Significant parameters for different species with status under the Species at Risk Act (SARA)

Layers that present various important parameters such as inventories, presence, sightings, distribution, relative occurrence or catch rates, critical habitat, breeding and feeding areas, potential spawning and haul-out sites for the different species with status under the Species at Risk Act (SARA).

The act classifies those species as being either extirpated, endangered, threatened, or of special concern. Under SARA, Fisheries and Oceans Canada must produce recovery strategies and action plans for aquatic species listed as endangered or threatened. The act is part of Canada’s strategy to protect hundreds of wild plants and animal species from becoming extinct, and to help in their recovery.

The different species represented by the layers are the following:

  1. American shad (Alosa sapidissima)

  2. Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus)

  3. Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus)

  4. Beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas)

  5. Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus)

  6. Copper redhorse (Moxostoma hubbsi)

  7. Eelgrass (Zostera marina)

  8. Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus)

  9. Harbor seal (Phoca vitulina)

  10. Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)

  11. Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens)

  12. Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)

  13. Northern wolffish (Anarhichas denticulatus)

  14. Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax)

  15. Sea pens (Pennatulacea)

  16. Seaweed

  17. Smooth skate (Malacoraja senta)

  18. Sponges

  19. Spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor)

  20. Striped bass (Morone saxatilis)

  21. Thorny skate (Amblyraja radiata)

  22. Winter skate (Leucoraja ocellata)
