Principal Investigator: Hovel, Rachel A
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019
Summary: The objective of this project is to maintain a community-based monitoring program in the communities of Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tsiigehtchic. Data collected in this community-based monitoring program and other previous research has shown that ocean-migrating broad whitefish use the Peel River as spawning habitat, and that these fish also make extensive migrations between rivers in the lowe...

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Amy L
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
Summary: This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 778. This research will examine the livers of Loche fish in the GSA. This research will be completed through: 1) field collection of loche in each of the GSA communities; 2) biological sampling of loche; 3) analysis of stomach health and aging (using isotopes). More specifically, biological measurements will be taken for ea...

Principal Investigator: Thompson, Amy L
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: This project is divided into two phases: Year 1: Traditional knowledge interviews (this licence) will be conducted in each of the four GSA communities. The objective is to document traditional knowledge about loche biology and loche liver condition. Specifically, questions will be asked about loche spawning, movements, predator-prey relationships, habitat, historic changes, loche livers and tra...

Principal Investigator: Dahlke, Lothar
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Three crews of two people each will be stationed at the commercial fishing camps to obtain biological and catch effort data from the fisherman. A supervisor will oversee the project in the field and set some experimental nets in the vicinity of the commercial nets at one of the camps. A minimum of 200 whitefish samples will be obtained from the fishermen's catch....

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: 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....
