Pre-COSEWIC review of the Sakinaw sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) population 2014 .: Fs70-7/2015-020E-PDF

The Sakinaw Lake population of Sockeye Salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, was designated as endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) in an emergency listing in 2002 (COSEWIC 2003). Their status was reviewed and confirmed in 2003, with an emergency reassessment in 2006. Though designated endangered by COSEWIC, this population was not listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). COSEWIC is currently (2015) re-assessing the status of Sakinaw Sockeye. When an aquatic species is assessed, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is a primary data holder, it is common practice to provide corporately held data in the form of a pre-COSEWIC review. The purpose of this Regional Science Response Process (RSRP) is to review available DFO information relevant to the COSEWIC criterion to assess the status of Sakinaw Sockeye.
