Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5773. This research project has two objectives: 1) determine if installing an aerator in Frame Lake, Yellowknife, NT, will increase dissolved oxygen levels in the lake such that fish can be reintroduced; 2) if objective 1 proves successful, transfer fish into Frame Lake and monitor growth and reproduction to determine if t...

Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5329. Our objectives on Great Slave Lake are to understand the current governance framework around the fishery in Great Slave Lake (GSL), its benefits, its distribution, and the historical trends; and, to identify commonalities and differences among rights holders, actors and organizations involved in the fishery. Togeth...

Principal Investigator: McLennan, Donald S
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5173. The overall objective of the proposed study is to continue to study the physical limnology of Christie Bay in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake, NWT, Canada to develop a new scientific understanding of this unique area and to support studies of the sustainability of fish populations. All lake measurements will be ma...

Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4985. The objectives of this project are to investigate impacts of permafrost slumping on water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate communities, fish communities and ecosystem function by (a) advancing research on previously studied thaw slumps within the Stony Creek Watershed and include unstudied (for biotic metrics) thaw ...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4635. The objective of this research are to conduct environmental monitoring of wildlife, vegetation, air quality, hydrology, and aquatic effects in the Snap Lake study area. The research team will collect incidental observational data of wildlife near the Snap Lake Mine. Through this project the research team will coll...

Principal Investigator: Hynes, Kristin
Licensed Year(s): 2013
Summary: The objective of this research project is to determine what species inhabit the lake and collect measurements and samples from the fish to determine age, length, weight, contaminant levels, and general condition to gain more information on population structure. Information will be reported back to the Olokhaktomiut Hunters and Trappers Committee (OHTC). Two monitors will use fishing nets and/...

Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003
Summary: Project a: essentially fifth year of research (sixth-year if associated work in 2000 is counted), and seeks to continue heretofore successful investigations into the nature, substance and long-term effects of contact between Copper Inuit and Europeans/Eurocanadians in the 19th and 20th centuries utilizing sociocultural, archaeological, and economic methodologies, b. Project seeks to initiate a col...

Principal Investigator: Schryer, Rick P.
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: Sampling of water, sediment, benthic invertebrates, fish inventories, and fish habitat mapping will be done. Water will be collected for chemical analysis, and limnology measurements taken. Sediment will be collected for chemical analysis and particle size analysis. Benthic invertebrates will be collected for taxonomic identification. Fish species, presence and relative abundance will be determine...

Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008 2007 2006
Summary: This study is designed to fill gaps in Environment Canada’s understanding of the aquatic environment potentially impacted by various aspects of the Mackenzie Gas Project (MGP). Potential stressors including: increased erosion, nutrient releases from sewage discharges, other chemical releases, water withdrawals, impacts of barge traffic, increased atmospheric emissions, etc. The focus will be on th...
