Amended recovery strategy for the western silvery minnow (Hybognathus argyritis), in Canada .: En3-4/41-2016E-PDF

“In June 2003 when the Species at Risk Act (SARA) came into force, the Western Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus argyritis) was officially listed on Schedule 1 of SARA as “Threatened”, requiring the completion of a recovery strategy within four years. While the Canadian distribution and abundance of the Western Silvery Minnow have remained relatively stable since the species was first identified in the Milk River, the species continues to be at risk due to its extremely limited range in Canada. Consequently, the goal and objectives of the recovery strategy are directed towards the protection and maintenance of the existing population in its current range rather than population recovery and habitat restoration. The recovery strategy describes the species and its needs, incorporates a threats assessment, and outlines a broad recovery approach for the Western Silvery Minnow based on the available information. The recovery strategy goal is: “To protect and maintain a self-sustaining population of Western Silvery Minnow within its current range in the Milk River””--Executive summary, p. iii.
