Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5031.
The study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake which we have been studying since the early 1990s. The research team plans to collect lake trout from Great Slave Lake (Hay River area and Lutsel K’e area and also plans ...

Summary:
The short-term goals are to determine if 2019 burbot contaminant concentrations: 1) remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish); 2) are associated with dietary indicators to determine the influence of diet (via stable isotope ratios) on contaminant concentrations in current fish, although previous results suggested no association; and, 3) as well as to look for link...

2007 Summary:
This licence is being issued for the scientific research application # 778.
This research will examine the livers of Loche fish in the GSA. This research will be completed through: 1) field collection of loche in each of the GSA communities; 2) biological sampling of loche; 3) analysis of stomach health and aging (using isotopes). More specifically, biological measurements will be taken for ea...

1992 Summary:
As part of this ongoing study, sediment samples will be taken fron the deepest locations of Lac Belot and Colville Lake. These samples will be analyzed for the presence of contaminants and dated. These analyses will allow the researcher to construct histories of the input of contaminants to these lakes. In addition, lake trout, whitefish and burbot will be collected to determine what contaminan...
