Summary
This CSAS meeting was called by DFO Habitat Policy and Habitat Management to seek Science guidance and advice on a standardized approach to assessing In-stream Flow Needs (IFN) for fish and fish habitat in Canada. The Canadian Rivers Institute of the University of New Brunswick produced a research document which serve as scientific input for this meeting. Science reviewed and clarified various definitions and terminologies commonly used in IFN methods/assessments. Science reviewed and compared various IFN methodologies, including the benefits and assumptions of each, and situations under which they are most appropriate and for which management purposes they were designed. Science also provided technical recommendations towards the standard(ized) assessment of IFN for the management of fish and fish habitat in the Canada.
