Proceedings of the National peer review of Science Guidance for Fisheries Protection Policy: Advice on Equivalent Adult Calculation; June 9-10, 2014

Chairperson: Jake Rice
Editor: Jim Kristmanson

Summary

A national science advisory process was held June 9-10, 2014 at the Canadian Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington, Ontario.  The purpose of the meeting was to examine the support and utility of options for a common metric for discussing impacts to habitat quantity and/or quality on freshwater Canadian fish (Equivalent Adult and Production Foregone) as a means of informing the Fisheries Protection Program decision-making framework.

The advisory process was conducted around a working paper and 3 presentations by DFO researchers who have been participating in a core group developing science advice to inform implementation of the Fisheries Protection Program.  A total of 13 DFO participants from 5 Regions participated in this advisory process.  These Proceedings summarise the discussions held at the meeting.  Additional publications from this meeting will be posted on the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Science Advisory Schedule as they become available.
