Collection of ground beetles and lepidoptera collected in nine forested sites on the island of Anticosti in 1993.

Areas of known Soft Shelled Clam presence in the Bay of Fundy and Port Hawkesbury area. The Coastal Oceanography and Ecosystem Research section (DFO Science) reviewed reported Clam harvest and study areas as well utilized local knowledge of the areas to estimate clam flats.

A version of this dataset was created for the National Environmental Emergency Center (NEEC) following their data model and is available for download in the Resources section.

The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is Canada's public inventory of pollutant releases (to air, water and land), disposals and transfers for recycling. Each file contains data from 1993 to the latest reporting year. These CSV format datasets are in normalized or ‘list’ format and are optimized for pivot table analyses. Here is a description of each file: - The RELEASES file contains all substance release quantities.

The determination of the trace element concentrations in food is important for consumer safety. Trace elements are metals that are present in low concentrations in air, water and soil. Thirty-four trace elements are commonly measured in TDS food sample composites. Although mercury and fluoride measurement results are not available on the open data portal, they can be found in the references below.

The main purpose of the Conservation Atlas of Wetlands is to develop a portrait of the wetlands of the St. Lawrence Valley using innovative mapping methods in order to favor bird conservation by helping land managers to make decisions about land use and bird habitat conservation. Another objective was to develop methods needed to allow a monitoring of the St. Lawrence Valley wetlands and make a link to a potential national mapping project of that type as an indicator on environment quality in Canada. The Atlas is considered a large-scale project because of the area covered, the great variability in the area’s characteristics and the various types of wetlands encountered. Using Canadian RADARSAT satellite images, along with other sources of information available (e.g., digital hydrological and hypsometric data) and data from Landsat-TM images, the mapping has required certain adjustments and the use of innovative methods.

A national community-based program launched in 1993, funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Available as an ESRI ArcGIS Shapefile, and as a MapInfo MIF/MID file. This dataset was created in 1993.

The database is a publicly-searchable list of Veterinary Biologics Licensed in Canada. It is updated as new veterinary biologics are licensed for use in Canada or as licences are cancelled without prejudice. The database can be searched according to recommended species of use or by veterinary biologics manufacturer. Data compiled for each VB product includes the assigned (scientific) name of the product, the trade name, manufacturer, species and date licensed (where available).

Soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria) are a dominant intertidal invertebrate in Kejimkujik lagoons where they perform several important ecological functions including stabilizing the mud flat for other benthic organisms, improving water quality, and providing an important food source to several native species, including migrating shorebirds. Monitoring of population structure is necessary to determine whether the clam population is maintaining itself or declining. A pilot study was conducted in 2007 in Little Port Joli Basin to assess the status of the population and determine the cost efficiency of monitoring. This work is performed every 3 years from July to October at the same locations within the productive clam flat area.
