Objective(s): The objective of this study is to conduct index gillnetting during the open water season in order to understand species abundance and health of marine and anadromous fish from selected locations in the Mackenzie estuary. This study is part of the Tariuq program, which was initiated in 2000 in the communities of Tuktoyaktuk and Aklavik as a means of allowing community members to discuss concerns related to the health of the ocean and to develop their own community-based monitoring program.
