Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Steve
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researcher will continue to study the energy composition of and summer habitat utilization by Babbage River Dolly Varden. Fish will be collected by a number of methods, measured, tagged and released. A sub-sample will be dead sampled for sex, maturity and ageing structures as well as a number of dead samples will be frozen on site and transported to Winnipeg for analysis....

Principal Investigator: Bailey, Robert C.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To sample the organisms living on rock surfaces (benthic invertebrates) in at least 25 streams fo the Mackenzie Delta area. The number of species present and their relative abundance will be estimated and correlated with environmental factors such as the stream size and flow rate. Habitat data will also be collected at each site....

Principal Investigator: Dickson, H. Loney
Licensed Year(s): 1985
Summary: To collect vascular plants to more clearly define the habitat preferences of the various bird species....

Principal Investigator: Hastings, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To study the area to determine how the climate affects the vegetation and how the vegetation in turn encourages certain types of small animal habitation....

Principal Investigator: Korczinski, Rita
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct a study of the life cycle and habitat of the isopod, Mesidotea entomon (a small crustacean). The study will also include consideration of the isopod as a food source for fish. To determine the extent of isopods as a food source, fish samples will be taken for subsequent laboratory analysis....

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To collect data on late winter habitats and diets of carioub on the Boothia Peninsula for pipeline assessments; to determine how long productivity rates can remain at low levels on Melville and Prince Patrick Islands; to examine growth indices of arctic willow and their relationship to past productivity of caribou; to make management of insular and near insular populations of caribou easier and mo...
