Action plan for the Atlantic whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) in Canada . : CW69-21/25-2016E-PDF

"The Atlantic Whitefish, Coregonus huntsmani, is globally unique and therefore a significant component of Canada’s biodiversity. The species was historically found in only two watersheds in southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada: the Tusket River in Yarmouth County and the Petite Rivière in Lunenburg County. Currently the only wild self-sustaining population of Atlantic Whitefish exists largely restricted within three small, interconnected, semi-natural lakes in the upper Petite Rivière drainage area. This action plan addresses the species’ entire global distribution with the intent of implementing the overall recovery goal of the recovery strategy, which is to: "Achieve stability in the current population of Atlantic Whitefish in Nova Scotia, re-establishment of the anadromous form, and expansion beyond its current range""--Executive summary, p. iv.
