加拿大拟将15个水生物种种群列入《濒危物种法》保护名单并征求公众意见
加拿大渔业及海洋部10月9日在渥太华宣布，加拿大政府拟依据《濒危物种法》（SARA）新增或重新分类15个水生物种种群，并已开启为期30天的公众意见征询期。
渔业部长 Joanne Thompson 表示，拟新增列入该法附表1的包括11个物种或种群：鼠鲨、暗斑岩鱼、北太平洋白斑角鲨、冬鳐的两个种群、滑鳐（Laurentian-Scotian 种群）、姥鲨（大西洋种群）、白斑角鲨（大西洋种群）、河镖鲈（Great Lakes 与 Upper St. Lawrence 种群），以及 Little Quarry Lake 三刺鱼的两个物种。
拟议命令还将调整已列物种的等级：暖水鱼（Warmouth）由特别关注升级为濒危，滨脉杜父鱼（Cultus Lake 种群）由受威胁升级为濒危；落基山杜父鱼的 Eastslope 种群将拆分为 Missouri River 与 Saskatchewan-Nelson River 两个种群。
渔业及海洋部表示，列入决定以加拿大濒危野生动物状况委员会（COSEWIC）的科学评估为基础，并综合考虑与原住民社区、各省与地区、业界及公众的协商意见和社会经济影响。相关拟议新增与重新分类信息预计10月10日刊登于《加拿大公报》第一部分。
Canada Proposes Listing 15 Aquatic Species Populations Under the Species at Risk Act
Fisheries and Oceans Canada announced in Ottawa on October 9 that the Government of Canada is proposing to add or reclassify 15 aquatic species populations under the Species at Risk Act (SARA), and that the proposed listings have been posted for a 30-day public comment period.
Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson said eleven species or populations are proposed to be added to Schedule 1 of SARA: porbeagle; darkblotched rockfish; North Pacific spiny dogfish; two populations of winter skate; smooth skate (Laurentian-Scotian population); basking shark (Atlantic population); spiny dogfish (Atlantic population); river darter (Great Lakes-Upper St. Lawrence populations); and both species of Little Quarry Lake threespine stickleback.
The proposed order would also reclassify warmouth from special concern to endangered and the coastrange sculpin (Cultus Lake population) from threatened to endangered, and split the Rocky Mountain sculpin (Eastslope populations) into two new populations: the Missouri River populations and the Saskatchewan-Nelson River populations.
The department said listing decisions are based on scientific assessments by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), consultations with Indigenous communities, provinces and territories, industry and the public, and an assessment of potential socio-economic impacts. Information on the proposed listings was expected to be published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on October 10.
