TA_SURVEY_PARCELS_SVW Contains the spatial representation (polygon) of all active primary and subdivision parcels of land that are or have been within the purview of the B.C. Crown Land Management program. The view was created to provide a simplified view of this data from the survey parcel information in the Tantalis operational system. Primary and subdivision parcels are the two types of parcels (as identified by the PARCEL_TYPE attribute) that are generally suitable for transfer of ownership

TA_SURVEYED_ROW_PARCELS_SVW contains the spatial representation (polygon) of all parcels of land surveyed for statutory access or Right-of-Way purposes, with active surveys, that are or have been within the purview of the B.C. Crown Land Management program. The view was created to provide a simplified view of this data from the survey parcel information in the Tantalis operational system

PURPOSE:The purpose of this work was to determine (1) how the population genomic structure relates to gut microbiota composition of White Hake (Urophycis tenuis), and (2) whether microbiota community variation provides complementary insights into population structure of this species in eastern Canada.DESCRIPTION:Integrating host-associated microbiota with genomic approaches offers an opportunity to better understand the multiple biological dimensions shaping population structure in marine fishes. A clear understanding of population structure and dynamics is essential for informed fisheries management and conservation decisions; however, while genomic approaches have greatly improved our ability to delineate biological populations, they provide only a partial representation of biological structure, as patterns of differentiation reflect both historical divergence and contemporary ecological conditions. Host-associated microbiota can influence population-level ecological processes by contributing functional, potentially heritable variation that shapes host phenotype and fitness.In this study, we combined genotyping-by-sequencing with 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to examine how population genomic structure relates to gut microbiota composition and to evaluate whether microbiota community variation provides complementary insights into population structure in White Hake (Urophycis tenuis) in eastern Canada. Genomic analyses identified two populations with greater spatial overlap than previously reported. Variation partitioning revealed that host genetics explained a negligible proportion of microbiota variation compared to environmental factors and fish length, suggesting that ontogenetic shifts in habitat use and resource acquisition influence gut microbiota composition. Several taxa were differentially abundant among fish length categories used as a proxy for diet, including taxa with chitin-degrading potential such as Photobacterium and Lachnospirales, which were enriched in smaller fish known to consume a crustacean-dominated diet. Together, these results indicate that gut microbiota composition in White Hake primarily reflects ecological and life-history processes rather than host population structure. PARAMETERS COLLECTED:Environmental parameters were also collected at most sampling sites, including depth, water temperature, oxygen and salinity levels.PHYSICAL SAMPLE DETAILS:Fin samples were collected to characterize the fish genotypes. Intestine (rectum) samples were collected to study fish gut microbiome.SAMPLING METHODS:In 2022 and 2023, White Hake were sampled during Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) annual bottom trawl ecosystem monitoring surveys.USE LIMITATION:To ensure scientific integrity and appropriate use of the data, we would encourage you to contact the data custodian.

The Fish Pathogen Boundary Segment layer forms the boundary of the Fish Pathogen Management Zones and is made up of segments that were taken from the Ontario Road Network. This data class was created in order to store the road name information associated with each segment that makes up the fish pathogen management zone boundary. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Zones were created to manage the potential spread of fish pathogens. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

This file contains a generalized representation of watersheds developed from the 1:50,000 BC Watershed Atlas with each region coded for occurrence of freshwater fish species (including anadromous salmon in their freshwater stages). The initial fish species codes for presence/absence in each watershed were derived from an GIS overlay of fish species occurrences within broadly defined fish regions for BC. This overlay of fish ranges describes the occurrences of fish species in 30 regions throughout the province. These broad species ranges were derived from McPhail and Carveth's 'Key to Freshwater Fish of BC' and refined further based on the most current expert opinion. Coding for watershed polygons based on this expert opinion was originally: 0= out of species range; 4 = core range; 5= introduced range; 6= peripheral range; 9= estuarine polygons only. A further refinement of watershed fish species coding was developed from actual observations of fish species in the lakes and rivers of British Columbia. This data comes from a number of fish inventory sources. Watersheds with known records of occurrence for each fish species were consequently recoded as such: 4, 5, 6, 9 now equal '1' if a museum record, and, 4, 5, 6, 9 now equal '2' for a less reliable record, and, 0 now equals '8'. for an out-of range record
