Fish Habitat Compensation Monitoring Program - Highway #3, Stagg River
Principal Investigator: Moore, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: This program is a detailed assessment of the created/enhanced habitat at Frank Channel, based on fish use and function in comparison with habitat design targets. Habitat monitoring will require seasonal assessments within the open water period at times associated with the targeted fish's life stages (Northern Pike). During early spring, mid summer and late summer, Frank Channel habitat will be m...


The Effectiveness of a Diversion Channel in Providing Fish Habitat in NWT Barrenlands
Principal Investigator: Jones, Nicholas
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000 1999
Summary: Recently BHP Diamonds Canada has "dewatered" a number of lakes and created a diversion channel to re-route water around two open pit mines. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the diversion canal as habitat before and after it is enhanced with fish habitat structures and also in relation to natural streams in the area. In early spring Arctic grayling will be captured in we...


Water, Sediment and Fish Testing of Marian River system
Principal Investigator: Nevitt, Zabey
Licensed Year(s): 1999 1998
Summary: For many years the Dogrib have trapped and fished in and around the Marian River. There are concerns that contaminants are entering the river system. Some of the concerns include: effects on health from eating fish and effects on heath from drinking water. Field collection will take place over two days. The team will travel by canoe from Rae. Seven fish will be caught by members of the community f...


Highway #3 Reconstruction, Preferred Alignment Fisheries Habitat Assessments
Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This study is to identify existing habitat characteristics of the potential and existing stream and pond crossings of the Highway #3 reconstruction project. Field studies will involve the identification of fish habitat characteristics, the potential identification of present fish species in those systems that suggest fish habitat is present by using seine netting techniques. Background data search...


Snap Lake Fishery Inventory
Principal Investigator: Brodie, Chris
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The purpose of the study is to carry out a small fish inventory of Snap Lake, located North East of Yellowknife and south of MacKay Lake. Gill nets will be set in the lake over 3 nights. A backpack electrofisher will be used at the lake margins and tributaries. Transportation to and from the site will be by float plane from Yellowknife. Sample size and species are the objectives of the study, and ...


Studies on the past, present and future ecological impact on Canadian northern boreal forest and arctic ecosystems due to mining activities, shown at the Great Slave Lake area, Northwest Territories, Canada
Principal Investigator: Steinecke, Karin
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: The project will focus on understanding, analyzing and evaluating the reactions of the northern boreal forest ecosystems in the Great Slave Lake region due to man made stress of mining, settlement and connecting activities. The project will try to develop some general conclusions, statements and model systems. The research team (2 persons) will come from Europe to Yellowknife by plane. The base wi...


Damoti Lake Gold Project Environmental/Engineering Baseline Study.
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Gord
Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Activities at the Damoti Lake Project Site will be as follows; 1) Archaeology - short site visit with field survey, 2) Terrestrial work will emphasize vegetation types and their value as wildlife habitat. Specific surveys for signs of moose, furbearers, raptors and other species, 3) Aquatic studies will emphasize habitat values in both lake and stream locations. Water quality work, 4) Hydrology w...


BHP Diamonds baseline and long-term monitoring aquatic studies
Principal Investigator: Morantz, David
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: The techniques to be used for the assessment of the fisheries in the Lac de Gras area will include small-mesh (1.5 inch) gillnetting, trapnetting (mark-recapture program), minnow-trapping and electroshocking (backpack model for stream surveys). Most fish will be live-released. A select number of fish will be retained (killed), for aging verification (using otoliths), tissue metals concentration ...


NWT Diamonds Project - Revegetation Research
Principal Investigator: Witteman, John
Licensed Year(s): 1996 1995
Summary: As part of overall reclamation goals of BHP, the 1996 season will focus on three components. Vegetation response will be assessed in August using the point-frame method. Within the legume, indigenous seed and shrub cutting plots, plant density will be recorded. Soil samples in replicates of three will be collected from each treatment to analyze physical and chemical characteristics. Secondly, ...


Environmental screening and review of a proposed marina
Principal Investigator: Hubert, Ben
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: A standard sein net will be drawn through the shallows of two small bays proposed for marina development. Fish will be collected, preserved and identified....
