Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5013. The main objective of the 2021 Giant Mine Large Bodied Fish Tissue Program is to update the dataset for large-bodied fish tissue chemistry in the area. The fish survey will focus on fish species that are thought to be frequently consumed by people in the area. This work is to supplement baseline data for Aquatic Effec...

Summary: Diavik Diamond Mine requires construction of a system of water retention dikes in Lac de Gras to facilitate open-pit mining under dry conditions. The water retention dikes will result in a loss of fish habitat within the footprint of each dike. Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. (DDMI) has received authorization to construct the dikes in Lac de Gras. As a condition of the project’s authorization, Diavik pl...

Summary: The purpose of this study is for the communities most affected by the mining operation of Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. (DDMI) to be able to collect and apply traditional knowledge to assess southern caribou migration, water quality and the quality of Lac de Gras fish before, during, and after mining operations. A Helicopter, float planes, and boats will be used to transport equipment and individ...

Summary: As part of the 2003 Baker Creek Environmental Monitoring Program, Dillon Consulting Limited will conduct fish habitat assessments at Baker Creek, Yellowknife. Benthic invertebrates will be sampled at each of 8 sampling sites using multi-plate artificial...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This study serves to identify existing habitat characteristics of the identified portion of Baker Creek, identify resident fish communities at the time of sampling, and to identify potential rehabilitation and restoration concepts to assist in the re-establishment of historic fish habitat conditions. Field studies will involve the identification of fish habitat characteristics, the identification ...

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....

Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will be utilizing the following techniques for assessing aquatic biota and fish habitat utilization: gillnetting (various sizes and meshes), trapnetting (mark-recapture program), minnow-trapping and electroshocking (backpack model). A select number of fish will also be retained for aging (using otoliths), tissue metals concentration and diet analysis....

Principal Investigator: Somji, Feisal
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researcher will conduct an intensive gillnetting program using multi-mesh gillnet gangs to determine the size and characteristics of fish populaitons in the project area. Both floating and bottom sets will be used, perpendicular and parallel to the shoreline. It is proposed that 40 fish of each species found will be taken from each lake sampled....
