Bioassay-based investigations on Arctic beluga blubber samples
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2023
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5471. The objectives of this research project are to: 1. Characterize the effects that chemical extracts from the traditional food samples have on a number of cellular processes. Their results can indicate the type of toxicity that those chemical extracts may cause. 2. Use the Arctic beluga as a "clean" reference in inves...


Measuring Changes to Persistent Organic Pollutant Bioavailability from Preparing Marine Mammal Blubber for Human Consumption
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 2014
Résumé: The objectives of this research project are: 1. to investigate the impact of common preparation methods on the concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids and environmental contaminants in beluga muktuk; 2. to determine if phase separation in beluga muktuk causes oil and solid phases to have significantly different omega-3 fatty acid and contaminant levels; and 3. to suggest possible beluga muktuk co...


Investigation of the nervous and immune systems in the beluga
chercheur principal:
Année(s) de permis: 1993
Résumé: 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...
