1998 Summary:
For many years the Dogrib have trapped and fished in and around the Marian River. There are concerns that contaminants are entering the river system. some of the concerns include: effects on health from eating fish and effects on health from drinking water. Field collection will take place over 2 days. The team will travel by canoe from Rae. Ten fish will be caught by members of the community fro...

Summary:
The researchers will be involved in a mult-disciplined, integrated and focused series of investigation regarding water quality, hydrology and climatology, fisheries, aquatic, wildlife, vegetation, soils and terrain, and heritage resources. Taken with complementary socio-economic, traditional knowledge and environmental management investigations, this data will be used to prepare an environmental ...

Summary:
A commercial weir will be installed and operated at Gore Bay for the purpose of conducting a test commercial Arctic char fishery. All fish will be held in an holding pen until the quota (8000 lb.) is estimated to have been captured. The daily upstream migration of Arctic char will be recorded until the quota is reached. Fish will then be gutted, packed and transported to the fish processing pla...

Summary:
The researcher will visit selected locations on the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula in order to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of streams as well as to document the different types of freshwater animals found in these streams. This information will be important in assessing the fish habitats and fishery potential of the region. In addition, the information may be important in assessing ...

1992 Summary:
The researchers will be conducting surveys in the areas south and east of Coppermine in order to provide basic information about the fish species and habitat. This study is being conducted on behalf of Minnova Inc. in order to provide information in monitoring the impacts of development in the area....

Summary:
A full-span conduit weir will be used to estimate the strength (i.e., numbers) of the upstream run of arctic charr at the Kuujjua River. Fish passing through the weir will be counted and measured, and a subset of these fish will be tagged and sampled....

1992
Summary:
In response to concerns expressed by the Holman HTC regarding the size of arctic charr caught in the subsistence fishery at the Kuujjua River, a sampling/harvest monitoring program was initiated. In 1992, the sampling program will be repeated by the community and an initial sampling of Kuuk Lake charr will be conducted....

1992
Summary:
Representatives of the Paulatuk HTC have counted, measured and sampled all fish caught in the domestic fishery located at the mouth of the Hornaday River during the past several years. The project was standardized in 1990, with 1992 representing the third consecutive year of thorough monitoring of this fishery....

Summary:
A deflection board weir was used to assess the size of the upstream run of dolly varden charr at Big Fish River in 1991. Results suggested that migrant non-spawners may have been deterred by the weir. Consequently, the 1992 attempt to estimate run size used tagging methods at the Cache Creek site. The fish tagged at Cache Creek will be captured at the Fish Hole in the fall in order to produce a...

Summary:
The Big Fish River was closed to fishing activities in 1986 in accordance with recommendations by the Aklavik HTC and the Fisheries Joint Management Committee based on indications that the stock had been overfished. After a five-year recovery period, the river was opened to fishing in 1992. A quota of 700 fish (caught during the month of August) was set and all fished captured in the fishery wer...
