Proceedings of the Recovery Potential Assessment of Silver Shiner (Notropis photogenis) in Canada; 24-25 September 2012
Chairpersons: L. Bouvier and N. Mandrak
Summary
A regional science peer-review meeting was held on 24-25 September 2012 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the recovery potential of Silver Shiner (Notropis photogenis) based on the 27 steps outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) national Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) frameworks. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has designated Silver Shiner as Threatened (May 2011). It is currently listed on Schedule 3 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) as Special Concern. The Science Advisory Report resulting from the assessment will provide the information and scientific advice required for the Department to meet various requirements of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) for this species including listing decisions, authorizations to carry out activities that would otherwise violate the SARA and development of recovery strategies. Meeting participants included experts from DFO, Halton Region Conservation Authority, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the peer-review meeting and presents revisions to be made to the associated research documents. The Science Advisory Report and the supporting Research Documents, resulting from this advisory meeting, are published on the DFO Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Website.
