Methods development of acute toxicity testing using marine invertebrates from the Canadian arctic.
Principal Investigator: Gandia, Ruben
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Clean and contaminated sediments, effluent and liquid municipal waste, and selected species of amphipods will be collected by government and non-government researchers as other field research is conducted. All collections will be shipped to the Beak laboratory for analyses. Testing will involve a measurement of the contaminants in the sediments as well as measuring the degree of toxicity that th...

Monitoring ringed seals in domestic harvests at Sachs Harbour, Paulatuk and Holman, NWT, in 1993
Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Members of each of the communities will be hired to sample and measure the ringed seals taken in the spring and summer harvests. These monitors will be trained prior to the field season in order to collect data on the size and location of the harvests, as well as measurements on the seals harvested including sexual maturity, health, and condition. Samples of tissue taken will include jaws, lungs...

Productivity of Marine Mammal Food Chains in the Northwest Passage
Principal Investigator: Welch, Harold
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991 1990 1988 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will continue their marine research at Resolute. They will continue their work on the trophic dynamics of the arctic marine food chain as it pertains to marine mammal and seabird production. The main goal is to obtain data on seasonal cycles of energy flow. The team will also be examining organochlorine and heavy metal contaminants in the marine system....

Fate of Sewage-Derived Contaminants in a Shallow Sand Aquifer, Fort Resolution, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: McNaughton, Duane
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher will drill and complete some 20 observation wells in the vicinity of the Fort Resolution sewage infiltration pit. Sample groundwater and analyze it for sewage derived contaminants and coliform bacteria. A report will be prepared with recommendations based on the findings and submitted to relevant agencies in the N.W.T....

1992 Fisheries Investigations in the South Basin
Principal Investigator: Clayton, Terry
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researchers will obtain fisheries, water quality and bathymetric information on Long Lake, as well as obtaining information on the relative abundance of fish in other waterbodies of the South Basin. They will also obtain information on levels of metals in fish tissue from selected South Basin waterbodies....

Initial Aquatic Inventory, Izok Lake Mine Project
Principal Investigator: Ash, Gary R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will obtain baseline water quality data for the study waterbodies, discharge information for the major streams in the study area, baseline information on fish species composition and relative abundance in the study area, and information of background levels of metals in fish tissue from selected waterbodies in the area....

Ringed Seal Biology
Principal Investigator: Stewart, Robert E.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1990
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect data from up to 190 ringed seals harvested by Inuit hunters around Pangnirtung. Sampling is to obtain information on contaminant levels and to assess the impact these levels have on the animals. Material will also be used for a study of fetal growth. As well, the researchers will immobilize several walrus and attach satellite transmitters to their tusks....

Man's Impact on a Marine Ecosystem
Principal Investigator: Reimer, K.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The Researchers will collect sediments, algae and molluscs from the waters of Cambridge Bay. Three locations will be sampled: an area receiving drainage from the radar site, an area similarly affected by the hamlet and a reference site located away from the influence of both. Samples will be evaluated in terms of occurance, population and distribution. They will be analyzed for substances arising ...

Organic Contaminants in the Arctic Ecosystem: Utilizing the Ringed Seal (Phoca hispida) as a Biomonitor
Principal Investigator: Metcalfe, C.D.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Research will examine the variation of organochlorine contaminants (O.C.'s) in the arctic ringed seal species. Major trends in concentrations will be outlined on 4 distinct levels: 1) variation within individual seals 2) seasonal variation in one seal popultion 3) variation between seal popultaions from two distinct sites 4) long-term temporal variations at these two locations....
