Objective(s): To provide indices of relative population size based on the catch per unit effort (CPUE) at Aklavik charr fishing sites; to monitor the number, size, sex and life history stages of charr taken by Aklavik residents in the various community fisheries; to facilitate return of fish tags recovered in the summer domestic fisheries.
Project Description: In 1992, most charr fishing by Aklavik residents took place at Shingle Point and the town site in Aklavik (similar to fishing during the 1987-1991 closure). In this first year of the monitoring program, information will be collected on the total number of charr caught, harvest locations and characteristics of tagged fish.
