Its freshwater reserves are among the most extensive in the world. The Canadian fresh and salt waters are cold, and the aquatic life which they support include more than 150 species of fish and shellfish. The history of Canada's fishing industry parallels the history of human settlement in North America and, with the establishment of the 200 mile exclusive fisheries zone in 1977, Canada has become one of the pre-eminent fish exporting nations in the world. Canada is justifiably proud of its reputation as a top fishing nation, and constant efforts are made through programs of the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the individual initiatives of fishermen, processors and distributors to ensure that the high intrinsic quality of Canadian fish and seafood products is maintained from the water to the table. This publication is composed of three separate books, giving information on fish species and products commercially available from Canada's Atlantic, Pacific and freshwater fisheries regions. Further information about processors, exporters and brokers, as well as additional information on available species and products may be obtained by writing to the Marketing Services Branch, Marketing Directorate, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ottawa, Canada, K lA OE6.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • Creating a Sense of Place
    VOLUME 25, ISSUE 4 JUL/AUG 2002 Creating a Sense of Place By David Salmon, High Country Gardens While native plants have always had a small but devoted following, both the general gardening public and mainstream horticulture have overlooked our native flora for years. Why is this so? Perhaps because familiarity breeds contempt, and people equate the plants they see growing naturally in the fields and roadsides with "weeds". Perhaps it stems from our infatuation with the English garden--borrowing heavily from English plant lists has resulted in their overshadowing our own native species. Whatever the reason for their omission, the past decade has seen an explosion of interest in native plants. As growers respond to this renewed interest by improving growing techniques and offering a larger variety of natives from all parts of the United States, these once-forgotten beauties are beginning to find their rightful home in our gar- dens and landscapes. We should start by examining the term "native" more closely. For many purists, "native" is defined as any plant found growing naturally within an arbitrary dis- tance of their home. Others would consider "native" JUL/AUG 2002 plants to be any plant found growing naturally within their state. But narrow definitions are limiting. Because plants don't read maps, decisions as to "native" or "non-native" Creating a Sense of Place based on these criteria can be artificial. I like to define "native" as any plant growing in North America. The Utah Heritage Gardens Come of Age Now that we have gotten the "is it native?" deci- sion out of the way, we can move on to more important Plant Profile: Globemallow information.

    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.
