"COSEWIC would like to acknowledge Tim Birt for writing the status report [...]. This report was overseen and edited by John Post, Co-chair of the COSEWIC Freshwater Fishes Subcommittee"--Cf. (p. ii). Includes bibliographical references (p. 21-24). "This is a small-bodied member of the sunfish family that inhabits shallow vegetated areas of warm lakes, ponds, and slowflowing rivers. Its spatial distribution is relatively small and likely patchy. It is suspected that the index of area of occupancy and abundance of the species has declined. Threats are variable across its range with some areas of declining habitat quality and other areas with improving habitat quality. Overall, the threats of siltation, contaminants, and invasive species were assessed as high. The species is likely to become Threatened unless these threats are effectively ameliorated"--Reason for designation (Ontario, Quebec), p. iii. gccst Endangered species gccst Freshwater fish gccst Nature conservation Birt, Timothy Peter, 1957- Post, John Robert, 1955- Canada.
