This theme, which lists more than 1,400 fishing sites in Quebec and nearly forty fish species, provides information on the consumption of sport fishing fish according to species and their size. The number of meals is determined on a monthly basis by calculating that one meal is equivalent to a portion of 230 grams before cooking (8 ounces) of freshwater fish caught in Quebec.The main factors in determining the degree of contamination of the flesh of fish caught in a given location are the species and the size: small, medium and large. The recommendations in the data layer take into account both of these factors.The rules presented in it are intended to warn against the risks associated with the consumption of fish in the long term. They are particularly relevant for people who are in the habit of consuming fish frequently. They are valid at all times, unless otherwise advised by public health officials in your area.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Feature layer of Fish Shed locations (Fish Packing Stations) across Manitoba.This feature layer - which is used in the Manitoba Commercial Fishing Industry Map  and the Manitoba Commercial Fishing Industry Application - shows the Fish Shed locations (Fish Packing Stations) across Manitoba. This is a point layer that includes the name of the Fish Shed.

Important sites: reproduction, feeding and concentration area. Data extracted from the Fish Habitat Management Information System (FHAMIS) according to a literature review of documents produced between 1976 and 1999.

Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS) layer of Historic (pre 2001) Fish Distribution Points of BC Streams. Points represent site locations where a fish species is rearing, spawning or observed or where a point is located at the mouth of a stream it indicates the presence of a fish species somewhere in the stream as a whole. Georeferenced to the stream centreline network layer of the 1:50,000 scale BC Watershed Atlas.

DFO’s Oceans and Coastal Management Division (OCMD) in the Maritimes Region has updated its fisheries landings maps for 2010–2014. These maps will be used for decision making in coastal and oceans management, including mitigating human use conflicts, informing environmental emergency response operations and protocols, informing Marine Stewardship Council certification processes, planning marine protected area networks, assessing ecological risks, and monitoring compliance and threats in coral and sponge closures and Marine Protected Areas. Fisheries maps were created to identify important fishing areas using aggregate landed weight (kg) per 2 x 2-minute grid cell for selected species/gear types.This dataset has been filtered to comply with the Government of Canada's privacy policy. Privacy assessments were conducted to identify NAFO unit areas containing data with less than five vessel IDs, license IDs and fisher IDs. If this threshold was not met, catch weight locations were withheld from these unit areas to protect the identity or activity of individual vessels or companies.Maps were created for the following species/gear types: 1. Atlantic Halibut2. Bluefin Tuna3. Bottom Longline Groundfish4. Bottom Trawl Groundfish5. Cod6. Cod, Haddock, Pollock7. Cusk8. Dogfish9. Flatfish10. Gillnet Groundfish11. Greenland Halibut12.

These datasets show commercial fisheries catch weight landings of directed fisheries and bycatch from the Scotian Shelf, the Bay of Fundy, and Georges Bank from NAFO Divisions 4VWX and the Canadian portions of 5Y and 5Z. Atlantic Canadian inter-regional maps of four species (Atlantic Halibut, Bluefin Tuna, Redfish and Scallop) are also included from NAFO Divisions 4RST, 3KLMNOP, and 2GHJ. Five-year composite maps (2014–2018) that aggregate catches for each map series are publicly available. The maps aggregate catch weight (kg) per 10 km2 hexagon grid cell for selected species, species groupings and gear types to identify important fishing areas. These maps may be used for decision making in coastal and oceans management, including marine spatial planning, environmental emergency response operations and protocols, Marine Stewardship Council certification processes, marine protected area networks, and ecological risk assessment.These datasets have been filtered to comply with the Government of Canada's privacy policy. Privacy assessments were conducted to identify NAFO unit areas containing data with less than five vessel IDs, licence IDs or fisher IDs. If this threshold was not met, catch weight locations were withheld from these unit areas to protect the identity or activity of individual vessels or companies.Maps were created for the following species, species groupings and gear types:1.
