Summary:
Project aims to identify hybrid between C. finmarchicus and C. glacialis and to estimate the geographical distribution of the hybrids.
Sample will be collected from a ring net, mesh size 200 micrometer (µm). The net will be deployed from the back of the boat. It will be towed vertically at a speed of 30 m/min. The samples collected will be sieve through 200 µm stainless steel mesh to separate w...

The objectives of this research project are: 1) to determine why fish mercury levels vary among lakes in the Dehcho region; 2) to identify best predictors of fish mercury levels; and, 3) to determine with fish have the lowest levels of mercury and the highest levels of nutrients.
The methods for this project include field sampling, laboratory analysis, and data analysis and reporting. The resea...

Summary:
The goal of this work is to assemble a representative collection of marine invertebrates, vascular plants, lichens, mosses, liverworts and aquatic, microscopic algae for research and educational purposes at the national museum (the Canadian Museum of Nature). Specimens will be used in ongoing research projects at the Canadian Museum of Nature, focused on the biodiversity of the vascular plant, lic...

Summary:
Our research will involve the survey of zooplankton communities in lakes and ponds of the Mackenzie Delta area (Inuvialuit private lands). Samples will be collected by either wading in ponds or by towing at net behind a float equipped helicopter. Samples will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently examined for genetic variation. Our work aims to establish the species diversity of zoopla...
