Redside dace (Clinostomus elongatus) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 14

Acknowledgements and Authorities Contacted

Provisional, 6- and 2-month drafts of the report were prepared for cosewic by Erling Holm (Department of Natural History, Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queens Park, Toronto, ON M5S 2C6), and Alan Dextrase (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Box 7000, Peterborough, Ontario K9J 8M5). The Freshwater Fishes Species Specialist Subcommittee of COSEWIC carried out revision of 2-month interim and final drafts, including recommendations for status and applicability of criteria.
