Principal Investigator: Tallman, Ross F
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will work with other scientists to examine the broad whitefish of the Mackenzie River and associated tributaries of the Arctic Red and Peel Rivers. Features such as population size, migration, growth, age of sexual maturity and mortality will be examined. A study of the traditional knowledge of broad whitefish and fishing in the Mackenzie River will also be developed. Training i...

Principal Investigator: Chang-Kue, Ken T.J.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The field work of this project will involve attaching radio tags or transmitters on 20 broad whitefish at a location approximately 40 km from the mouth of the Arctic Red River. The movements of these whitefish from September to the following June can then be monitored to determine their migration routes, spawning areas and overwintering areas. Data from the radio transmitters is collected by a s...

Principal Investigator: Read, Carol
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and her team will build a conduct fish weir and trap across the Tugaat River in order to enumerate and sample the upstream run of Arctic char into the Tugaat River. They will enumerate all fish passing upstream; tag 3000-5000 fish with anchor tags; dead sample a size range of 100 to 200 fish, and live sample 2000 to 3000 fish....

Principal Investigator: Bond, W.A.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990 1989
Summary: Since 1989 the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have conducted trap netting studies to monitor fish movements in Wood Bay near the mouth of the Anderson River. This is the last year of this study. They will examine the movements of the Arctic cisco within Liverpool Bay....

Principal Investigator: McLeod, Curtis
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: 1. To identify and map major fall spawning areas between Mountain Rapids, Alberta and the Slave River Delta, NWT. 2. To monitor fish movements and tracking during the late summer and fall seasons. 3. To quantify late summer and fall fishery resource use. This is a continuation of work done in 1983....

Principal Investigator: Tripp, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: To collect baseline data on all species of fish and fish habitat. The work willinclude tagging of fish to study the migration patterns....

Principal Investigator: Jasper, J.N.
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To conduct snow melt and run-off analysis to determine appropriate highway bridge and culvert design and to determine their effects on fish migration....

Principal Investigator: Pulen, V.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: Site specific surveys for determining relative abundance of fish populations and assessing as a migration route....

Principal Investigator: Jasper, J.N.
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: To measure peak flows to determine designs for proposed culvert and bridge sites along the Mackenzie Highway and to assess Environmental conditions (erosion, etc.) at stream crossings before and after construction and to determine their effects on fish migration....
