Review of the area 7 Manila clam fishery / G.E. Gillespie, T.C. Norgard and F.E. Scurrah.: Fs70-1/1999-197E-PDF
The Area 7 clam fishery commenced in the winter of 1992/93. The fishery was managed under a total allowable catch of 113.6 t for each of Manila, littleneck and butter clams. There was one insignificant landing of littlenecks, and no butter landings. Manila landings peaked at 114.1 t in 1994/95, and averaged 73.5 t per season through 1998/99. This report reviews the development of the fishery, collects and interprets survey activities by the Heiltsuk Fisheries Program and Fisheries and Ocean Canada, characterizes stock status, assesses the effect of the fishery on stock status, and provides recommendations for continuation of a sustainable Manila clam fishery in the area.
