Identification and assessment of critical bull trout habitat in the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Mochnacz, Neil
Licensed Year(s): 2001 2000
Summary: The proposed research intends to address bull trout management concerns in the Northwest Territories (NWT) from a habitat perspective. The project will study habitat requirements and availability for bull trout in the NWT focusing on appropriate habitat protection for oil and gas development in the region. Transportation to and from sampling sites will be provided by helicopter. Basic camping e...


Sachs Harbour Benthic Communities.
Principal Investigator: Siferd, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999
Summary: The objective of this study is to determine population size or growth rate and recruiment levels for clams and other benthic resources in Sachs Harbour, Blue Fox Harbour, and Sea Otter Harbour. Sampling for the project will be conducted from the vessel Tucho Mariner and an additional Coast Guard launch. Equipment/sampling devices for the project include an underwater camera system, QTC view sea...


Local Caribou Ethologies in the Circumpolar Arctic
Principal Investigator: Anderson, David G
Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: The method of data collection will be participant observation of hunting and processing activities at camps established within the Gwich'in Settlement Area. The camps will be established by the Gwich'in Renewable Resource Committee and will involve several generations of Gwich'in hunters: elders, adults and youth. One research assistant will participate in setting up the camp and in the day-to-day...


Cretacous and Younger Fossil Fauna from the area along the Peel River, N.W.T., Canada
Principal Investigator: Durham, J. Wyatt
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1990
Summary: The researchers will collect specimens of fossil molluscs exposed in critical areas. This involves simply breaking rocks loose from their location. No excavation deeper than 1 foot is contemplated. Localities will be marked on topographic maps and measurements of sections exposed in river banks will be made. Analysis will be completed in California. Significant specimens will be returned to t...


Investigation of the nervous and immune systems in the beluga
Principal Investigator: Romano, Tracy
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: This research will examine the nervous (i.e., brain) and immune systems of beluga by collecting these tissues from harvested animals for laboratory analyses. This study will help to determine how contaminants affect the health of belugas. In addition, the data collected may lead to a better understanding of why whales strand themselves on the shoreline as it has been suggested that beached whale...


Regional synchrony of lemming populations in the northern Yukon and Tuktoyaktuk region
Principal Investigator: Krebs, Charles
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researchers will examine the cycles in lemming abundance (i.e., increases and decreases in the lemming population) for the western arctic region. Ongoing research suggests that lemmings in the Pearce Point area do not appear to reach very high numbers as has been noted in the eastern arctic and Scandinavia. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....


Grizzly Bear Research
Principal Investigator: Clarkson, Peter
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researcher will conduct surveys to determine bear population estimates as well as sex and age distributions for the grizzly bear population in the Brock and Hornaday Rivers area. Licence issued for use of Inuvik Research Centre....


Foxe Basin Walrus Hunt Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Stephenson, Tasha
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1991
Summary: This project will involve the collection of data on the harvest of walrus in the Foxe Basin area. Measurements will be taken on the walrus harvested and tissue samples will be collected for the purpose of assessing contaminant levels in tissues. Hunters from Igloolik and Hall Beach will be trained in sampling techniques and the local Hunters' and Trappers' Associations will be contracted to carr...


Avifaunal Survey of the James Bay Islands
Principal Investigator: Tymstra, Robert
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: This long-term study documents the types of birds found on the major islands in James Bay. Sightings of mammals, amphibians and butterflies will also be recorded. Sampling methods include point counts, line transects and direct counts....


Monitoring ringed seals in domestic harvests at Sachs Harbour, Paulatuk and Holman, NWT, in 1993
Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Members of each of the communities will be hired to sample and measure the ringed seals taken in the spring and summer harvests. These monitors will be trained prior to the field season in order to collect data on the size and location of the harvests, as well as measurements on the seals harvested including sexual maturity, health, and condition. Samples of tissue taken will include jaws, lungs...
