Using environmental DNA to map biodiversity across Canada’s three oceans
The ability to detect the distribution of not only widespread, but also rare and endangered, species using eDNA allows researchers to identify critical habitats and biodiverse areas requiring protection.

High cod catches could have been sustained in Eastern Canada for decades, simple stock assessment method shows
The assessment model demonstrated that if Canadian authorities had allowed for the rebuilding of the stock of northern Atlantic cod off Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1980s, annual catches of about 200,000 tonnes could have been sustained.
