Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are XX species of fish in the family Salmonidae found in North America. The conservation status of these North American salmonids varies between state (U.S. and Mexico), provincial (Canada), federal (Canada, U.S. and Mexico) and international authorities. There is no consistent criteria for or definitions of conservation status between state, provincial, federal or international authorities. This list includes only official state, provincial, federal or international conservation status designations.

Key terminology

[edit]
  • International
    • Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine groups set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation.[1]
      • Extinct (EX) – No known individuals remaining.
      • Extinct in the Wild (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range.
      • Critically Endangered (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
      • Endangered (EN) – High risk of extinction in the wild.
      • Vulnerable (VU) – High risk of endangerment in the wild.
      • Near Threatened (NT) – Likely to become endangered in the near future.
      • Least Concern (LC) – Lowest risk. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
      • Data Deficient (DD) – Not enough data to make an assessment of its risk of extinction.
      • Not Evaluated (NE) – Has not yet been evaluated against the criteria.
  • Federal
  • U.S. Endangered Species Act (1973)
    • Endangered: "The term 'endangered species' means any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range other than a species of the Class Insecta determined by the Secretary to constitute a pest whose protection under the provisions of this Act would present an overwhelming and overriding risk to man."[2]
    • Threatened: "The term 'threatened species' means any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range."[2]
    • Distinct population segment (DPS): A distinct population segment is the smallest division of a taxonomic species permitted to be protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
    • Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU): An Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) is a population of organisms that is considered distinct for purposes of conservation.
  • Species at Risk Act (SARA) (Canada): The Species at Risk Act (SARA) is a piece of Canadian federal legislation which became law in Canada on December 12, 2002. The goal of the Act is to protect endangered or threatened organisms and their habitats. It also manages species which are not yet threatened, but whose existence or habitat is in jeopardy.
    • Extirpated: "extirpated species" means a wildlife species that no longer exists in the wild in Canada, but exists elsewhere in the wild.[3]
    • Threatened: "threatened species" means a wildlife species that is likely to become an endangered species if nothing is done to reverse the factors leading to its extirpation or extinction.[3]
    • Endangered: "endangered species" means a wildlife species that is facing imminent extirpation or extinction.[3]
    • Species of special concern: "species of special concern" means a wildlife species that may become a threatened or an endangered species because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats.[3]
  • State
    • Montana: "Montana Species of Concern are defined as vertebrate animals with a state rank of S1, S2, or S3. Vertebrate species with a rank indicating uncertainty (SU), a "range rank" extending below the S3 cutoff (e.g., S3S4), or those ranked S4 for which there is limited baseline information on status are considered Potential Species of Concern."[4]
  • Provincial
