Proceedings of the Central and Arctic Regional Science Advisory Process on the Recovery Potential Assessment of Redside Dace; 14 December 2007
Chairperson: N. E. Mandrak
Editor: K. A. Martin
Summary
A regional science peer review meeting was held on 14 December, 2007 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the review was to provide science advice on the recovery potential of Redside Dace (Clinostomus elongatus) including the 17-step process outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) framework. The advice was intended to feed the recovery process, under Canada’s Species at Risk Act (SARA), for Redside Dace, which had been designated as Endangered by the Csommittee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). The advice will be provided to the DFO Minister for his consideration in any listing decision under the SARA for this population and for any socio-economic analyses, consultations and recovery planning related to this population. Meeting participants included DFO Science, Fish Habitat Management and Policy sectors of the Central and Arctic Region, and specialists from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Royal Ontario Museum, Trent University, University of Toronto, and Lake Simcoe, Halton, and Central Lake Ontario conservation authorities. This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions and presents the key conclusions reached at the peer-review meeting.
This report will be published in the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Proceedings Series. A CSAS Research Document was produced from the working papers presented at the workshop. The advice from the meeting will be published as a Science Advisory Report.
