Summary
A regional science peer-review meeting was held from 30-31 October 2012 in Burlington, Ontario. The objective of this meeting was to peer review existing information held by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) relevant to the COSEWIC status assessment for Shortjaw Cisco (Coregonus zenithicus) in Canadian waters, particularly with reference to data related to the status and trends of, and threats to, this species inside and outside of Canadian waters, and the strengths and limitations of the information. This information will be available to COSEWIC, the authors of the species’ status report, and the co-chairs of the applicable COSEWIC Species Specialist Subcommittee. Meeting participants included experts from DFO, Université Laval, Great Lakes Fishery Commission, and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
This Proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the meeting and presents revisions to be made to the working papers. It is available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website. The working papers reviewed at the meeting and the advice from the meeting will be published as Research Documents and an Advisory Report on the CSAS website once finalized.
