Assessment update of Browns Bank North scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) .: Fs70-7/2015-024E-PDF
The purpose of this report is to update the key results from the last assessment with data from 2014 in order to provide science advice for the management of the 2015 fishery. The last full assessment of this stock was in 2013 (DFO 2013, Hubley et al. 2013), and an update was conducted in 2014 (DFO 2014). The management of the main Scallop fishery on Browns Bank refers to the northern part of the bank. Browns Bank South is a marginal growth area for Scallops and has separate management measures (Appendix 1). The assessment and advice presented in this document use the assessment framework established in 2011 (Hubley et al. 2011) for Browns Bank North.
