This email from Lisa Geist to Richard Jackson is a response to questions around the testing of fish in the Suqitugnhneq River. The email states that Appendix C of the draf Risk Assessment Workplan (October 2001) contains a trip report on the fish data collection effort and contains the following: the size of the fish collected, where they were collected, and the methods used to collect them.
