This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4573.
The objectives of this study are to:
1) establish a population estimate of walleye in Sanguez Lake;
2) establish an additional estimate of fish mercury concentrations in walleye and pike. In 2013, mean mercury concentration in walleye was 0.71 mg/kg wet weight, and in pike was 1.09 mg/kg wet weight;
