenzie River and associated tributaries of the Arctic Red and Peel Rivers. Features such as population size, migration, growth, age of sexual maturity and mortality will be examined. A study of the traditional knowledge of broad whitefish and fishing in the Mackenzie River will also be developed. Training i...

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....

Principal Investigator: Bell, Bob
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: This project was initiated following the concern voiced by the six ISR communities about the presence and levels of contaminants in the major country food sources. Samples of body tissues will be taken from charr, whitefish, seals and belugas in order to assess for heavy metal, organochlorine and PCB contaminants. These samples will be taken while other field research is being conducted by Fishe...

Principal Investigator: Johnson, Jim
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: Mackenzie River basin broad whitefish represent a mixed-stock population which utilizes different geographical areas for different stages of its life history. The study will examine the role of outer delta lakes and lakes/rivers of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in the life history of the Mackenzie River population....

Principal Investigator: Reist, James D.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: This work is a continuation of a 3 year FJMC funded study to determine genetic stock and structure of the broad whitefish population utilized by communities of the Mackenzie River basin....
