Northern Fish
There is a commercial fishery for this species in Nain
What is Arctic char?
Kelp beds, rocky bottoms, cliffs, and eelgrass can provide fish with this important benefit from predators and waves.
What is shelter/cover/protection?
Similar to stories and time spent on the water/land, scientific data is a form of this.
What is knowledge?
This device is attached to or inserted in a fish to understand movement and behaviour.
What is a tag?
This deep-dwelling, slow-moving Arctic animal is known for living a very long time.
What is a Greenland Shark?
Arctic char must travel through this type of inland habitat to complete its life cycle.
What is freshwater or rivers?
Rocks, salt, oxygen, temperature belong to this habitat category, while kelp, sponges, and coral belong to this one.
What is abiotic and biotic?
Science is a way of knowing, and always starts with this important step.
What is asking a question?
This technique is used to examine the genetic material collected in the water to understand which species may inhabit those waters.
What is environmental DNA?
When one animal eats another animal, they are part of this feeding relationship.
What is a food web?
This species can be caught in shallow saltwater bays in the spring, or underneath a wharf in the fall
What is Greenland Cod?
This habitat forms where fresh water from rivers mixes with salt water from the ocean.
What is an estuary?
This science step is followed to ensure that information is gathered in a measurable, repeatable fashion to answer a defined question.
What is methods?
Satellite tags
An area with many types of plants and animals has high this.
What is biodiversity?
Compared to Arctic char, this species is bottom-dwelling and can be considered relatively lazy.
What is Greenland cod?
Fish are ectotherms, this important and fast-changing environmental factor decides where fish can thrive
What is temperature?
Looking for repeated patterns in detections, temperatures, camera sightings, or other evidence helps scientists draw this from the data.
What is conclusions or inference?
This technique is used to attract and observe mobile species underwater.
What is the baited camera?
High biodiversity ensures that the ecosystem is this.
What is productive or functional, healthy?
Wild Arctic char can have pale or deep red flesh depending mostly on differences in this.
What is diet?
Arctic char and Atlantic salmon overlap in Nunatsiavut waters. This directional shift might happen as waters continue to warm.
What is North?
In research, observations from Inuit harvesters and community members can help scientists ask better questions and better understand this.
This form of underwater fish tracking relies on sound frequencies to obtain detections.
What is acoustic telemetry?
These structures are comprised of groups of small animals, can live for hundreds to thousands of years, and provide habitat for many different species.
What are corals?
