Proceedings of the Pacific regional peer review on the Recovery Potential Assessment – Fraser River Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) – Eleven Designatable Units; July 7-9, 2020, October 1, 2020, and March 11-12, 2021
Chairperson: Mike Bradford

Summary
These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meetings on July 7-9, 2020, October 1, 2020 and March 11-12, 2021. A working paper focusing on Elements 12 to 22 of the Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) of 11 Designatable Units (DU) of Fraser Chinook Salmon was presented for peer review.
The paper was accepted with minor revisions by most participants however, a small minority had concerns with modelling used for Elements 13 and 15; these issues were ultimately resolved. Major concerns are captured in the following proceedings.
In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, participation was completely web-based. Participants included Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science, Fisheries Management, and Ecosystems Management Branch staff; and external participants from First Nations organizations, the fishing sector, academia, and environmental non-governmental organizations.
The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report providing advice to inform the Species at Risk (SAR) program and the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) on the recovery potential of the identified eleven Designatable Units of Fraser Chinook Salmon.
The Science Advisory Report (SAR) and supporting Research Document will be made publicly available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat website.
