Multimodel assessment of population production and recommendations for sustainable harvest levels of anadromous Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), from the Hornaday River, Northwest Territories / Xinhua...: Fs70-5/2016-116E-PDF

“Arctic Char from the Hornaday River are an important subsistence resource for residents of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories. A commercial fishery operated concurrently with the subsistence harvest between 1968 and 1986 and was not opened since 1987 due to diminishing catches and reduced size of fish. Data from the Hornaday Char Monitoring Program collected between 1990 and 2013 in addition to data collected from periodic sampling from previous fisheries were used to; characterize population production parameters such as growth and natural mortality; standardize catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE), and; assess the population using three different models in order to determine stock status and determine maximum sustainable yield”--Abstract, p. iv.
