Recovery potential modelling of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) (Saskatchewan – Nelson rivers populations) in Alberta / Amanda L. Caskenette, Jennifer A.M. Young, and Marten A. Koops.: Fs70-5/2016-099E-PDF
"The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) has assessed the Saskatchewan – Nelson rivers populations of Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) as Threatened in Canada. Here we present population modelling in support of the recovery potential assessment of the species. Results include a sensitivity analysis, determination of allowable harm, and minimum viable population estimates to inform recovery targets for population abundance and required habitat. The analyses demonstrate that the dynamics of Bull Trout populations are particularly sensitive to perturbations that affect survival of immature individuals. Harm to these portions of the life cycle should be minimized to avoid jeopardizing the survival and future recovery of Saskatchewan – Nelson rivers populations “--Abstract, p. iv.
