Status and Management of Freshwater and Diadromous Fisheries in Québec [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
With half a million lakes, 4,300 rivers, and one of the largest rivers in the world that connects with the Atlantic Ocean, the province of Québec has a unique geographic context that favors a diversity of aquatic habitats and thriving fish communities. By legislative delegation, the provincial government is responsible for the management of freshwater, anadromous, and catadromous species. Each year, 43 million fish are harvested by recreational anglers and about 400 tons by commercial fishers, so fisheries management and conservation must rely on robust monitoring networks, strong scientific studies, and constant collaborations with a diverse array of partners. The aim of this chapter is to present a portrait of Québec's fish community, the legislative framework, and the scientific background behind fisheries management and conservation in Québec. We present eight case studies highlighting the variety of challenges faced in fisheries management.
