Fisheries and Aquatic Life Baseline Study Update, Koala Watershed, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, December 1995)
BHP Diamonds Inc. submitted a 1995 baseline study update on fisheries and aquatic life in the Koala watershed for the proposed Ekati Diamond Mine project. The report presents results of sampling periphyton, benthic invertebrates, zooplankton, and fish populations from four long-term monitoring lakes (Vulture, Kodiak, Nema, and Slipper) and associated streams to establish baseline environmental conditions against which future mining impacts will be measured.
