Technical report 0831-6481 231 "We developed a cleaning priority index (CPI) for 129 species of aquatic birds present in the St. Lawrence River system and vulnerable to the effects of an oil spill. Six criteria were considered in drawing up the index: world population size, productivity, vulnerability, local numbers, economic value and survival during rehabilitation. Each species was assessed with respect to each criterion on a semi-quantitative ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 5 (with the highest score indicating the greatest importance), and the scores were totalled to give the species CPI."--Abstract.
