Spring salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 5

Protection

The species is not listed in the current Quebec Endangered Species Act, “Loi sur les espèces menacées ou vulnérables” (L. R. Q., chap. E-12-01), but is on the list of species to be evaluated for designation (Beaulieu and Huot 1992). A status report was prepared for that purpose (Bonin 1991b).

The Quebec wildlife conservation act, “Loi sur la conservation et la mise en valeur de la faune” (L. R. Q., chap. C-61.1), regulates the harvesting, sale and collection of native species in Quebec. The spring salamander cannot be collected in the wild, sold, or kept in captivity. A licence is required for purposes of scientific and educational collection.
