Science Advisory Reports and Status Reports

This series documents the status of different stocks of fish, invertebrates and marine mammals in Canada as well as ecosystem, environmental, species at risk and management issues.

Science Advisory Reports (SAR)

Created in 2005, Science Advisory Reports include traditional Stock Status Reports, Ecosystem Status Reports, and Habitat Status Reports. Moreover, management strategies, frameworks and guidelines on the assessment or evaluation on specific issues, impacts of human activities on ecosystem components as well as recovery assessments on a species or population, are also included in this series.

Research Documents

This series documents the scientific basis for the evaluation of fisheries resources in Canada. As such, it addresses the issues of the day - in the time frames required for management - by providing progress reports on ongoing investigations. The research documents use scientific and technical terms and are published in the official language in which they are provided to the secretariat.

Proceedings

The Proceedings Series contains publications which record the activities at meetings or workshops of which DFO is a sponsor. The Proceedings generally record decisions, recommendations, and major points of discussion at these meetings and workshops. Formats in the Proceedings Series are flexible, to accommodate the many types of meetings which must be covered. In all cases an objective is to reflect in the Proceedings the diversity of opinion present in the discussions at the meeting or workshop.

Science Responses (New!)

This series documents the responses provided by DFO Science for issues handled via the Science Special Response Processes (SSRPs). The SSRPs are generally used when Science has to respond to urgent and unforeseen requests for scientific information / advice or to respond to a request for which advisory precedents already exist.

A more detailed description of the SSRPs and of the circumstances they can be used is available at: www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas/csas/Process-Processus/Special/Special_e.htm

Please note that the pages linked below are under construction. The Series field is currently blank, and the Science Response series is not included in our drop-down menus. This application is currently being upgraded.
