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 (2024-2025)
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5906. Short-term goals are to determine if burbot contaminant concentrations: • Are above or below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). Annual data will be provided to NWT Health and Social Services for evaluation; • Are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. stable isotope ratio data (15N, 1...

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...
