Proceedings of the regional peer review of the pre-COSEWIC assessment for Black Redhorse (Moxostoma duquesnei); 12 November 2013
Chairperson: Lynn Bouvier
Editor: Lynn Bouvier
Summary
A regional Science peer-review meeting was held on 12 November 2013 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the revised population modelling of Black Redhorse (Moxostoma duquesni). The new modelling would be incorporated into a species re-assessment by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).
The Research Document provided by Science will provide population modelling in support of the upcoming reassessment of the species, and incorporate new Canadian data collected since the previous assessment in 2005. Results include a sensitivity analysis and determination of recovery targets for population abundance and required habitat.
Meeting participants included experts from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and an independent contractor. This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the peer-review meeting and presents revisions to be made to the associated research document.
This report will be published in the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Proceedings Series on the CSAS website. The working paper presented at the workshop will be published in the form of a CSAS Research Document.
