The status of the herring in the Bras d'Or Lakes in 1996-1997 / by S. Denny … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1998-80E-PDF
This report presents the first detailed examination of the Bras d'Or Lakes herring spawning component since 1981. The study, initiated in 1996 by the Eskasoni Fish & Wildlife Commission and the Department of Fisheries & Oceans, has led to the collection of more information on the commercial & bait fisheries. Egg bed, spawning & larval surveys, combined with a questionnaire survey of fishers, have further elucidated the status of herring & the herring fishery in the Lakes. Analysis of data collected in this study reveals degree of deterioration in the status of the Bras d'Or Lakes herring stock. Finally, a management plan for 1998 and recommendations for conservation of the herring stock are presented.
