Summary: The objectives of this research project are to determine what fish species are present in the Arctic Red River Headwaters (AARH), and what areas in the Arctic Red River Headwaters are important fish habitats. The intent is to use varying fisheries assessment techniques (angling, electofishing and gillnetting) to assess various suitable habitats in the ARRH for the presence of fish. Sites will b...

Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The objective of the project is to identify the fish species present, gather population data on surveyed fish species, assess fish habitat characteristics, and identify benthic invertebrate species present in waterbodies in the area of Husky’s proposed exploration activity. Five streams and nine lakes are proposed to be assessed. Backpack electrofishing and fyke nets will be used to assess the ...

Summary: The ArcticNet marine-based research program is carried out from the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen. The multi-year sampling program is developed around 3 main research components: 1) a meteorology, ocean & sea ice component; 2) a marine resources and environment component; and 3) a geology/bathymetry component. 1) Meteorology, ocean & sea ice component The general objective of thi...

Summary: The objectives of this project are to: - Conduct a fish and fish habitat assessment upstream and downstream of the proposed Project Site (2nd rapids on Snowdrift River). This would involve vegetation assessment, depth and velocity transects and fish sampling. - Conduct fish and fish habitat assessments in the Snowdrift River tributaries at the proposed road crossings between Lutsel K’e communi...

Summary: The Bosworth Creek Project was initiated when the Sahtu Renewable Resources Board received a request for information on fish stocks in the creek by a local resident. It became apparent early on in the project that reliable baseline data on this creek's aquatic community was incomplete. Recent restoration efforts have presented a unique opportunity for training local youth in scientific sampling te...

Summary: The Travaillant Lake system is one of the most culturally and traditionally important areas within the Gwich'in Settlement Area (GSA). In recent years, in light of proposed industrial development and exploration that may threaten the aquatic environment within this system, Travaillant Lake has become a focus of fisheries-related studies that have attempted to collect information on biological char...

Summary: This work is being done to assist with the development of a future aquatic effects monitoring program for the mine that will meet the terms of the recently promulgated federal Metal Mining Effluent Regulations. The survey data will be provided in support...

Principal Investigator: Johnstone, Robin
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The proposed field program is designed to provide site-specific information on stream crossings, for planned improvements to the Mackenzie Valley winter road route. Researchers will travel to the crossing sites by helicopter from the closest community. At each crossing location, habitat assessments, water quality samples and fish census techniques (outlined in the DFO fisheries research permit) m...

Principal Investigator: Machtans, Hillary
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect information about a variety of ecosystems contained by or in close proximity to the potential well sites for a proposed natural gas development. Fisheries and water quality studies will involve a survey of fish habitat, and of the water quality of any water bodies in the proposed development area. Any fish collection will be outlined by Department of Fisher...
