A voluntary logbook program was initiated by DFO [Fisheries and Oceans Canada] Science Branch in 1993. Volunteer fishermen record their daily fishing activities including: catch by category (canner and market), number of traps hauled, and the number of soak days. The program has provided daily catch and effort information for approximately 2% of the fishing activity within LFA 25. Participants were located throughout the LFA. Lobsters in LFA 25 are in the canner size category for approximately one molt before growing into market size, therefore the ratio of canner: market can be used as the indicator relative survival after the first year in the fishery. The data showed the same declining trends observed with other indicators for canner and market size lobsters. Annual canner: market ratio trends are declining in all SDs. 1, record 1, English, - Index%20Fishermen%20Program

La Direction des sciences du MPO [Pêches et Océans Canada] a mis en œuvre en 1993 un programme volontaire de journaux de bord. Les pêcheurs qui y participent consignent dans un journal leurs activités quotidiennes de pêche, y compris les prises par catégorie(homard de conserverie et homard de marché), le nombre de casiers relevés et le nombre de jours de mouillage, ce qui a permis de recueillir de l'information sur les prises et l'effort quotidiens pour environ 2% des activités de pêche dans l'ensemble de la ZPH 25. Comme le homard retrouvé dans ces eaux est de taille de conserverie pendant environ une mue avant d’atteindre la taille commerciale, on peut utiliser le ratio homard de conserverie : homard de marché comme indicateur de la survie relative après la première année de pêche. Les données révèlent les mêmes tendances à la baisse de l'abondance du homard de conserverie et du homard de marché que celles révélées par d’autres indicateurs. 1, record 1, French, - Programme%20des%20p%C3%AAcheurs%20rep%C3%A8res

Studies done in the past two years have shown that acidic snow resulted in severe depression of pH in streams and surface water of lakes during the spring runoff. The maximum increase in hydrogen ion concentration in the ten streams surveyed to date was up to 15 times the annual average. A spring pH depression is coincident with spring spawning of some species of fish and amphibians. 2, record 4, English, - pH%20depression

La mesure la plus simple de l'acidification des eaux de surface consiste en une comparaison dans le temps et dans l'espace des mesures de pH. S’ il y a acidification, il y a baisse du pH. Par contre, cette baisse de pH constitue la dernière phase de l'acidification. Avant la baisse du pH, il y a eu chute du pouvoir tampon, par conséquent un indicateur des effets réels de l'acidification. 5, record 4, French, - abaissement%20du%20pH
