The Beluga whale critical habitat, which includes the Upper Estuary, the Saguenay River up to Sainte-Marguerite Bay, and the southern channel of the Lower Estuary, supports the vital functions of calving and rearing of the young. Due to the lack of information, studies are planned in the near future to increase knowledge of the species. Critical habitat actual limitations could change someday. Purpose The beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) population in the St. Lawrence Estuary was greatly reduced by hunting, which was finally banned in the St. Lawrence in 1979. In May 2005, this beluga population was officially listed as a threatened species on SARA’s List of Wildlife Species at Risk. Additional Information St. Lawrence beluga critical habitat is identified using the best available information. All the available information on its prey, seasonal distribution, use and characteristics of its habitat has been reviewed by Mosnier (2010). This literature review was used to produce a science advisory report reviewed by marine mammal experts. Beluga whale critical habitat has been identified with the information and the scientific advice, using the area of occupancy approach and corresponds to the summer distribution of groups made up of adults and new-born calves and juveniles.

The Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park (SSLMP) is a region that sustains a high abundance of zooplankton. The connectivity between zooplankton populations within the SSLMP and the surrounding areas was investigated for Calanus finmarchicus and C. hyperboreus. Deep-dwelling stage V copepodites (CVs) were collected in the Marine Park as well as in putative source regions in the St. Lawrence system in July 2009 (a time when they were entering into diapause). In May 2010, at the end of the overwintering period, diapausing CVs were sampled again in the Marine Park. To discriminate the origins and to predict the probable regions of origin of these deep-dwelling diapausing CVs in the SSLMP, a quadratic discriminant function analysis (QDFA) was performed. The classification algorithm was based on the carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) and percent carbon (%C) of individual copepods, as these variables are conservative when lipids are extracted prior to analysis. Our results suggest that about 23% of the Calanus spp. population sampled in SSLMP in late spring 2010 originated from the Saguenay Fjord (inside the SSLMP). The remainder of this population originated from regions outside the SSLMP, including the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary, and likely further east in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Our results revealed high connectivity across the Saguenay and the St. Lawrence systems, as well as the potential for significant local production and recruitment of Calanus spp. within the Saguenay Fjord. This study also revealed the effectiveness of using δ13C as a marker in delineating the origin of Calanus spp., which has a relatively long non-feeding overwintering and diapausing period making it amenable to the conservation of isotopic signatures.

BackgroundVitamin D-dependant rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the CYP27B1 gene. This gene is essential for vitamin D activation. Although VDDR1A is a rare condition worldwide, its prevalence is high in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (SLSJ) region due to a founder effect. Daily intake of calcitriol before the onset of clinical manifestations can prevent them in affected children.MethodsA genetic screening test was developed and validated for the CYP27B1 gene c.262del pathogenic variant. Newborn screening was implemented in the SLSJ region for this variant, and the feasibility and acceptability were assessed. Sixteen medical records of children affected with VDDR1A were reviewed to document the consequences of the disease at diagnosis.ResultsA total of 2000 newborns were tested for VDDR1A. Most families (96.5%) accepted the genetic test. We found a carrier rate of 1/29 for the c.262delG variant in our cohort, which is suggestive of a founder effect. We identified one child affected with VDDR1A and treatment was initiated before the onset of clinical manifestations. On average, children with VDDR1A were diagnosed at 13.8 ± 5 months of age, they had a significant failure to thrive at diagnosis, among other harmful health consequences.ConclusionOur study showed that in our population, the newborn genetic screening program is safe and feasible, it has high acceptability, and it is efficient to identify affected children. VDDR1A health consequences can be prevented by early initiation of treatment. Therefore, screening programs should be available for populations where it is deemed as beneficial from a public health perspective.

Les fonctions vitales de mise bas et d’élevage du béluga ont lieu au sein de l’habitat essentiel, délimité par l’estuaire moyen, la rivière Saguenay jusqu’à la baie Sainte-Marguerite et le chenal du sud de l’estuaire maritime. En raison de l’insuffisance de l’information disponible, des études sont prévues dans un avenir rapproché afin d’accroître les connaissances sur l’espèce. Les limites de l’habitat essentiel actuellement présenté pourraient être appelées à changer. Objectif La population de bélugas (Delphinapterus leucas) de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent a été grandement réduite par la chasse, qui fut interdite en 1979 dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent. En mai 2005, cette population a été officiellement inscrite à l’annexe 1 de la Loi sur les espèces en péril à titre d’espèce menacée. Information additionnelle L’habitat essentiel du béluga a été désigné en se basant sur la meilleure information disponible. Toute l’information sur ses proies, sa répartition saisonnière ainsi que l’utilisation et les caractéristiques de son habitat, a été revue par Mosnier (2010). La compilation de littérature a par la suite été intégrée dans un avis scientifique revu par des experts en mammifères marins. Les informations et l’avis scientifique ont permis de désigner l’habitat essentiel du béluga selon l’approche de la zone d’occupation et correspond à l’aire de répartition estivale des groupes composés d’adultes accompagnées de nouveau-nés et de juvéniles.
