Proceedings of the regional recovery potential assessment (RPA) of bull trout, Salvelinus confluentus, (Saskatchewan-Nelson rivers populations) : June 4–5, 2014 and June 15, 2016, Winnipeg, MB and WebEx...: Fs70-4/2016-046E-PDF

"A regional Recovery Potential Assessment (RPA) for Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) was held over two meetings, June 4–5, 2014 and June 15, 2016, in Winnipeg, Manitoba and via teleconference/WebEx. The purpose of the RPA was to assess the recovery potential of Bull Trout populations in the Saskatchewan-Nelson rivers based on the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) National RPA frameworks. In November 2012, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) designated Bull Trout in the Saskatchewan-Nelson rivers populations as Threatened. Although the species is not currently listed under the Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA), it is classified as Threatened under Alberta’s Wildlife Act. The Science Advisory Report resulting from this RPA will provide the information and scientific advice to inform the SARA listing decision. If listed, this scientific advice will also be needed to fulfill SARA requirements, including the development of a recovery strategy, and to support decision-making with regards to SARA agreements and permits"--Summary, p. v.
