Nahanni Aster Status Report
chercheur principal: Harris, Allan G
Année(s) de permis: 2012
Résumé: The objective of this research project is to conduct fieldwork to determine the population size, distribution, and habitat of Nahanni Aster. Fieldwork will involve helicopter access to hotspring habitats. Presence/absence of Nahanni Aster will be recorded, stems counts will be conducted, and habitat and potential threats will be described. There are possible opportunities to promote the Nahanni a...


Lake trout diversity in Great Bear Lake: do deep-water forms exist?
chercheur principal: Muir, Andrew M
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2010
Résumé: The objective of this project is to sample known and newly discovered deepwater (>50 m) habitats southwest of the Narakay Islands and within the McTavish Arm to determine if a deepwater humper or siscowet lake trout form occurs. Data on the occurrence and characteristics of deepwater lake trout forms from Great Bear Lake will fill in gaps in this North American lake trout dataset. Currently it is ...
