Summary:
The main goal is to understand the spatial distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton species in lakes around the Yellowknife area and provide environmental context to the ongoing paleolimnological (reconstructing the environmental histories of lakes) investigations.
This year, the research team aim to collect phytoplankton and zooplankton from a suite of lakes around Yellowknife following ...

The objective of this study is to determine any seasonal variation in water quality, zooplankton & phytoplankton biomass and taxonomy, benthic invertebrate analysis and sediment chemistry, and will also include dust monitoring.
Transportation will be by boat, snow machine, and helicopter. Samples will be taken for water chemistry, phosphorous & nitrogen, sediment, benthic invertebrates, zoopla...

Summary:
The research team will be transported to Long Lake by aircraft, and will travel by truck on the mine site. Sample collection will be carried out using a motorized boat. Water and phytoplankton samples will be collected using a 10 L Go-Flo water sampler. Zooplankton samples will be collected using a zooplankton net. There are three taxa of freshwater zooplankton that may be collected from Long ...

1990 Summary:
The Researcher will continue to study the distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Barrow Strait area. The herbivourous plankton species which feed on the marine algae and phytoplankton is the first step in the arctic food chain. It is the herbivorous plankton which is the source of food for other animals which ultimately provides food for all other higher arctic animals....
