Coastal ecology survey of Sachs Harbour, NT / Darcy G. McNicholl, Kevin Gully, and Karen M. Dunmall.: Fs97-6/3325E-PDF
"The purpose of the coastal ecological survey of Sachs Harbour was to collect baseline information on coastal fish biodiversity and life history, and characterize fish habitat. The survey was conducted for two weeks in July 2018 in the Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories area (71°98'51"N, 125°24'65"W) with the support of the local Hunters and Trappers Committee and the assistance of a community-based technician. Environmental data (i.e., depth, temperature, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and pH) were collected throughout the harbour and, where possible, information on benthic and pelagic invertebrates was collected for future analysis. The fishes that were collected were identified to species level and were processed for basic biological data (i.e., length, sex, maturity). They were also sub-sampled for aging and for tissues to be used in future studies. Environmental results in this study indicate that deep (> 20 m), hypoxic areas exist in Sachs Harbour while nearshore areas (< 10 m) appear to be most utilized by coastal fishes"--Abstract, page vi.
