Objective(s): to determine whether major rearing/overwintering of juvenile Arctic cisco from the Mackenzie River occurs east of the Mackenzie Delta; to identify specific areas to the east of the Mackenzie Delta that may be critical to the maintenance of Mackenzie River Arctic cisco stocks; to quantify the significance of such eastern locations to Mackenzie River populations; to enhance DFO's database in relation to the distribution and life histories of other Arctic anadromous and marine fish species.
Project Description: Mr. Bond and his team will set trapnets along the east coast of Wood Bay near the mouth of the Anderson River to monitor seasonal movements of Arctic cisco and other anadromous and marine fish species in that area.
