Update on the status of scallops in scallop production area 4 in the Bay of Fundy for 2000 / Stephen J. Smith and Mark J. Lundy.: Fs70-1/2000-124E-PDF
This document presents an update on the stock status of scallops in Scallop Production Area (SPA) 4 on the eastern side of the Bay of Fundy, taking into account the 1999 fishery and the 2000 research survey. Landings in 1999 were 79 t against a total allowable catch (TAC) of 120 t. The fishing industry had reported that fishing in 1999 was restricted by poor weather and the fishery was extended by one month into January 2000. However, there were few days in January when the weather was good enough for fishing. The 2000 research survey indicated that the abundance of commercial size scallops has declined from 1999.
