Principal Investigator: Jacobson, Toni Lynne
Licensed Year(s): 1996
Summary: Transportation to Bluefish Hydro Electric Plant is by boat from the Miramar Con Mine Dock at Prosperous Lake. Two one day field trips to the Plant are scheduled during the collection period. Equipment to be utilized include gill or seine nets, Gee traps, backpack electrofishing unit, water flow meter, water sample bottles, canoe and outboard motor. Sample species include whitefish, lake trout, ...

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 ...

Principal Investigator: Christensen, Jill
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1993
Summary: The researchers will continue to collect information on the consumption patterns in traditional and store-bought foods as well as lifestyle patterns (e.g., fishing and hunting activities, health beliefs, traditional food use) of residents of N'Dilo and Dettah. This information will be combined with results from the BAck Bay Fish Study (contaminants in fish) in order that human health implications ...

Principal Investigator: Pelletier, Clem
Licensed Year(s): 1994
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: Couture, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researchers of Rescan have been contracted by B.H.P. Minerals Canada Ltd. to conduct an assessment of the types of fish and other aquatic organisms that are found in the Lac de Gras area. Tissue samples will be collected in order to assess heavy metal contaminants in fish. An environmental report will be submitted to the Territorial Government on the results of this study....

Principal Investigator: Brotton, Janet
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The proposed research will investigate the implications of climatic change for fish and wildlife resources in the Mackenzie River Basin. A computer model will be used to predict temperature and precipitation changes associated with an expected doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations. Data points used in the modelling exercise will correspond to selected weather stations in the region. The res...

Principal Investigator: Sekerak, Aaron D.
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Researcher and his assistant will obtain information on fish in the area so that potential impacts of mining in the region can be assessed....

Principal Investigator: Kelly, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Robert Kelly and two fellow students will be interviewing owners and managers of 10-15 sport fishing lodges on Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes to compare the type of ownership with its impact on the local and regional economies....

Principal Investigator: Smith, B.Sc., Geoffrey M.
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: 1. To collect fish to obtain samples of muscle and liver tissue for heavy metal analysis; 2. To sample stream and lake habitat areas to evaluate fish species composition, density and habitat use....

Principal Investigator: Chang-Kue, Ken T.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: Investigate the fish population in order to accurately define the fisheries resource and critical aspects of their life cycle with reference to the impact of a proposed hydroelectric project....
