Fisheries and Aquatic Life Baseline Study Update, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 1995)
This 1995 baseline fisheries and aquatic life study documents environmental conditions in the Koala watershed near the proposed Ekati Diamond Mine, establishing baseline data for long-term monitoring of four designated lakes (Vulture, Kodiak, Nema, Slipper) and associated streams. The report presents results of sampling periphyton, larval drift, benthic invertebrates, zooplankton, and fisheries data collected to assess potential mining impacts on aquatic habitat and biota.
