Congratulations to this year’s inductees!

CARS is delighted to present the 2021 Legends: Dr. Kim Hyatt, Dr. Brian Shuter, and Dr. Ken Minns.

The goal of the CARS (Canadian Aquatic Resources Section of the American Fisheries Society) “Legends of Canadian Fisheries Science and Management” is to recognize the accomplishments of fisheries professionals in Canada. Their foundational work, much of it conducted decades ago, still underpins our thinking of ecological processes and is the basis for today’s conservation and management.
