Proceedings of the regional Science Advisory Process on the Recovery Potential Assessment of Northern Madtom; March 19, 2012

Chairperson: N. Mandrak
Editor: B. McCulloch

Summary

A regional science peer-review meeting was held via teleconference/WebEx on 19 March 2012. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the recovery potential of Northern Madtom (Noturus stigmosus) based on the 27 steps outlined in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) framework. Northern Madtom was added to Schedule I of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) when it was proclaimed in June 2003. The resulting RPA Science Advisory Report provides the information and scientific advice required for the Department to meet various requirements of SARA for this species including permitting and development of recovery strategies. Meeting participants included DFO (Central and Arctic Region), Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, a specialist from University of Windsor, and the senior author of the 2012 update Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) status report for Northern Madtom.

This proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the peer-review meeting and presents revisions to be made to the associated research documents. The Science Advisory Report and the supporting Research Documents, resulting from this advisory meeting, are published on the DFO Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Website.
