Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Steve
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: The Fieldwork will involve removing fish from selected pools by a number of methods including electroshocking, seine and angling. They will be anaesthetized, weighed, measured and tagged. The researcher estimates that no more than 5% of the total catch will be dead sampled....

Principal Investigator: Davies, Stuart
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Don MacDonell and his assistants will be capturing arctic char at two locations on the Maguse River. The fish will be measured, tagged, and released. By comparing the number of tagged fish with the number of untagged fish at the upstream capture site, they will be able to estimate the size of the char population. This information will be used by the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans to look at the ...

Principal Investigator: Stewart, D. Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To assess the commercial fishing potential of rivers near the head of Prince Albert Sound, Victoria Island, NWT, by placing in a live capture weir to count the fish running up Kuuk River, and by tagging and sampling the char. Also gillnet testing will be completed at Nalaogyuk and Kagluk Rivers. A number of fish from each site will be analyzed for pesticide and heavy metals....

Principal Investigator: Davis, Stuart
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To determine the feasibility of Arctic Char stocking in Jack Fish Lake, for a commercial scale farm and hatchery and to determine the economic and nutritional costs and benefits of foods derived from local fish silage versus imported commercially prepared feeds....

Principal Investigator: Elmgren, Lindsay D.
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: Trapping of arctic char in order to assess the natural carrier state of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus; possible effects the virus may have on arctic char and other salmonid species will be studied. The arctic char virus will also be compared to other IPN viruses....

Principal Investigator: Curtis, Mark A.
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To determine the parasite counts in char and study the effects of the parasites on the condition of the fish, their growth rate and their ability to reproduce....
