Published purpose

The Waterloo University researchers aim to continue their collaboration with the Kugluktuk Hunters and Trappers Organization in implementing a telemetry study through the deployment of both acoustic and radio tags to track fish migrations in the Coppermine River. Besides increasing the knowledge of fish movements, spawning and/or overwintering locations, the results will enable the Kugluktuk Hunters and Trappers Organization and environment officers (Government of Nunavut) to advance community-based management of the fishery for char and provide a better understanding of climate and environmental stressors impact on Arctic Char and Dolly Varden.
