A pre-COSEWIC assessment of the Common Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus, Linnaeus 1758) in Canadian Atlantic and Arctic waters / M.R. Simpson ... [et al.].: Fs70-5/2016-068E-PDF
"The Common Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus, Linnaeus 1758) has been scheduled for assessment in November 2017 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA). The primary purpose of this paper is to provide COSEWIC with current knowledge of the biology, abundance, distribution, and life history of the Common Lumpfish in Canadian Atlantic and Arctic waters for use in its evaluation of risk of extinction for this species. In addition, habitat and residence requirements were assessed through analyses of the relationship between research survey catches and water depth/bottom temperature. This document also reviews available information on threats and limiting factors which may impact this species, as well as current management measures." - Abstract - p.iv.
