Objective(s): To determine the relative importance of coastal habitat on the west side of the Mackenzie River Delta to inconnu fisheries at Aklavik, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic.
Project Description: A sample of potential spawners (inconnu) will be tagged (30 radio tags and up to 300 anchor tags) in the area of shingle point, Coney Lake and possible other areas in the outer delta. fish will be captured using a combination of gillnets, box traps, angling, and seining. Tracking of radio tagged inconnu will be done from a fixed wing aircraft. Recapture information from tagged fish captured in the subsistence fisheries of Aklavik, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic will also be obtained.
