Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs) including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT (2024-2025)
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5906. Short-term goals are to determine if burbot contaminant concentrations: • Are above or below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). Annual data will be provided to NWT Health and Social Services for evaluation; • Are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. stable isotope ratio data (15N, 1...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022 2017 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5350. The purpose of this study is to continue to investigate whether contaminant (mercury, other metals, persistent organic contaminants) levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake. The research team plan to arrange collections of lake trout from the Hay River area and Lutsel ...


Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs), including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5111. The short-term goals are to determine if 2020, 2021 and 2022 burbot contaminant concentrations: a) remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish). The research team will provide annual data to NWT Heath and Social Services for evaluation; b) are associated with dietary indicators, i.e. sta...


Spatial and long-term trends in persistent organic contaminants and metals in fish from the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5031. The study is continuing to investigate whether contaminant levels are changing in fish in the Northwest Territories with a focus on Great Slave Lake which we have been studying since the early 1990s. The research team plans to collect lake trout from Great Slave Lake (Hay River area and Lutsel K’e area and also plans ...


Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs), including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The short-term goals are to determine if 2019 burbot contaminant concentrations: 1) remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish); 2) are associated with dietary indicators to determine the influence of diet (via stable isotope ratios) on contaminant concentrations in current fish, although previous results suggested no association; and, 3) as well as to look for link...


Temporal trend studies of trace metals and halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs), including new and emerging persistent compounds, in Mackenzie River burbot, Fort Good Hope, NWT
Principal Investigator: Stern, Gary
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The short-term goals are to determine if 2018 burbot contaminant concentrations: 1) remain below Health Canada guidelines (i.e. <0.5 ppm mercury per gram fish); and 2) are associated with dietary indicators to determine the influence of diet (via stable isotope ratios) on contaminant concentrations in current fish, although previous results suggested no association (Carrie et al. 2010); as well as...
