Principal Investigator: Freeman, Milton M.R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: Under the direction of the Aklavik and Inuvik HTA's, the research team will carry out interviews with Inuvialuit that are knowledgable about the broad whitefish and its fishery in the local waters. Data to be obtained include information on the traditional fishery, changes to this fishery, knowledge about the breeding and feeding habits, migrations, parasites and diseases, and effects of local en...

Principal Investigator: Nakayama, Tsunesuke
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect arctic marine life such as fishes, invertebrates and sea algaes in order to contribute to the conservation of marine environments, and deepen understanding of arctic marine life. Tokyo Sea Life Park has started research on breeding behavior and early life history of arctic marine animals, as well as exhibits in the Tokyo Sea Life Park of arctic marine anim...

Principal Investigator: Sandstrom, Stephen J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: This project addresses questions pertaining to the energy composition and habitat utilization of female sea-run Dolly Varden char (Salvelinus malma) of the Yukon Slope. The direct consequences of energy partitioning to fucundity (spawning success) and stored energy reserves (overwintering success) have significant effects on population abundance....

Principal Investigator: Armstrong, Terry
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: Numbers of Brant are low relative to other Arctic geese. This research will determine the number of pairs breeding in the colony, their nesting success and brood survival rates to increase the information needed for the Arctic Goose Joint Venture of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan....

Principal Investigator: Hankinson, Flt. LT. K.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1988
Summary: Multi-disciplinary research will be undertaken in botany, geology, micro meteorology, soil science, remote sensing, breeding biology of Arctic char and archaeological survey. These studies are a continuation of those begun in 1988....

Principal Investigator: Straszynski, Elizabeth
Licensed Year(s): 1990
Summary: "Tadpole shrimp" (Notostraca) occur in ponds at all latitudes in Canada. Activity and behavior show differences between the sexes. Mating behaviour shows differences between the two latitudes already tested. Studies in southern and northern Manitoba (Portage la Prairie; Churchill) will be compared with those in the eastern Northwest Territories (Igloolik)....

Principal Investigator: Norment, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Mr. Norment is studying the breeding biology of the Harris' Sparrow and White-crowned Sparrow. He will be collecting data on any physical (such as weather, food supply, nest-site, predators) or genetic (such as number of eggs, breeding cycle, condition of females) factors....

Principal Investigator: Goodman, Arni
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct surveys to determine the conditions of historic land use sites. To conduct water shed surveys, habitat surveys, and to determine the success of last year's bird breeding. The purpose of these surveys is also to determine if the boundaries of the sanctuaries are appropriate for species management purposes....

Principal Investigator: Pattie, Donald L.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To conduct bird census counts on various species to establish habitat areas and rate of return to breeding grounds....

Principal Investigator: Miller, E.H.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To begin a multi-year study of the natural history and breeding biology of the white rumped sandpiper. The study will also include an assessment of the mortality rates of chicks and adults and document return rate to nesting areas. Birds will be banded and measured after catching them with mist nets and drop-traps....
