Summary

A Regional Advisory Process was held at the Freshwater Institute in Winnipeg to assess anadromous Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) from the Rat River, Northwest Territories. The meeting was held on February 10 and 11, 2015 and included participants from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Fisheries Joint Management Committee, Gwich’in Renewable Resources Board, University of Manitoba, British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Parks Canada and harvesters from Aklavik and Fort McPherson. During the meeting, presentations were made on various topics relevant to the assessment including background information, multiple mark-recapture population estimates, biological information collected during mark-recapture, genetic mixed-stock fishery analysis, reported harvest, population modeling, and biological and catch-effort data collected from a harvest monitoring program. The meeting objectives were met and advice was provided to co-management partners, most importantly that the population was stable and the current level of harvest was sustainable. Publications from the meeting included a Science Advisory Report and Research Documents.
