Objective(s): To obtain samples of western arctic populations of lake trout and arctic charr in order to determine the genetic composition and postglacial origins of these populations.
Project Description: The researcher will be collecting lake trout and/or arctic charr from lakes in the vicinities of Hay River, Inuvik, Paulatuk and Tuktoyaktuk in order to examine the distributions of these species. Samples of liver and muscle tissue will be collected from these fish for genetic analyses: this research will provide information about how different populations are related to each other (i.e., their origins). Such information can help to better manage fish populations.
