520 |a"Long-term monitoring data do not exist for this species, although it appears that the populations in Point Pelee and Rondeau Bay are stable. The level of natural reproduction in Long Point Bay is unknown, but likely very low, because juveniles were not detected during targeted sampling in 2014. Population genetic data also suggest that the Long Point population is a sink and is sustained by immigrants from other Lake Erie sites. Population genetic data indicate that there are several distinct populations of Spotted Gar within the Canadian range, with low levels of inferred gene flow between them. Due to its isolation and small size, the Point Pelee population appears to be a source of novel genetic diversity that is exported through asymmetrical gene flow to the other Lake Erie populations. Ongoing threats to this species in Canada include the proliferation of the invasive European Common Reed (Phragmites australis australis) and the loss of wetland habitat through human activities. A federal recovery strategy has been completed (Staton et al. 2012) that summarizes these threats and research needs to facilitate recovery of the Spotted Gar”--Preface (p. xi).
