Proceedings of the national peer review of science advice on marine productivity benchmarks : March 28-30, 2017, Ottawa, Ontario / chairperson, Mike Bradford ... [et al.].: Fs70-4/2017-041E-PDF

"These proceedings summarize the relevant presentations and discussions of the national science advisory meeting held on March 28-30, 2017 at the Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario. The conclusions and advice resulting from this meeting will be provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report that will be made publicly available on the CSAS website. Meeting participants included experts from various sectors and regions of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as external participants from Canadian Healthy Oceans Network (CHONe), University of Quebec, and Cape Breton University. The purpose of this meeting was to assess the feasibility of determining benchmarks of fish productivity in marine ecosystems, including relevant methodologies and spatial units of variability. Once developed, regional productivity benchmarks are anticipated to be used to provide estimates for understanding impact assessments and facilitate the estimation of targets of potential gains in productivity expected from offsetting. Two working papers were distributed to the participants and reviewers. The first paper examined regional benchmarks of fish productivity in nearshore marine ecosystems was reviewed at the meeting for publication as a Research Document. The second paper, on fish production metrics from a nursery area in the marine coastal zone of Newfoundland, was presented to facilitate discussions at the meeting and participants were asked to provide written feedback afterwards for consideration as a Research Document”--Summary, p. iv.
