Development of Ecosystem Maintenance Indicators (EMI's) for the Peel, Liard and Slave Rivers.
Principal Investigator: MacDonald, Donald D.
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The T.E.K. component of the study will involve a series of interviews with residents in the Liard River basin. These interviews will be conducted by an interviewer who is competent in English and Slavey. The interviews will be recorded on audio tape and transcribed later onto the questionaire and maps. The communities will be provided with copies of all raw and summarized information....


Environmental Studies of the Aquatic Resources of Spyder Lake.
Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researcher will determine fish presence/absence and/or densities (number of fish per unit stream length) by electrofishing representative habitat (eg. pool, riffle, run) and the setting of baited minnow traps. When these two methods are not practical (eg. depth too great or flow too fast), gillnets and/or beach seines will be used. Fish caught will be identified, measured, weighed, sexed and t...


Habitat Utilization and Fish Community Structure in the Snare River.
Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: In this study fish presence/absence and/or densities will be obtained by electrofishing representative habitat and the setting of baited minnow traps. When these two methods are not practical gill nets, trap nets, and/or beach seines will be employed. Each fish caught will be identified, measured, sexed and condition will be noted. Ten specimens of each species from each site (up to 10) will be...


Environmental Studies of the Aquatic Resources in the Lac de Gras Area.
Principal Investigator: Pelletier, Clem
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: In project area streams, fish presence/absence and/or densities will be obtained by electrofishing representative habitat. Benthic invertebrates ans periphyton (stream algae) will be sampled at stream sites to determine seasonal changes in composition, distribution and abundance. Lake fisheries population studies will involve fish trapping. Lake limnology, plankton and benthic invertebrates wil...


Environmental Studies of the Aquatic Resources in the Prairie Creek Area.
Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: In project area creeks & streams, fish presence/absence and/ or densities will be obtained by electrofishing representative habitat & the setting of baited minnow traps. Each fish caught will be identified, measured, weighed & sexed, & condition will be noted. Furthermore, in order to assess background tissue metal levels, ten specimens of each species must be sacrificed in order to obtain the req...


Environmental Study of the Aquatic Resources of the Thonokeid Lake Area
Principal Investigator: Couture, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1994 1993
Summary: Rescan Environmental Services Ltd. will continue their study on the types of fish and other aquatic organisms found in the Thonokeid Lake area. Data on species type as well as their age, abundance and habitat will be collected. In addition, muscle and liver tissue of fish will be collected in order to assess for the presence of heavy metal contaminants. This study will be summarized in an envir...


Western Arctic area stream inventory and assessment
Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1993
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 ...


Site Instrumentation at the Langley Drill Site
Principal Investigator: Webb, R.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The purpose of this research is to place automated instruments to measure the wind, temperature, water levels and wave height and frequency at or near a planned drill site for Shell Canada. These instruments will be installed and monitored during our visit to the site and then the instruments will be left to collect data until they are picked up on September 15, 1993. Bird movements and their ha...


Fisheries surveys in the Izok and Itchen Lakes and Napaaktoktok River areas.
Principal Investigator: Ash, Gary R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 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....


Wildlife Key Habitat Mapping Project in the northern Richardson Mountains area
Principal Investigator: Staniforth, Jennifer
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Effective wildlife management requires knowing the location, distribution and number of habitats that are important to wildlife. Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), there is some information on the habitat requirements of several species but descriptions of these habitats and information about how these habitats are important to wildlife are not documented. This study, supported by th...
