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...


Alberta-Northwest Territories Transboundary Fish Monitoring Program: Slave River
Principal Investigator: Cunada, Chris
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5149. 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...


Nechalacho Project
Principal Investigator: Drygeese, Cody RJ
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4994. The goal of this project is to document existing environmental conditions surrounding the Project area. Studies may include the following. Hydrology studies include the measurement of selected lake inflow and outflow and stream profile through field surveys, and installation of data loggers to continually monitor l...


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): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5031. The study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake which we have been studying since the early 1990s. The research team plans to collect lake trout from Great Slave Lake (Hay River area and Lutsel K’e area and also plans ...


Using Co-Produced Knowledge to Understand and Manage Subsistence Marine Harvests in a Changing Climate
Principal Investigator: Pearce, Tristan D
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4774. This research aims to document Inuit knowledge and observations of Arctic char in the context of changing climatic conditions in Ulukhaktok. The specific objectives include: to document Inuit knowledge and observations of Arctic char movement ecology and health; to co-produce knowledge among Inuit and scientists t...


Hay River Transboundary Fish Sampling
Principal Investigator: Levasseur, Annie
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4830. Residents of Alberta and NWT communities along Transboundary rivers have voiced concerns such as “are the fish safe to eat?” and “are the fish healthy?” due to the potential cumulative effects of multiple substances, habitat alteration and climate change. There is not any significant historical fish sampling relating ...


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): 2024 2020 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4818. This research will investigate whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in Great Slave Lake which the team have been studying since the early 1990s. The research team plan to work with commercial fishery and community collected lake trout from the Hay River and Lutsel K’e areas, burbot from the Lutsel K’e and F...


Estimating Aquatic Species Physiological Limits (ASPL) through a Forage Fish Monitoring and Observation (FFMO) program in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR)
Principal Investigator: Steiner, Nadja
Licensed Year(s): 2021 2019
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4758. The 3 year project objective is to conduct underwater eco-physiological monitoring in remote Inuvialuit coastal areas in both summer and winter seasons. This will result in critical benchmark data with emphasis on coastal forage fish species during rapid climate change. Another project off-shoot will be a self-suffici...


Jackfish Lake Environmental Monitoring
Principal Investigator: Machtans, Hilary
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The main objective of the Jackfish Lake Baseline Environmental Monitoring is to develop and implement a one-year environmental monitoring program to support a 2019 water licence application. Specific objectives are: 1) to determine the range of water temperatures from each of the three cooling systems; 2) to measure annual water temperature regime in Jackfish Lake and analyse any impacts of the ...
