Includes bibliographical references (pages 12-13). "In November 2016, COSEWIC assessed Pygmy Whitefish (Prosopium coulterii), Great Lakes – Upper St. Lawrence populations (DU5) as Threatened. The reason given for this designation was that “this small-bodied freshwater fish has experienced dramatic declines in abundance over the last several decades, with an overall estimated decline of 48% since 2000. The continued presence of invasive fishes and recovery of native predatory fishes may threaten or limit recovery, respectively.” The Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) process has been developed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to provide information and scientific advice needed to fulfill requirements of the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA), including the development of recovery strategies and authorizations to carry out activities that would otherwise violate SARA (DFO 2007)"--Context, page [1].
