20092008 Summary:
The fisheries portion of this baseline program has three primary objectives: to identify the fish species composition in a subset of the lakes and streams near the Thor Lake project area, to identify existing fish habitat in those lakes and streams, and to measure the current levels of mercury, rare earth elements and other trace elements in fish tissues. A secondary objective of the program is to...

200420012000 Summary:
The overall objective of this project is to collect additional fisheries information from Kennady Lake, the surrounding watershed and from “Control Lake” in the adjacent watershed for use in the environmental assessment of the De Beers Canada Inc. proposed Gahcho Kué Project.
The studies that have been planned for 2007 include sampling for peamouth to determine whether it is present in the area...

Summary:
Sampling of water, sediment, benthic invertebrates, fish inventories, and fish habitat mapping will be done. Water will be collected for chemical analysis, and limnology measurements taken. Sediment will be collected for chemical analysis and particle size analysis. Benthic invertebrates will be collected for taxonomic identification. Fish species, presence and relative abundance will be determine...

Summary:
The field program will be conducted during three sampling periods (spring, summer and fall). Lakes and streams in the immediate vicinity of the potential mine site will be examined. Sampling techniques will include angling, snorkeling, backpack electrofishing, beach seining, minnow traps and gill netting for fish. Plankton nets and eckman dredges will be used to collect plankton and benthic mac...
