Biographical Summary of Report Writer

Susan M. Pollard completed a B.Sc. in Marine Biology and M.Sc. in fish population genetics at the University of Guelph in 1992. As the BC government's fisheries geneticist, she established and maintained the provincial fisheries genetics program under the Conservation Section for approximately 8 years until 2001. Major areas of focus during this time included steelhead stock identification to address mixed-stock fisheries issues, describing genetic population structure and conservation units for various freshwater fish species (including white sturgeon, bull trout and cutthroat trout), evaluating fish culture practices and assisting in the development of provincial policies surrounding conservation and management of native fishes in BC. Susan spent a year in Alberta, during which time she began the three AB species at risk status reports. In 2002, she returned to BC and currently works with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and the Biodiversity Branch of the BC Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection on a number of projects including policy development for conservation and management of fisheries, species at risk and exotic species issues. As well, Susan currently acts as secretariat for the Milk River Species At Risk Recovery Team.
