Chairperson: K. Houston

Summary
A Meeting for the Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) of Roundnose Grenadier was held on February 11, 2010 at the Battery Hotel and Conference Centre, St. John’s, NL. The requirement for a RPA is triggered when COSEWIC recommends an aquatic species as Threatened or Endangered. The purpose of the RPA is to provide information that will a) support development of scenarios for evaluating costs of recovery, b) inform public consultations, c) inform the decision on whether or not to list a species on Schedule 1 of SARA and d) assist the Recovery Team in developing a Recovery Strategy and/or Action Plan for the species if the listing recommendation is accepted.
Participants included DFO staff from Science (NL, Maritimes, Gulf and National Capital regions), Fisheries and Aquaculture Management (NL region) and Policy and Economics (NL Region). An official of the fishing industry (FFAW) was also present. The meeting rapporteur was D.B. Atkinson.
These proceedings contain a summary of working papers, PowerPoint presentations and other documentation available during the meeting as well as summaries of the related discussions. Also included as appendices are the agenda, list of participants, research recommendations, a list of all working papers, PowerPoint presentations and other documentation made available during the meeting.
Additional information on this RPA is available in the CSAS Research Document series and the Science Advisory Report.
