Principal Investigator: Bond, W.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1989
Summary: Since 1989 the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have conducted trap netting studies to monitor fish movements in Wood Bay near the mouth of the Anderson River. This is the last year of this study. They will examine the movements of the Arctic cisco within Liverpool Bay....

Principal Investigator: Collin, David
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: This study will examine the social and economic impacts of Canada's only commercial reindeer operation upon traditional patterns of hunting and fishing of the Inuvialuit. The impact of technology and transportation upon the operations will also be examined....

Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Steve
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Fieldwork will involve removing fish from selected pools by a number of methods including electroshocking, seine and angling. They will be anaesthetized, weighed, measured and tagged. The researcher estimates that no more than 5% of the total catch will be dead sampled....

Principal Investigator: Schwalme, Karl
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Karl Schwalme wants to know how and why the fat content of pike changes during the year. He will collect about 30-50 great northern pike from each lake by using a 2 1/2 inch gill net which will only be set during the day. He will then take the fish back to the Inuvik Research Centre to determine their fat content. Since some of the fats help to prevent heart disease in people, the annual change ...

Principal Investigator: MacDonell, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To conduct a complete enumeration of arctic char and othr fish species using a weir in the Big Fish River, N.W.T. Biological Data will be collected and a Schaefer Population Estimate will be conducted in order to compare the two enumeration methods....

Principal Investigator: Green, John M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To continue the ongoing study designed to investigate the postglacial dispersal patterns of freshwater and anadromous fishes by determining genetic relationships between fish populations inhabiting the rivers. Tissue samples will be collected and the genetic variations will be determined through analysis for selected proteins....

Principal Investigator: Tonn, W.M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To conduct preliminary sampling of small lakes in the general area of Inuvik by "test fishing". The information gathered will be used as a basis to initiate a research project on arctic fish ecology....

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: Takano, Toshio
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: As part of a master's thesis on the "Acculturation of the Canadian Eskimo" to study the various aspects of everyday Inuit life. Such things as social organization, religion, education levels, employment levels, technological awareness and levels of hunting fishing and trapping will be documented....

Principal Investigator: McDonnell, Sheila
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct a study to determine the current types of economic activity, the amount of wage employment and the extent of renewable resource harvesting, e.g. fishing, hunting, and trapping. The study will also look at the potential for future community- based economic growth....
