2020
Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4671.
The main objectives of the field work for 2020 will be: 1) to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and 2) to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future.
In winter, water samples will be collect...

Summary:
The objective of the proposed studies to be conducted at Courageous Lake is to collect baseline data collection is planned to characterize the environmental (physical and biological) and social and economic setting in the proposed project area. Specifically, data collection is planned to characterize the following environmental components: air quality, noise, hydrology, bathymetry, hydrogeology, a...

Summary:
The primary objective of this research program is to collect baseline data on:
1) water chemistry, limnologic profiles, sediments, plankton, benthic invertebrates and aquatic habitat; and,
2) fish presence and collection of fish tissue for metal analysis.
Aquatics:
The Aquatics field program will be conducted in the spring of 2013. During the field program, the following samples will be coll...

Summary:
This licence is issued for the scientific research application #915.
The objective of this research is to provide a baseline information on the fish population and habitat in and around the Thor Lake area.
Fish samples will be examined in eleven lakes (Thor, Elbow, Long, U, Great Slave (docking site only), Fred, Cressy, A, South Tardiff, North Tardiff, Thorn, and Megan) and four streams (Fr...

2006 Summary:
This will be the second year of baseline environmental data collection, collected by Gartner Lee Ltd. on behalf of Anaconda Gold Corp. for the Damoti Gold Project. These studies will build on existing environmental data that was collected previously by various sources. The following tasks are associated with this study: fish and fish habitat assessments, hydrologic assessments and water quality as...

Summary:
The purposes of these studies are to update the environmental baseline data set for the Izok Project in preparation for submitting a project proposal for developing the orebody at Izok Lake. This study focuses on a mineral deposit in Nunavut. The project...
Principal Investigator:Morantz, David Licensed Year(s):
1996
Summary:
The techniques to be used for the assessment of the fisheries in the Lac de Gras area will include small-mesh (1.5 inch) gillnetting, trapnetting (mark-recapture program), minnow-trapping and electroshocking (backpack model for stream surveys). Most fish will be live-released. A select number of fish will be retained (killed), for aging verification (using otoliths), tissue metals concentration ...
Principal Investigator:Little, Alison Licensed Year(s):
1995
Summary:
The researchers will sample the fishes in three areas (below the rapids at Fort Smith, at the mouth of the Salt River, and in the delta) throughout the open-water season to monitor broad patterns of habitat distribution of the different species and different sizes/ ages of each species. Fish will be collected by use of multi-mesh gill nets, set lines and seines. Fish measurements, aging structu...

1994
Summary:
The researcher will determine fish presence/absence and/or densities (number of fish per unit stream length) by electrofishing representative habitat (eg. pool, riffle, run) and the setting of baited minnow traps. When these two methods are not practical (eg. depth too great or flow too fast), gillnets and/or beach seines will be used. Fish caught will be identified, measured, weighed, sexed and t...
