By J.D. Neilson
Abstract
Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) has been identified as a candidate species by COSEWIC (Committee of the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada). To facilitate the preparation of the COSEWIC Status Report, recent information sources are identified, including both published and unpublished sources. The information is organized by subject area, including life history characteristics, population structure (referred to as “designatable units” by COSEWIC), and status including abundance and geographic extent.
