Evaluating Spawning Aggregation Management as a Strategy for Conserving Bonefish (Albula Vulpes) in Cuba
(2021-12)Animals that congregate in large numbers to reproduce in spatially and temporally distinct locations are susceptible to overexploitation. Many fishes form spawning aggregations that are intentionally targeted given high ... -
Evaluating the current aquatic invasive species (AIS) treatment methods and exploring different restoration tools that could aid in ecosystem recovery in freshwater ecosystems of Nova Scotia
(2023-05-30)Invasive fish species in Atlantic Canada present threats to freshwater ecosystems by outcompeting and predating native organisms, resulting in a biodiversity shift. This could also lead to social impacts, especially for ... -
Evaluating the effects of North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) fishery closures on entanglement risk of other large whales from the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery
(2023-12)Since 2018, time-area closures have been implemented in Atlantic Canada to reduce entanglements of North Atlantic right whales (NARW) in fixed-gear fisheries, particularly the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GoSL) snow crab fishery. ... -
Evaluating the Historic Change in Per Capita Nominal Consumption of Animal Products in Canada Over the Past 60 to 100 years
(2022-03)Since the early 1960s, the global anthropogenic food systems have become incredibly resource intensive and have caused a global increase in greenhouse gas emissions, freshwater scarcity, land cover conversion, and biodiversity ... -
Evaluating the integration of cumulative effects in the management of Canada’s marine conservation areas
(2019-12)One of the most prevalent threats to the persistence of coastal and marine ecosystems is the cumulative effects of human and natural stressors. Marine conservation areas can help mitigate and manage for cumulative effects; ... -
