Spatial Ecology of Arctic Grayling in the Parsnip Core Area: Year 4

This multi-year project investigates the spatial ecology of subadult and adult Arctic grayling and their interactions with bull trout in the Parsnip River and its tributaries.

Acoustic telemetry, capture-recapture, temperature data logging, stable isotope analysis, and spatial modelling approaches will be used to address the objectives.
