Proceedings of the regional peer review for developing scientific advice on the design of a comprehensive long-term monitoring program for Redside Dace (Clinostomus elongatus) to inform recovery and management decisions; February 4, 2020
Chairperson: David Andrews

Summary
A regional science peer-review meeting was held on February 4, 2020 in Burlington, Ontario. The purpose of the meeting was to provide scientific advice on the design of a comprehensive long-term monitoring program for Redside Dace (Clinostomus elongatus) to inform recovery and management decisions. Participants included DFO Science, Species at Risk, and Fish and Fish Habitat Protection programs, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF), conservation authorities, and experts from universities in Canada.
The federal recovery strategy for Redside Dace outlines the development of a monitoring program to quantify the population abundance and distribution of this endangered species in Canada. In order to help achieve this, the identification of potential monitoring objectives and related assessment variables such as the choice of appropriate sample units, suitable gears, and sampling effort required to attain a given level of statistical power were presented for discussion.
This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the meeting and presents recommended revisions to be made to the associated research document. The Proceedings, Science Advisory Report and Research Documents resulting from this science advisory meeting are published on the DFO Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
