Fisheries Management Zones have replaced former Fishing Divisions and are the geographic basis for managing, monitoring, assessing and regulating recreational fisheries for a majority of lakes and streams in a zone. Each zone is based on angler usage and ecological/geographic patterns such as climate zones, watersheds and road networks.

This spatial dataset contains a summary of fishing regulations and fish sanctuary descriptions. The data includes information on: * species catch and possession limits * size limits * seasons and close times * fish sanctuaries * bait and gear restrictions * regulations for specific fisheries management zones and waterbodies This dataset is not intended for legal purposes nor is it a complete representation of current regulations. For details on the current regulations, visit: * the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, S.O. 1997 * the Fisheries Act, R.S.C., 1985 * the Ontario Fishery Regulations Close times, fishing quotas and size limits established in the Ontario Fishery Regulations may be changed through variation orders.

Fish ON-Line is a mobile fishing tool with information on where to fish in Ontario. It includes information for over 20,000 waterbodies including: * fish species observations * fish stocking * fishing regulations and sanctuaries * fishing access points * lake depth contours * licence issuer locations It also has links to other sources of information such as: * broad-scale monitoring program * provincial parks * Guide to Eating Ontario Fish * local weather forecasts Related datasets: * Aquatic Resource Areas - Polygons * Aquatic Resource Areas - Lines * Bathymetry Lines * Fishing Regulation Exemptions * Fish Stocking * Fishing Access Points * Fisheries Management Zones * Geographic Names * Guide to Eating Ontario Fish * Licence Issuer Locations * Ontario waterbody location identifer

The Fish Management Zone dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the Fish Management Zones in Alberta. Fish Management Zone is an area having its own unique assemblage of water bodies, species of game fish and management regimes.

Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS) layer of Historic (pre 2001) Fish Distribution Zones of BC streams. Includes salmonid rearing and spawning zones. Georeferenced to the stream centreline network layer of the 1:50,000 scale BC Watershed Atlas.

For health auditing purposes, a farm is considered active once three pens of fish have been present for 30 days, following entry of the first pen of fish at the farm. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) applies a computerized selection system to randomly select active salmon farms within the fish health zones of the British Columbia. coast. All farms within a zone are assigned a random number and a computer selection of the farms within that zone is weighted (based on the fish species and the number of “active farms” operating in that zone as a percentage of the total number of active farms in the province).

The Fish Pathogen Boundary Segment layer forms the boundary of the Fish Pathogen Management Zones and is made up of segments that were taken from the Ontario Road Network. This data class was created in order to store the road name information associated with each segment that makes up the fish pathogen management zone boundary.

Aquatic fish data are collected across watercourses in Jasper National Park using a variety of fish sampling methods in order to inventory fish diversity, distribution, and relative densities over time. Data collected provide resource management some of the necessary information needed to prepare stock-specific plans to conserve, manage, and where appropriate restore native fish and their habitats in Jasper National Park.

The Recovery Strategy for Northern Wolffish (Anarhichas denticulatus), Spotted Wolffish (A. minor), and Management Plan for Atlantic Wolffish (A. lupus) in Canada (Kulka et al. 2007) (hereafter referred to as the Recovery Strategy) was posted on the Species at Risk Public Registry in 2008. The following document fulfills Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) commitment to report every five years on the progress of Recovery Strategy implementation and covers the period February 2008 - February 2013.

Ontario's recreational fishing regulations are based on 20 Fisheries Management Zones. This map outlines the "border waters area" in Zone 5. The layer and the resulting map were created by the Office of the Surveyor General of Ontario.
