Summary:
The Researcher will collect blood/hemolymph and tissues from representative Arctic marine fish, echinoderm, crustacean and mollusc species. The fish will be netted and the invertebrates dredged. Samples will be analyzed for their fatty acid composition. A sample size of 6-8 individuals will be required from each species....

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:Korczinski, Rita Licensed Year(s):
1979
Summary:
To conduct a study of the life cycle and habitat of the isopod, Mesidotea entomon (a small crustacean). The study will also include consideration of the isopod as a food source for fish. To determine the extent of isopods as a food source, fish samples will be taken for subsequent laboratory analysis....
