Metabolism of Arctic Organisms
Principal Investigator: Ballantyne, J.S.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The research will determine the kinds of fats of Arctic fish and invertebrates found in various parts of the body (blood, liver, kidney, muscle, brain) and how they change when the fish move from freshwater into seawater or when the temperature changes. The studies will determine how Arctic animals are different from similar animals found in warmer climates and how Arctic animals are adapted to Ar...

Polar Ecology Field Research
Principal Investigator: Curtis, Mark A.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1989
Summary: The research scientists and graduate students involved are primarily interested in three topics in the aquatic ecosystems of the Igloolik region: (1) the species compostion of marine phytoplankton; (2) the cold adaptation physiology of polar cod; (3) the parasites of arctic char....

Cardiovascular Performance and Adaptations of Arctic Char
Principal Investigator: Graham, Mark S
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The study will involve capturing freshwater char to use in laboratory experiments. The body temperature of fish is the same as the water they live in. Therefore, arctic fishes live their lives at or near the freezing mark. This work will investigate the mechanical functions of Arctic Char hearts: how powerful, how much blood they can pump and what is a reasonable maximum work load....
