Book excerpt: These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Regional Peer Review meeting of February 11-12, 2015, at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, B.C. One working paper was presented for peer review on identifying Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) in the Offshore Pacific Bioregion. In-person and web-based participation included Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff from the Science Sector and Oceans Management plus external participants from First Nations, academia, Environment Canada, consultants, and non-governmental organizations. As part of Canada's commitment to identifying and protecting Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) within its territorial waters, an assessment of habitat features in the Offshore Pacific Bioregion was completed and reviewed. Six areas or features (hydrothermal vents, seamounts, the continental slope, abyssal/bathypelagic waters, and two pelagic/surface features) were assessed against eight EBSA criteria established by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Five EBSAs were identified by consensus based on the review of the working paper and associated EBSA criteria scores. The conclusions and advice resulting from this review will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "DFO has developed guidance for the identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs), and has endorsed the scientific criteria used by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) for identifying EBSAs. EBSAs in the Pacific Northern Shelf Bioregion (NSB) were identified in 2006 and peer reviewed in 2012. DFO Oceans Sector of the Ecosystems Management Branch has requested DFO Science to review previously identified EBSAs in the NSB using available biological data. The information arising from this Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Regional Peer Review can be used to support the refinement of existing EBSA boundaries, and help to inform MPA network planning in the NSB, including the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area Plan"--Context, p.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever-increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues, especially global climate change and its impacts, creates a demand for authoritative refereed reviews summarizing and synthesizing the results of both historical and recent research. This Volume celebrates 60 years of OMBAR, over which time it has been an essential reference for research workers and students in all fields of marine science. The peer-reviewed contributions in Volume 60 are available to read Open Access via this webpage and on OAPEN. If you are interested in submitting a review for consideration for publication in OMBAR, please email the Editor-in-Chief, Stephen Hawkins ([email protected]) for Volume 61. For Volume 62 onwards, please email the new co-Editors in Chief, Dr Peter Todd ([email protected]) and Dr Bayden Russell ([email protected]). Volume 60 features an editorial on the UN Decade of Ocean Science and goes on to consider such diverse topics as Cenozoic tropical marine biodiversity, blue carbon ecosystems in Sri Lanka, marine litter and microplastics in the Western Indian Ocean, and the ecology and conservation status of the family Syngnathidae in southern and western Africa. This volume also contains a retrospective Prologue on the evolution of OMBAR and pays tribute to one of its early Editors in Chief, Margaret Barnes, by providing an update on her review in OMBAR of the stalked barnacle Pollicipes. Supplementary online videos as well as additional Tables and Appendices are available on the Support Tab of the book's Routledge webpage. An international Editorial Board ensures global relevance and expert peer review, with editors from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Singapore and the UK. The series volumes find a place in the libraries of not only marine laboratories and oceanographic institutes, but also universities worldwide.
Download or read book Marine Conservation Ecology written by John Roff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major textbook provides a broad coverage of the ecological foundations of marine conservation, including the rationale, importance and practicalities of various approaches to marine conservation and management. The scope of the book encompasses an understanding of the elements of marine biodiversity - from global to local levels - threats to marine biodiversity, and the structure and function of marine environments as related to conservation issues. The authors describe the potential approaches, initiatives and various options for conservation, from the genetic to the species, community and ecosystem levels in marine environments. They explore methods for identifying the units of conservation, and the development of defensible frameworks for marine conservation. They describe planning of ecologically integrated conservation strategies, including decision-making on size, boundaries, numbers and connectivity of protected area networks. The book also addresses relationships between fisheries and biodiversity, novel methods for conservation planning in the coastal zone and the evaluation of conservation initiatives.
Download or read book Synopsis of the Parasites of Fishes of Canada written by T. E. McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information on the parasites of Canadian fishes published between the years 1978 and 1993, inclusive, is assembled as Parasite-Host and Host-Parasite lists. The 925 named species of parasites are reported on 292 species of Canadian fishes. The Parasite-Host list is organized on a taxonomic basis and identifies for each species its habitat (freshwater, marine, or brackish), site of occurence in its host(s), species host(s), known geographic distribution within Canadian waters, and the published source for each host and localty record. The Host-Parasite list is organized according to the taxonomy of the hosts and is accompanied by data on the known Canadian distribution of the parasites. For both the Parasite-Host and Host-Parasite lists, a "Remarks" section containing explanatory comments concerning systematics, nomenclature, and notes on other specific items is included as warranted. In addition to listing the cited references, as supplentary list of references is included to cover other Canadian literature on fish parasites.

Download or read book A Little Less Arctic written by Steven H. Ferguson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Arctic Canada, Hudson Bay is a site of great exploration history, aboriginal culture, and a vast marine wilderness supporting large populations of marine mammals and birds. These include some of the most iconic Arctic animals like beluga, narwhal, bowhead whales, and polar bears. Due to the challenges of conducting field research in this region, some of the mysteries of where these animals move, and how they are able to survive in such seemingly inhospitable, ice-choked habitats are just now being unlocked. For example, are polar bears being replaced by killer whales? This new information could not be more salient, as the Hudson Bay Region is undergoing rapid environmental change due to global warming, as well as increased pressures from industrial development interests. A Little Less Arctic brings together some of the world’s leading Arctic scientists to present the current state of knowledge on the physical and biological characteristics of Hudson Bay.

Download or read book Marine Biodiversity Conservation written by Keith Hiscock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective marine biodiversity conservation is dependent upon a clear scientific rationale for practical interventions. This book is intended to provide knowledge and tools for marine conservation practitioners and to identify issues and mechanisms for upper-level undergraduate and Masters students. It also provides sound guidance for marine biology field course work and professionals. The main focus is on benthic species living on or in the seabed and immediately above, rather than on commercial fisheries or highly mobile vertebrates. Such species, including algae and invertebrates, are fundamental to a stable and sustainable marine ecosystem. The book is a practical guide based on a clear exposition of the principles of marine ecology and species biology to demonstrate how marine conservation issues and mechanisms have been tackled worldwide and especially the criteria, structures and decision trees that practitioners and managers will find useful. Well illustrated with conceptual diagrams and flow charts, the book includes case study examples from both temperate and tropical marine environments.
