Recovery potential assessment for lower Fraser River white sturgeon 2020.: Fs70-6/2021-011E-PDF
"In 2003, White Sturgeon within the lower Fraser River were identified as one of six Nationally Significant Populations (NSP) of White Sturgeon in Canada (COSEWIC 2003). As a whole, the six NSPs were assessed as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), however the Lower Fraser River White Sturgeon population was not subsequently listed under the Species At Risk Act (SARA). Following the Endangered status by COSEWIC, a White Sturgeon Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) (Wood et al. 2007) and the White Sturgeon Recovery Strategy (DFO 2014a) were published. Subsequent to the 2003 COSEWIC assessment of White Sturgeon, COSEWIC replaced the NSP terminology with “Designatable Units” (DU). In 2012, COSEWIC assessed the Lower Fraser River White Sturgeon DU as Threatened. In support of the SARA listing process following the 2012 COSEWIC assessment, a subsequent Lower Fraser River White Sturgeon RPA was initiated in 2015 but not finalized. Because no final RPA was published, this new RPA was developed. This Science Advisory Report is from the September 22-24, 2020 regional peer review on Recovery Potential Assessment – White Sturgeon, Lower Fraser Designatable Unit"--Context, page [1].
