Which one of these statements about COSEWIC is false? COSEWIC's assessments take into account political, social and economic factors. The Species at Risk Act (2002) established COSEWIC as an advisory body. The committee made its first designation in April 1978 and has met annually since then. Members of COSEWIC are wildlife biology experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector responsible for designating wildlife species in danger of disappearing from Canada.

What are important characteristics of adequate monitoring plans for translocation programs? Select all the correct options. Select 3 correct answer(s) Leaving released individuals aside and focusing on monitoring the population as a whole. Avoid advertising the success of program to local communities so that released individuals are not bothered by curious people. A long-term plan that involves monitoring the population over many years. Monitoring the costs of the program so that cost-effective analysis can be made. Monitoring other ecosystem elements beyond the released species, such as prey and vegetation.
What do restocking programs for wild animals involve? Pick the correct following statement number: 1. Releasing individuals into an existing population to increase the size of the population and the diversity of its gene pool 2. Releasing wild-collected individuals into a new site 3. Releasing captive-bred individuals into a new site 4. Releasing captive-bred or wild-collected individuals into an ecologically suitable site within their historical ranges where the species no longer occurs
Match the approach to protection with the example from the academic literature. Species approach Hotspot approach Ecosystem approach 1. Wolf reintroductions into the Yellowstone environment restored riparian species and increased biodiversity because wolves controlled the numbers of elk and coyotes which allowed plants, beaver, and foxes to rebound (Ripple and Beschta 2003). 2. The creation of a reserve protects the red-brown treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus). This approach looks to accommodate processes that threaten species viability, such as fragmentation and feral predators (Nicholson et al. 2013). 3. Species richness of tiger beetles, Cicindelidae, is positively correlated with bird and butterfly diversity across North America, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent (Reid, 1998).
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) is the only fish species that belongs to Family Chanidae which is nearly related to tuna and salmon due to its fusiform shape and migratory nature (FAO 2009; BFAR 2020). It is widely distributed in the Indo-pacific region and abundantly collected in the South and Southeast Asian, and West Pacific Regions (BFAR 2010). Milkfish is one of the most commercially important fish species in the Philippines (Samson 1984). Milkfish reach sexual maturity (approximately 1.5m length and 20 kg weight) in five years in large floating cages, but may take 8-10 years in ponds and concrete tanks (FAO 2009). In the natural environment, milkfish populations near the coral reefs spawn during warm months of the year while populations near the equator spawn year-round. First-time spawners produce fewer eggs but larger and older broodstocks produce as many eggs as wild adults of similar size. Broodstocks of about 8 years old and about 6 kg produce 3-4 million eggs. Juvenile and adults…
