Summary: The crew will fly from Yellowknife to the Tundra Ecosystem Research Station camp on Daring Lake from BHP (Ekati Mine) by helicopter. The research team itinerary consists of: (1) setting up the camp; (2) sampling all of the major streams flowing into Daring Lake for chemistry and instantaneous flow; (3) walking through several basins to decide on an intensive sampling site; and (4) installing dri...

Summary: In project area streams, fish presence/absence and/or densities will be obtained by electrofishing representative habitat. Benthic invertebrates ans periphyton (stream algae) will be sampled at stream sites to determine seasonal changes in composition, distribution and abundance. Lake fisheries population studies will involve fish trapping. Lake limnology, plankton and benthic invertebrates wil...

Principal Investigator: Rigler, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To test the applicability of the Dillon and the Rigler (1974) method of predicting the nutritional status of lakes in the sub-Arctic. This will be done by chemically analyzing water samples taken from several lakes in the sub-Arctic to determine the ability of these lakes to sustain basic life forms....
