Summary
A Regional Advisory Process was held at the Freshwater Institute in Winnipeg March 18, 2013 to assess Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus) from the Sylvia Grinnell River, Nunavut. The meeting included participants from Fisheries and Oceans Canada Science, and Resource Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Amaruq Hunters and Trappers Association. During the meeting, presentations were made on the data collected between 2009 and 2011 used to estimate abundance based on a mark-recapture study, to describe the current biological characteristics of the stock, to estimate the total harvest and to evaluate harvest levels by fishing method. Insufficient data were available to estimate the stock abundance, current exploitation rate, harvest level, or to evaluate the impact that snagging Arctic Char has on the stock abundance. This Proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions.
