NAFO Fishing Division 4T Herring Spawning Grounds Acoustic Survey

PURPOSE:
Used as an abundance index for use in stock assessment.

DESCRIPTION:
In 2015, a spawning ground acoustic survey that follows the design of the fishery-independent acoustic survey was initiated. This survey is the result of a partnership between DFO and fishery associations. The survey design uses random parallel transects within predefined strata. Surveys are conducted by fishermen in the fall fishing season according to protocols developed by DFO. The survey is conducted at night, during the weekend fishery closures except in Herring fishing area 16C and 16E in 2015 to 2017, where this region didn’t have weekend closures. The spawning ground acoustic survey is meant to provide a nightly estimate of spawning biomass among regions. It is analyzed in the same manner as the fishery-independent acoustic survey. The catches from the experimental nets are used to calibrate the spawning group specific target strength in order to obtain the nightly estimates of spawning biomass.
            
PARAMETERS COLLECTED:
Size and age measurement (biological); acoustic tracking (ecological); species counts (ecological)

SAMPLING METHODS:
See references.

USE LIMITATION:
To ensure scientific integrity and appropriate use of the data, we would encourage you to contact the data custodian.

Significant areas of krill in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence

Krill is a generic name for crustaceans of the order Euphausiids, most of which are known to be Thysanoessa raschii and Meganyctiphanes norvegica in eastern Canada. Krill is an important food resource for many marine mammals, in particular the blue whale.

The maps show the points of high krill concentration per month from April to November. Each point gives the number of years of high aggregation probability (6 to 10 years). The data were produced from a mathematical model developed in Plourde et al. 2016. The model has allowed to calculate the probability of meeting a strong aggregation of krill over a period of 10 years. High krill aggregations are defined as the 95th percentile of predicted biomass in 10 x 10 km cells covering the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Additional Information:

Plourde, S., Lehoux, C., McQuinn, I.H., and Lesage, V. (2016).  Describing krill distribution in the western North Atlantic using statistical habitat models. DFO Can. Sci. Advis. Sec. Res. Doc. 2016/111. v + 34 p.

McQuinn, I.H., Gosselin, J.-F., Bourassa, M.-N., Mosnier, A., St-Pierre, J.-F., Plourde, S., Lesage, V., Raymond, A. 2016. The spatial association of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) with krill patches (Thysanoessa spp. and Meganyctiphanes norvegica) in the estuary and northwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence. DFO Can. Sci. Advis. Sec. Res. Doc. 2016/104. iv + 19 p. 

The data are incomplete upstream of Pointe-des-Monts because of the lack of water height anomalies in the area (variable being used to predict aggregations of krill). A less number of years with a high aggregation of krill is thus represented but that should not be interpreted as a less favorable zone compared to areas East of Pointe-des-Monts.

Late Wisconsinan McConnell glaciation of the Big Salmon Range, Yukon.

The late Wisconsinan McConnell glaciation of the Big Salmon Range in the Pelly Mountains consisted of a four-phase ice-flow history. Phase 1 ice-flow consisted of local alpine glaciers advancing to the mountain front. During phase 2, or glacial maximum, the Cassiar lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet advanced to the northwest and overtopped the range. Retreat of the Cassiar lobe during phase 3 of the glaciation resulted in ponding of meltwater in eastern drainage basins. The meltwater spilled over into western basins and caused significant erosion of surficial sediments. Phase 4 of the glaciation is marked by a limited late-glacial readvance of local alpine glaciers. This glacial history has several important implications for mineral and placer exploration in the area.

Occupational health and safety field visits, workplaces visited, and orders issued

A field visit occurs when a ministry inspector visits a workplace to assess compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and regulations. A workplace is considered any land, premises, physical location or thing at, upon, in or near which a worker work.  An inspector may visit the same workplace multiple times. During the field visit, the inspector can issue orders to different companies ("contraveners") at a workplace to achieve compliance with OHSA and regulations. Inspectors can also issue legal direction to workplace parties notifying them of their obligation to co-operate and to provide requested information. This dataset includes the: * date of the field visit * type of visit (for example, initial or follow-up) * case type (inspection or investigation) * case status * workplace visited, including workplace ID, name, location and NAICS code * contravener's name and role, where applicable * orders issued under OHSA and regulations, where applicable *[OHSA]: Occupational Health and Safety Act *[NAICS]: North American Industry Classification System

Pollen Monitoring Network Study

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, with assistance from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness, started the Pollen Monitoring Network in 2015, in support of Ontario's Pollinator Health Action Plan. This was to measure changes in pesticide (neonicotinoid insecticide, insecticide and fungicide) concentrations following restrictions on the use of neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybean seeds. The data contains measurements of pesticide (neonicotinoid insecticide, insecticide and fungicide) concentrations in pollen samples collected from honeybee yards in Ontario.
