Book Proceedings of a Workshop on a Decision Support Tool for Stocking of Atlantic Whitefish

Download or read book Proceedings of a Workshop on a Decision Support Tool for Stocking of Atlantic Whitefish written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlantic whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) are indigenous to Nova Scotia but are confined to a single watershed, the Petite Riviere near Bridgewater. The species is listed as endangered, and a recovery plan has an objective of introducing captive reared Atlantic whitefish to another water body in order to lower the risk of species extinction. This report presents proceedings of a workshop held to investigate the best approach & information requirements needed to develop a decision support framework to guide the selection of new habitats for the recovery of the Atlantic whitefish. Topics of presentations include a proposal for whitefish stocking, the fish transfer & introduction process, tools for environmental decision making, and the requirements of a decision support tool. The appendix includes a copy of the National Code on Introductions & Transfers of Aquatic Organisms.

Book Supplementation Options to Aid Recovery of the Endangered Atlantic Whitefish  Coregonus Huntsmani

Download or read book Supplementation Options to Aid Recovery of the Endangered Atlantic Whitefish Coregonus Huntsmani written by Rodney Gailand Bradford and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recent unauthorized introductions of non-native piscivorous fishes into endangered Atlantic whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) habitat have elevated concern for the prospects for their survival and eventual recovery. Range extension could reduce dependency for species survival on the continued viability of the localized population that exists in the three small semi-natural lakes within the Petite Rivière that define the global distribution of Atlantic whitefish. The likelihood is low that range extension will occur from natural colonization of new habitat. Supplementation, or stocking, fish within the natural historic range of Atlantic whitefish may be required to increase the abundance of the naturally reproducing populations. There is presently minimal documentation, specific to Atlantic whitefish, available to support the development of supplementation activities, or to guide release strategies. This report reviews the challenges that the current status of Atlantic whitefish present to the design and implementation of supplementation activities enacted to aid either survival or recovery. A frame work is proposed to help select stocking methods, stocking locations, and the choice of the stocking target as either enhancement of the existing population, or development of anadromous populations and/or additional freshwater-resident populations. Supplementation actions designed to restore anadromy to the extant Petite Rivière population may currently offer the greatest conservation benefit to Atlantic whitefish"--Abstract, p. v.

Book Amended Recovery Strategy for the Atlantic Whitefish  Coregonus Huntsmani  in Canada

Download or read book Amended Recovery Strategy for the Atlantic Whitefish Coregonus Huntsmani in Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Atlantic Whitefish, Coregonus huntsmani, is an endemic Canadian species historically known to occur only in the Tusket River and Petite Rivière watersheds in southwestern Nova Scotia. The species is the sole and founding representative of a unique lineage of Whitefish in North America; it is therefore an important component of Canadian biodiversity. As a result of the species' reduced distribution and presumed low abundance, the Atlantic Whitefish was assessed as 'Endangered' by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) in 1984; a designation which means the species is at imminent risk of extinction. This 'Endangered' status was re-confirmed by COSEWIC in 2000 and 2010. This amended recovery strategy restates the overall goal and broad strategies that continue to be relevant and realistic to protect and recover Atlantic Whitefish. The overall goal of the recovery strategy is to: "Achieve stability in the current population of Atlantic Whitefish in Nova Scotia, reestablishment of the anadromous form, and expansion beyond its current range.""--Executive summary, p. vii, viii.

Book Action Plan for the Atlantic Whitefish  Coregonus Huntsmani  in Canada

Download or read book Action Plan for the Atlantic Whitefish Coregonus Huntsmani in Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Atlantic Whitefish, Coregonus huntsmani, is globally unique and therefore a significant component of Canada's biodiversity. The species was historically found in only two watersheds in southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada: the Tusket River in Yarmouth County and the Petite Rivière in Lunenburg County. Currently the only wild self-sustaining population of Atlantic Whitefish exists largely restricted within three small, interconnected, semi-natural lakes in the upper Petite Rivière drainage area. This action plan addresses the species' entire global distribution with the intent of implementing the overall recovery goal of the recovery strategy, which is to: "Achieve stability in the current population of Atlantic Whitefish in Nova Scotia, re-establishment of the anadromous form, and expansion beyond its current range""--Executive summary, p. iv.

Download or read book Running Silver written by John Waldman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That one could “walk drishod on the backs” of schools of salmon, shad, and other fishes moving up Atlantic coast rivers was a not uncommon kind of description of their migratory runs during early Colonial times. Accounts tell of awe-inspiring numbers of spawners pushing their way upriver, the waters “running silver,” to complete life cycles that once replenished critical marine fisheries along the Eastern Seaboard. This is a hugely important, fascinating, and unique look at the fish of North America whose history and life-cycles and conservation challenges are poorly understood. Despite these primordial abundances, over the centuries these stocks were so stressed that virtually all are now severely depressed, with many biologically or commercially extinct and some simply forgotten. Running Silver will tell the story of the past, present and future of these sea-river fish. This important book will elevate public consciousness of the contrasts between the historical and the present to show the enormous legacy that has already been lost and to help inspire efforts to save what remains. Drawing on the author's thirty-year career as a scientist and educator with a passion for the native river fish of the North East, Running Silver tells the story of these endangered fish with a mix of research, historical accounts, anecdotes, personal experience, interviews, and images.
