"The Great Canadian Baitfish Survey was an online and paper questionnaire designed to collect information about the practices of baitfish users, relevant to the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). A total of 1815 surveys were completed, of which 1625 respondents (90%) indicated they use live baitfishes at least one day per year. The survey results suggest that the use of live baitfishes for angling may be an important vector for the spread of AIS in Canadian freshwaters. Anglers commonly transported and released live bait into waterbodies other than where it was harvested. Notably, 51% and 34% of respondents indicated they release unwanted baitfish species or leftover baitfishes, respectively, into the water. The results of this survey will contribute information to a risk assessment currently being undertaken on this invasion pathway"--Abstract, page v. Includes abstracts in English and French.
