Recovery potential assessment for the Little Quarry Lake stickleback species pair (Gasterosteus aculeatus) .: Fs70-7/2018-006E-PDF

"The Little Quarry Lake benthic and limnetic Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations were designated Threatened by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) in 2015 based on their status as unique Canadian endemic stickleback populations confined to a single small lake in southwestern British Columbia. In support of listing recommendations for the Little Quarry Lake stickleback species pair DFO Science has been asked to undertake a Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA), based on the national RPA Guidance. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process in February 2017 on the Recovery Potential Assessment – Little Quarry Lake Benthic and Limnetic Stickleback”--Context, p. [1], 2.
