Information in support of a recovery potential assessment of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Athabasca River populations) / Chantelle D. Sawatzky.: Fs70-5/2018-022E-PDF

“In May 2014, a meeting of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) recommended that Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, (Athabasca River populations) be designated Endangered. The Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) provides information and scientific advice needed to fulfill various requirements of the SARA, including informing both scientific and socioeconomic elements of the listing decision and permitting activities that would otherwise violate SARA prohibitions, and the development of recovery strategies. This Research Document describes the current state of knowledge of the biology, ecology, distribution, population trends, habitat requirements and threats to Rainbow Trout (Athabasca River populations). Mitigation measures and alternative activities related to identified threats, which can be used to protect the species, are also presented”--Abstract, p. ix.
