20001999 Summary:
The proposed research project will involve extensive photography, habitat mapping and inventory at Pigeon Creek, and measurement of young-of-the-year grayling in July and August in the channel, Polar-Vulture, Pand-Polar and Pigeon Creeks. Growth data will be used to determine the environmental health of the stream(s) studied. Approximately 100 young-of-the-year grayling will be collected per str...

Summary:
This program is a detailed assessment of the created/enhanced habitat at Frank Channel, based on fish use and function in comparison with habitat design targets. Habitat monitoring will require seasonal assessments within the open water period at times associated with the targeted fish's life stages (Northern Pike). During early spring, mid summer and late summer, Frank Channel habitat will be m...

Summary:
The objectives of this project are to: 1. determine the presence of fishes in selected waterbodies on the BHP Diamonds claim block, 2. determine the extent of utilization of streams by fishes as migration routes, and 3. inventory the quantity and quality of fish habitat in waterbodies supporting fishes. The potential species involved in this monitoring program are Arctic grayling, burbot, lake tr...

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 ...

1990 Summary:
The research is planned to see what happens after the surface of the land was changed by clearing of the trees and trenching of the soil in 1985 and 1986 and the spilling of crude-oil in 1988. Ways to fix or lessen these disturbances will be tested to see which are best. Many studies will be done including measurement of air and soil temperatures, wind speed, moisture, water movement, permafrost, ...
