Science advice on regional productivity benchmarks .: Fs70-6/2016-053E-PDF

"The feasibility of developing regional community and population productivity benchmarks was evaluated through an analysis of standing stock biomass estimated from habitats of wadeable streams in five southern areas of Canada. In general, the development of regional community and population productivity benchmarks was considered appropriate and feasible. Benchmarks may be used in a variety of ways during the FPP assessment process including evaluating the potential impacts to fisheries productivity of a proposed project and informing any equivalency analysis that may be required to ensure any lost productivity is counterbalanced by the offsetting plan. Regional benchmarks of productivity may be particularly important for assessments under data-deficient situations but they should not be used in isolation when other data sources exist"--Conclusions and Advice, p. 9.
