Threats for Mackenzie Delta Fish - W. Garfield Weston Fellow Alyssa Murdoch's Research

Alyssa Murdoch, York University (PhD Candidate), is examining the effects of multiple stressors (e.g., climate change, land use change, water quality) on northern fish populations. Her study area is in the Mackenzie Delta of NWT, where Canada’s first all-season highway to the Arctic Ocean was recently opened (the Inuvik-Tuk Highway). For her research, Alyssa will be collecting aquatic baseline information for 60 lakes along the pre-existing Dempster Highway as well as along the new Inuvik-Tuk Highway. Her work aims to investigate how cold-adapted Mackenzie Delta fishes are responding to multiple stressors including climate change, road development, and potential water quality effects.
