A Study of the Movements of Arctic Grayling, Lake Trout & Longnose Sucker between Kodiak Lake and Lac de Gras, NWT (DFO, 2001)
A radio-tagging study conducted between June and September 2001 documenting the movements and migration of Arctic grayling, lake trout, and longnose sucker through the Koala watershed between Kodiak Lake and Lac de Gras, including assessment of fish passage around BHP's mining diversion channel. The study demonstrates that these fish species are capable of moving freely through the interconnected lake and stream system.
