"This report documents the progress of Recovery Strategy implementation for the Paxton Lake, Enos Lake, and Vananda Creek Stickleback Species Pairs. It summarizes progress that Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and other interested parties have made towards achieving the goal and objectives set out in the Recovery Strategy, including: conducting new research and monitoring activities (including advancing studies to support the identification of critical habitat); and completing management activities that help Canadians reduce impacts on, and better understand threats to, the Paxton Lake, Enos Lake, and Vananda Creek Stickleback Species Pairs"--Executive summary.

This book, published in two volumes, provides the most comprehensive review of lamprey biology since Hardisty and Potter’s “The Biology of Lampreys” published more than 30 years ago. This second volume offers a synthesis of topics related to the lamprey gonad (e.g., lamprey sex ratios, sex determination and sex differentiation, sexual maturation, and sex steroids), the artifical propagation of lampreys, post-metamorphic feeding and the evolution of alternative feeding and migratory types, the history and status of sea lamprey control in the Laurentian Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, and an overview of contributions of lamprey developmental studies for understanding vertebrate evolution.

Recovery Strategy Report Series Report on the Progress of Recovery Strategy Implementation for the Atlantic Whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) in Canada for the Period 2007-2012 Atlantic Whitefish 2016 Report on the Progress of Recovery Strategy Implementation for the Atlantic Whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) in Canada for the Period 2007-2012 2016 Recommended citation: Fisheries and Oceans Canada. [...] Recovery Strategy Progress Report for the Atlantic Whitefish 2016 Preface Section 46 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) requires the competent Minister to report on the implementation of the recovery strategy for a species at risk, and on the progress towards meeting its objectives within five years of the date when the recovery strategy was placed on the SAR Public Registry. [...] The accomplishment of a number of scientific achievements, management activities undertaken, and the initiation of a number of recovery efforts have assisted in progress towards ensuring that the Recovery Strategy goal is achieved and will require the continued implementation of additional actions, which have been identified and prioritized in the Action Plan for the species. [...] Key to recovery success is adopting an adaptive management approach and ensuring the timely implementation of the measures required for recovery (as identified in the Action Plan) which will require the continued commitment and cooperation of the AWCRT and other partners including the potential establishment of new partnership arrangements, careful consideration and management of both financial an [...] The Schedule of Studies in the Recovery Strategy accordingly outlines the research activities required to refine the current description of critical habitat within the Petite lakes to support its protection and to identify any additional habitat areas required for the species subsequent recovery, such that all required critical habitat is eventually identified to fully achieve the population and d.

The book provides the most comprehensive review of lamprey biology since Hardisty and Potter’s five-volume “The Biology of Lampreys” published more than 30 years ago. Published in two volumes, it includes contributions from international lamprey experts, reviewing and providing new insights into the evolution, general biology, and management of lampreys worldwide. This first volume offers up-to-date chapters on the systematics, general biology, conservation status, and conservation needs of lampreys. It will serve as an important reference for researchers working on any aspect of lamprey biology and fishery managers whose mandate is to control or conserve lamprey populations.
