Principal Investigator: Green, John M.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1990 1988
Summary: As part of a long-term study, I will continue to make underwater observations of the benthic fishes found in the shallow waters of Resolute Bay. Some fish will be collected for further laboratory studies in order to examine their food habits, growth rates and population growth rates. The species Gymnelus viridis will be studied in greater detail....

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: Babaluk, John
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will tag broad whitefish in the Mackenzie River Delta in the vicinity of Horseshoe Bend. During this season, fish are moving to areas further upstream. Tagging will provide information about the movements, growth, survival and numbers of whitefish and will contribute to their management. Local residents will take part in a training program on the methods of tagging fish....

Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In 1992, most charr fishing by Aklavik residents took place at Shingle Point and the town site in Aklavik (similar to fishing during the 1987-1991 closure). In this first year of the monitoring program, information will be collected on the total number of charr caught, harvest locations and characteristics of tagged fish....

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: Davies, Stuart
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: Don MacDonell and his assistants will be capturing arctic char at two locations on the Maguse River. The fish will be measured, tagged, and released. By comparing the number of tagged fish with the number of untagged fish at the upstream capture site, they will be able to estimate the size of the char population. This information will be used by the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans to look at the ...

Principal Investigator: MacDonell, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To conduct a complete enumeration of arctic char and othr fish species using a weir in the Big Fish River, N.W.T. Biological Data will be collected and a Schaefer Population Estimate will be conducted in order to compare the two enumeration methods....

Principal Investigator: de Graff, Dirk
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To study the over-wintering areas for fish. The study will include sampling of fish, water, plant life, and bottom sediments for population assessments and habitat analysis....

Principal Investigator: Lawrence, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 1976
Summary: Eastern Arctic Pipeline Aquatic Study a) to determine physical/chemical characteristics of the sutdied waters, b) to ascertain where possible the diversity and abundance of invertebrate and benthic organisms, c) to establish species composition and abundance of fish populations, and ...
