2011 Summary:
The objective of the project is to study the health of the fish in the Slave River and at the Slave River Delta. A number of different fish species will be collected to study metals, organic contaminants, gene expression and histology.
The study focuses on the potential stresses that fish in the region are exposed to, by analyzing gene expression (Ribonucleic acid – RNA), metals, and organic co...

2007 Summary:
The EEM will investigate the cause of differences in fish health that were observed in fish from an area exposed to mine effluent (Jackfish Bay) when compared to fish not exposed to mine effluent (Horseshoe Island Bay). Data will be examined to see what environmental factors are causing the observed effects.
Fish Program:
A small-bodied fish survey will be conducted within one exposure ar...

Summary:
The researcher will collect fish for analyses of contaminant body burdens. The sample size for each species will be 10-15 of each sex at each sampling site. Fish will be collected using set lines set in the evening and fished overnight. Blood samples will be taken from live fish and then tissues will be sampled and sent to labs for analyses. Gut contents will be examined and the fish will be aged....
