Summary: The purpose of the study is to create a data base that will allow for informed decisions to direct the appropriate environmental responses to road issues and community fish management and harvest issues. This program will also provide a knowledge base to the Inuvialuit that will allow for the wise and sustainable long term management of fish resources in the study area. This program will involv...

Summary: The objectives of the assessment are to: • characterize the fish habitat around the shoreline and nearshore areas of the artificial islands; and • assess current use and suitability of these areas for use by fish species likely present in the Mackenzie River at Norman Wells. The surveys will be based out of Imperial’s Norman Wells Operations and will be centered on the artificial islands the...

Summary: Diavik Diamond Mine requires construction of a system of water retention dikes in Lac de Gras to facilitate open-pit mining under dry conditions. The water retention dikes will result in a loss of fish habitat within the footprint of each dike. Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. (DDMI) has received authorization to construct the dikes in Lac de Gras. As a condition of the project’s authorization, Diavik pl...

Summary: As part of the 2003 Baker Creek Environmental Monitoring Program, Dillon Consulting Limited will conduct fish habitat assessments at Baker Creek, Yellowknife. Benthic invertebrates will be sampled at each of 8 sampling sites using multi-plate artificial...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: This study serves to identify existing habitat characteristics of the identified portion of Baker Creek, identify resident fish communities at the time of sampling, and to identify potential rehabilitation and restoration concepts to assist in the re-establishment of historic fish habitat conditions. Field studies will involve the identification of fish habitat characteristics, the identification ...

Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will be utilizing the following techniques for assessing aquatic biota and fish habitat utilization: gillnetting (various sizes and meshes), trapnetting (mark-recapture program), minnow-trapping and electroshocking (backpack model). A select number of fish will also be retained for aging (using otoliths), tissue metals concentration and diet analysis....
