2015 Lobster stock assessment on the North Shore (LFAS 15, 16 and 18) and at Anticosti Island (LFA 17), Quebec area .: Fs70-6/2016-044E-PDF

"The lobster fishery is managed by controlling the fishing effort (number of licences, number and size of traps and fishing season) and by escapement measures: release of berried females and minimum legal size (MLS). The management and conservation measures introduced over the past 19 years follow the recommendations of the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (FRCC). The resource status is assessed every three years. This report describes the situation in 2015 and the changes observed since the last stock status assessment in 2012."--Context.
