Assessment of the Western Arctic Boundary Current
Principal Investigator: Pickart, Robert S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5231. The main objective is to characterize the western Arctic Boundary current, which flows at the edge of the shelf, in order to understand its role in dictating shelf-basin exchange of water and materials and how it impacts the ecosystem of the region, including the occurrence of marine mammals. This project is a coll...

Beluga health and food borne parasites in the Inuvaluit Settlement region
Principal Investigator: Jenkins, Emily J
Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4667. The objectives of this project are: 1) to assess the health of the ISR beluga population (body condition, abnormalities, parasites); 2) to test for food borne parasites in beluga in the ISR (Toxoplasma, Trichinella); and, 3) to compare results to other marine mammal populations in the Arctic and beluga elsewhere. T...

Investigation of the nervous and immune systems in the beluga
Principal Investigator: Romano, Tracy
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: This research will examine the nervous (i.e., brain) and immune systems of beluga by collecting these tissues from harvested animals for laboratory analyses. This study will help to determine how contaminants affect the health of belugas. In addition, the data collected may lead to a better understanding of why whales strand themselves on the shoreline as it has been suggested that beached whale...
