Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs) including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT (2024-2025)
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5906. Short-term goals are to determine if burbot contaminant concentrations: • Are above or below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). Annual data will be provided to NWT Health and Social Services for evaluation; • Are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. stable isotope ratio data (15N, 1...

Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2017 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5669. This research study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant (mercury, other metals, persistent organic contaminants) levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake, which the research team has been studying since the early 1990s. The team plans to arrange collection...

Contaminants (PAHs, mercury) in the Mackenzie River and fish health assessments: implementation of classic and new molecular screening tools for environmental monitoring and stressor assessment
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5333. This study will determine the concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in small-bodied fish in the Norman Wells/Imperial area near nature oil seeps and industrial activities with comparisons to be made with upstream (Tulita area) and downstream (Fort Good Hope) areas. The research team will also asses...

Aquatic Studies along the Mackenzie River and its Tributaries
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: This study is designed to investigate various measures of small fish health at a number of locations along the Mackenzie River. The researchers want to find out if small fish health is different near oil seepages and the islands at Norman Wells than in other parts of the river. Also, the researchers will investigate fish and benthic invertebrate abundance and species composition at selected strea...

Investigating the Importance of Water Chemistry on Mercury Concentration in Fish from Mackenzie River Basin Lakes
Principal Investigator: Stephens, Glen
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The objective of the work is to characterize the water chemistry of lakes with reported elevated concentrations of mercury in fish from the Mackenzie River Valley, which were sampled as part of the Department of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) fisheries management plan. This would help to establish if there is any relationship between basic lake water chemistry and mercury levels in fish which could be u...
