The attributes of each threat are important for understanding how the threat acts upon the Banded Killifish Newfoundland population and provides an indication of where measures may be used to manage or mitigate the threat. Terms were adapted from the Environment Canada 'Guideline for identifying and mitigating threats to species at risk' (Environment Canada 2008).
Extent - Indicate whether the activity is local (indicates threat information relates to a specific site or narrow portion of the range of the species) or range-wide (indicates threat information relates to the whole distribution or large portion of the range of the species).
Occurrence - Indicate whether the activity is historic (contributed to decline but no longer affecting the species), current (affecting the species now), imminent (is expected to affect the species very soon), anticipated (may affect the species in the future), unknown (no known information) or N/A (not applicable). If applicable, also indicate whether the occurrence differs between 'local' populations, or smaller areas of the range, and the full 'range-wide' distribution.
Frequency - Indicate whether the activity is a one-time occurrence, seasonal (either because the species is migratory or the threat only occurs at certain times of the year - indicate which season), continuous (on-going), recurrent (reoccurs from time to time but not on an annual or seasonal basis), or unknown. If applicable, also indicate whether the frequency differs between 'local' populations, or smaller areas of the range, and the full 'range-wide' distribution.
Causal certainty - Indicate whether the best available knowledge about the specific threat and its impact on population viability is high (evidence causally links the threat to stresses on population viability), medium (correlation between the threat and population viability, expert opinion, etc), or low (assumed or plausible threat only). This should be a general reflection of the degree of evidence that is known for the threat, which in turn provides information on the risk that the threat has been misdiagnosed. If applicable, also indicate whether the level of knowledge differs between 'local' populations, or smaller areas of the range, and the full 'range-wide' distribution.
Severity - Indicate whether the level of severity of the specific threat is high (very large population-level effect), medium, low, or unknown. If applicable, also indicate whether the severity differs between 'local' populations, or smaller areas of the range, and the full 'range-wide' distribution.
Level of concern - Indicate whether managing the specific threat is an overall high, medium, or low concern for recovery of the species, taking into account all of the above factors. This may take into account the ability to mitigate or eliminate the threat.
Mitigation Potential - Indicate whether mitigation for the specific threat in relation to the activity is high (mitigation measures are already in place and/or mitigation measures are known), medium (there is a possibility of mitigation measures and/or mitigation measures are recommended), low (no known mitigation measures and/or no mitigation measures in place), or unknown (data deficient).
The management plan for Banded Killifish in Newfoundland was developed through the cooperative efforts of DFO and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador to meet both federal and provincial legislative requirements.
Several drafts of the document have been reviewed by various DFO sectors in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region, staff from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's Departments of Environment and Conservation and Natural Resources and staff from Parks Canada Agency.
This management plan was also provided to the Federation of Newfoundland Indians and Miawpukek First Nation for their review and comments. The Federation of Newfoundland Indians indicated that they had no issues or concerns with the management plan. The Miawpukek First Nation indicated that they fully support the plan and have no comments or suggestions with respect to its contents.
All input received was taken into consideration during the development of the proposed management plan.
The following is a list of Operational Statements which have been developed for certain low risk fish habitat related activities in Newfoundland and Labrador. These Operational Statements may be downloaded from the DFO internet site at: www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/oceans-habitat/habitat/modernizing-moderniser/epmp-pmpe/nl/index_e.asp
