Proceedings of the Central and Arctic Regional Science Advisory Process on the Recovery Potential Assessment of Black Redhorse; 7 December 2007
Chairperson: M. A. Koops
Summary
A regional science peer review meeting was held on 7 December 2007 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the review was to provide science advice on the recovery potential of Black Redhorse (Moxostoma duquesnei), following the 17-step process outlined in the Fisheries and Ocean Canada (DFO) Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) framework. In May 2006, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) designated the Black Redhorse as Threatened. The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) recommended not listing the Black Redhorse under the Species at Risk Act (SARA)Footnote 1. The RPA meeting was held to complete advice on the recovery potential of Black Redhorse to support the recovery process in the event the listing decision is re-evaluated. The advice will be provided to the DFO Minister for his consideration and for any socio-economic analyses, consultations and recovery planning related to this species. Meeting participants included DFO representatives from the Science, Fish Habitat Management and Policy sectors of the Central and Arctic Region and specialists from the University of Waterloo, Trent University, and Biotactic. 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.
