| Summary | Northern lakes and the land surrounding them are warming, leading to increasing water temperatures, shoreline permafrost thaw and changes in water quality. This study looked at how these changes will affect fish and what they eat, such as bugs (macroinvertebrates) and waterfleas (zooplankton). |
| Local Relevance | This study looks at how increasing water temperatures and permafrost thaw will affect fish and what they eat in the Gwich'in Settlement Area and Inuvialuit Settlement Region of the NWT. |
