Aklavik Loche Harvest Monitoring Project
Principal Investigator: Campbell, Kiyo
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5750. The Aklavik Hunters and Trappers Committee (AHTC) and Fisheries Joint Management Committee (FJMC) are working together to conduct burbot monitoring work including contaminants testing. The project aims to answer four main questions: • Has loche health and liver condition changed since the 2007 GRRB loche monitoring ...


What is the impact of metal contamination from mining activities in the Yellowknife area on northern pike (Esox lucius) and H. azteca populations?
Principal Investigator: Rosabal, Maikel
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 55584. Considering the results obtained in our previous studies on fish and invertebrates, our main goal is to generate a specific knowledge about the implications of metals bioaccumulated observed in the population of northern pike and invertebrates (H. azteca) inhabiting ecosystems located in this mining region. Our spec...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2017 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5669. This research study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant (mercury, other metals, persistent organic contaminants) levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake, which the research team has been studying since the early 1990s. The team plans to arrange collection...


Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs) including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5414. The short-term goals are to determine if burbot contaminant concentrations: 1) Remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). The research will provide annual data to NWT Health and Social Services for evaluation; 2) Are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. stable isotope ratio data (...


Diavik Aquatics Effects Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Boa-Antwi, Kofi
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5416. To revisit fixed sample stations at near-field, mid-field and far-field sites over the course of the year in an effort to determine any seasonal variation that may exist and confirm Environmental Assessment (EA) impact predictions. The AEMP Version 5.2 will consist of the following components: traditional ecologica...


Alberta-Northwest Territories Transboundary Fish Monitoring Program: Slave River
Principal Investigator: Cunada, Christopher
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5339. The objectives of this project are to collect additional samples for fish health and fish contaminant levels, and to track their status over time to assess ecosystem health and provide an indication of change or stress in the environment. The research team will be sampling the same species of fish that were investi...


Further Examination of the Bio- Magnification of Mercury within Fish Species and watersheds of the Deh Cho and Their Varying Levels Among Lakes
Principal Investigator: Low, Mike
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2021 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5348. The objectives of this research project are: 1) to determine why fish mercury levels vary among lakes in the Dehcho region; 2) to identify best predictors of fish mercury levels; 3) to determine with fish have the lowest levels of mercury and the highest levels of nutrients; and, 4) to collect data on parameters that ...


Biochemical and metabolomic impact of trace metals (As, Sb, Cd, Ag, La, Ce) in various fish species and amphipods collected from the metal-impacted Yellowknife area
Principal Investigator: Rosabal, Maikel
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5278. The main goal is to generate a specific knowledge about the implications of metals bioaccumulated observed in the population of three species of fish (e.g., northern pike, lake whitefish, yellow perch) and invertebrates (H. azteca) inhabiting ecosystems located in this mining region. The specific objectives are: 1) to...


Contaminants (PAHs, mercury) in the Mackenzie River and fish health assessments: implementation of classic and new molecular screening tools for environmental monitoring and stressor assessment
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5333. This study will determine the concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in small-bodied fish in the Norman Wells/Imperial area near nature oil seeps and industrial activities with comparisons to be made with upstream (Tulita area) and downstream (Fort Good Hope) areas. The research team will also asses...
