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.

  • Call Numbers for Salmonidae
    CALL NUMBERS FOR SALMONIDAE Use this chart for the special breakdown of QL638.S2. The names in boldface represent authorized Library of Congress subject headings. Works on ciscoes, salmon, trout, and whitefish using these common names but covering species within one genus will be classed under the specific genus. Made-up example: Title: Guide to trouts. Subjects: Cutthroat (Oncorhynchus clarkii), rainbow trout (O. mykiss), and Apache trout (O. apache). Class under: Oncorhynchus (.S25) Works on ciscoes, salmon, trout, and whitefish covering species which belong to more than one genus but which fall collectively under one of these common names will be classed under the Cutter for the common name. Made-up example: Title: Guide to trouts. Subjects: Cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). Class under: “trout” (.S216) The fishes are arranged by scientific (Latin) nomenclature. Only the most current standard scientific (Latin) name is given. Obsolete and debated scientific names are numerous. Adjustments to taxonomical classification are not uncommon, including reclassification to a different genus. The previous or alternative versions of common (vernacular) names are shown. Be aware that some market names (those used commercially) are scientifically incorrect. For brevity, this table excludes some species and races, particularly under Coregonus and Salvelinus.

  • The Sustainability of Freshwater Species and Water Resources Development Policy of the Army Corps of Engineers
    April 2009 The Sustainability of Freshwater Species and Water Resources Development Policy of the Army Corps of Engineers 09-R-9 U.S. Army Institute for Water Resources The Institute for Water Resources (IWR) is a Corps of Engineers Field Operating Activity located within the Washington DC National Capital Region (NCR), in Alexandria, Virginia and with satellite centers in New Orleans, LA and Davis, CA. IWR was created in 1969 to analyze and anticipate changing water resources management conditions, and to develop planning methods and analytical tools to address economic, social, institutional, and environmental needs in water resources planning and policy. Since its inception, IWR has been a leader in the development of strategies and tools for planning and executing the Corps water resources planning and water management programs. IWR strives to improve the performance of the Corps water resources program by examining water resources problems and offering practical solutions through a wide variety of technology transfer mechanisms. In addition to hosting and leading Corps participation in national forums, these include the production of white papers, reports, workshops, training courses, guidance and manuals of practice; the development of new planning, socio-economic, and risk-based decision-support methodologies, improved hydrologic engineering methods and software tools; and the management of national waterborne commerce statistics and other Civil Works information systems. IWR serves as the Corps expertise center for integrated water resources planning and management; hydrologic engineering; collaborative planning and environmental conflict resolution; and waterborne commerce data and marine transportation systems. The Institute’s Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), located in Davis, CA specializes in the development, documentation, training, and application of hydrologic engineering and hydrologic models.

October 1957 ABSTRACT The present article is a revision and expansion of my earlier paper: 25 years of Federal Fishery Research on the Great Lakes. Spec. Sci. Rep.: Fish. No. 85, 1952. Two circumstances made a revision desirable at this time. First, publications since 1952 have added greatly to the literature based on Federal studies on the Great Lakes. Second, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, established by treaty with Canada, was organized in Ottowa in April 1956 and held its first annual meeting in Ann Arbor in November 1956. The entry of the Commission on the scene marKs the start of an era of further expansion
