Summary: The main objective of the program is to collect fisheries and environmental baseline information to better understand the environmental characteristics of the Great Bear River and to support potential future development of hydropower on the Great Bear River. The program is not being conducted to support a specific project as there are no hydropower projects planned for the Great Bear River at thi...

Summary: WorleyParsons, on behalf of Imperial Oil, began a benthic invertebrate and fisheries assessment program for the portions of Bosworth Creek adjacent to the Imperial Oil operations in Norman Wells, NWT. The objective of the project is to characterize biophysical conditions in Bosworth Creek in the area surrounding the lower Bosworth Creek Bridge; both upstream and downstream from the location of a f...

Summary: The fisheries portion of this baseline program has three primary objectives: to identify the fish species composition in a subset of the lakes and streams near the Thor Lake project area, to identify existing fish habitat in those lakes and streams, and to measure the current levels of mercury, rare earth elements and other trace elements in fish tissues. A secondary objective of the program is to...

Summary: This study is designed to find out whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories. We hope to collect lake trout from Great Slave Lake (Lutsel K'e and Hay River), Cli Lake, Great Bear Lake, and Colville Lake, burbot from Great Slave Lake (Fort Resolution and Lutsel K'e), northern pike from Great Slave Lake (Fort Resolution), and cisco from Great Bear Lake. Communit...

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...

Licensed Year(s): 2009
Summary: The objectives of this project are to characterize the habitats and shorelines of the streams that would be crossed by the Tuktoyaktuk to Source 177 all-weather road. The impact area will be recorded and referenced with Global Positioning System (GPS) locations. The information will be transferred to a Geographic Information System (GIS) to complete a habitat map for the area. The Hamlet of T...

Licensed Year(s): 2009 2008
Summary: The objective of the first portion of the research is to identify, measure, and characterize lake trout and northern pike spawning habitat in Nonacho Lake and to confirm the presence of lake trout and northern pike juveniles and adults in potential spawning areas. Bathymetric surveys will be conducted at these sites in order to determine the areal extent of habitat loss, and the quality of habit...

Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: This licence was issued for the application no. 802. The objective of the 2008 fieldwork is to monitor vegetation, invertebrates, and fish populations associated with lakeshore and stream habitat restoration and enhancement. Data will be used to evaluate the continuing success and effectiveness of restored or enhanced stream and lakeshore habitats against control sites, through time. Field ...
