Objective(s): Objective is to thoroughly document Inuvialuit knowledge of the natural history and ecological relationships of the broad whitefish populations in the Mackenzie drainage basin and nearshore marine waters.
Project Description: Under the direction of the Aklavik and Inuvik HTA's, the research team will carry out interviews with Inuvialuit that are knowledgable about the broad whitefish and its fishery in the local waters. Data to be obtained include information on the traditional fishery, changes to this fishery, knowledge about the breeding and feeding habits, migrations, parasites and diseases, and effects of local environmental changes on whitefish.
