From rivers to sea and well-being: Iqaluppik community-based research to support sustainable fisheries in the changing Ungava Bay

EF 2025-26 · 2025-05-20

Résumé
This project will tackle concerns and priorities of Nunavimmiut (Inuit of Nunavik) in regards to sea-run Arctic Char. They will study key aspects of Arctic Char ecology under multiple, interacting pressures through community-based monitoring and research. Bringing together Inuit Knowledge, social sciences, and cutting-edge biological methods including telemetry, otolith microchemistry, nutritional biomarkers (carotenoids, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids), and climatic data to answer the concerns around Arctic Char migratory patterns, habitat use, marine diet, quality, and resilience that are important to address for local management. Further establishing a community-based monitoring system across the three communities.

Description (French)
Ce projet abordera les préoccupations et les priorités des Nunavimmiuts (Inuits du Nunavik) en ce qui concerne l’omble chevalier de mer. Ils étudieront les aspects clés de l’écologie de l’omble chevalier sous des pressions multiples et interdépendantes grâce à la surveillance et à la recherche communautaires. Rassembler les connaissances des Inuits, les sciences sociales et des méthodes biologiques de pointe, y compris la télémétrie, la microchimie des otolithes, les biomarqueurs nutritionnels (caroténoïdes, acides gras polyinsaturés oméga-3) et les données climatiques pour répondre aux préoccupations concernant les habitudes migratoires de l’omble chevalier, utilisation de l’habitat, régime alimentaire marin, qualité et résilience qui sont importants à aborder pour la gestion locale. Poursuivre l’établissement d’un système de surveillance communautaire dans les trois collectivités.
