Summary: This licence is issued for the scientific research application # 829. The objective of this research is to research baseline information regarding fish habitat around the hydroelectric development in Whati. . The planned fish and fish habitat assessment will identify available spawning and rearing habitats of northern pike and round whitefish, the previously identified indicator species, withi...

Summary: The aim of the proposed fieldwork is to characterize baseline and post-baseline conditions in the lakes and streams near mining activity. Anticipating future development, baseline data will be collected in Lac du Sauvage. The tenth year of post-baseline data will be collected in the Koala Watershed, the ninth year of monitoring the fish populations of the Panda Diversion Channel (PDC), and the sev...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2005
Summary: The objective of this study is to collect fish habitat data at stream crossings of the Prairie Creek Winter access road alignment. The information will support documentation requirements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans relating to the Fisheries Act, as well as the potential need for a Fisheries Authorization for the re-establishment of the Winter Access Road to proceed in the 2005-2006 ...

Principal Investigator: O'Neil, Jim
Licensed Year(s): 2003
Summary: A fisheries/habitat assessment has been commissioned due to concerns that the proposed Deh Cho Bridge construction and operation could affect aquatic habitat and fish populations in the Mackenzie River in the vicinity of Fort Providence. This study will...

Summary: This project is to meet the requirements of the Fish Habitat Compensation Agreement between BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc. and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The purpose of the project is to monitor the effectiveness of created fish habitat within t...

Principal Investigator: Metikosh, Serge
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team proposes to collect information about fish habitat features and use on 111 watercourse crossings along the tentative pipeline corridor in the Gwich'in Settlement Area. The amount of work to be completed at each watercourse crossing will be determined during the reconnaissance level survey and will largely be driven by their size and flow characteristics. Smaller watercourses (t...

Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: Transportation to and from sampling sites will be provided by helicopter. Basic camping equipment will be set up for a few days in each sampling location for sleeping and eating during sampling. All fish captured will be tagged with colored tags (floy tags) and some (2-5) with radio-tags to identify fish movement and locate spawning sites. Fish will only be sampled to collect information on dis...

Principal Investigator: Moore, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: Fish will be collected and released live using seining and electro-fishing techniques. Data collection will also include flow monitoring. All assessments will be completed on watercourses within the Misery Road, Sable Lake Road and Fox Lake Road developments within the mine site. BHP will provide support staff which will include people hired locally....

Principal Investigator: Lawson, Nick
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The objectives of the research team are to collect baseline environmental information on the DeBeers Canada Exploration Ltd. project at Kennady Lake, to assist with the current environmental management of the property and prepare for an assessment of the environmental effects of potential future development of the site. Three field visits to Kennady Lake will be completed during the summer of 200...

Summary: If future feasibility studies determine that a mine should be developed for access to the diamondiferous kimberlite underlying Gahcho KuÚ, the lake will be dyked and partially drained as has been the case at other diamond properties in the NWT. As such, the Fisheries Act requires compensation for lost fish productivity and lost habitat. To determine the amount of compensation DeBeers Canada...
