Examination of morphometric and meristic characteristics of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus harengus) caught during spawning along the Gaspé coast and the St. Lawrence Estuary lead to the conclusion of the existence of at least three herring populations in that area. The first one occurs in the St. Lawrence Estuary, spawns in the spring and is characterized by smaller length-at-age values than the two other populations which are comprised respectively of spring-spawners and autumn-spawners that are fished off the Gaspé peninsula.Key words: Atlantic herring, St. Lawrence Estuary, Gaspé peninsula, morphometric characteristics, meristic characteristics
Résumé La France et le Québec accordent tous deux une grande importance à la promotion de la santé des jeunes. Cela passe par une politique de développement de l’éducation pour la santé en milieu scolaire. Toutefois, les démarches diffèrent profondément. Au Québec, il est possible d’impulser la mise en œuvre de programmes intégrés d’éducation pour la santé à partir des écoles en lien avec la communauté. La France, quant à elle, privilégie le développement de l’éducation à la santé en s’appuyant avant tout sur les structures et dispositifs spécifiques au milieu scolaire.
