"In its second assessment of Winter Skate (Leucoraja ocellata Mitchill 1815) in Canadian waters, conducted in April 2015, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) re-assessed the species as three populations or Designatable Units (DU): the Gulf of St. Lawrence population (GSL; endangered), the Eastern Scotian Shelf and Newfoundland population (ESSN; endangered), and the Western Scotian Shelf population (not at risk). This Science Advisory Report is from the January 19 to 21, 2016 science peer review meeting of the Recovery Potential Assessment of Winter Skate in eastern Canada. Participants at the review included personnel from DFO (Gulf, Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Quebec Regions) Ecosystems and Science Branch, Fisheries and Aquaculture Management, Species at Risk, Policy and Economics, and invited experts from the US National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA) and University of New England (USA)"--Context, p.
