Characterization and Analysis of Skin- and Intestine-associated Microbiomes of Fish in the Lower Northwest Passage of Nunavut, Canada (2019). Skin- and Intestine-associated Microbiomes of Arctic Fish (2019)

The Towards a Sustainable Fishery for Nunavummiut (TSFN) Project seeks to increase our understanding of the fisheries resources in the lower Northwest Passage in partnership with Nunavummiut communities. Our goal is to use genomic, demographic, physiological and microbial analysis to inform strategies to retain genetically-diverse and healthy stocks for the sustainable supply of high quality fish to Inuit communities. Genetic analysis will allow the identification of fish populations, but it is also important to assess the health of this resource. We are therefore characterizing fish with respect to their microbial consortia.
