Assessment of the scallop stock in scallop production area 1, Bay of Fundy for 1998 / D. Roddick … [et al.]. : Fs70-1/1999-62E-PDF

This assessment examines previous and current survey data, logbook data, and the Full Bay fleet port sampling data. Some of the data is preliminary as work is being done to incorporate the new management boundaries into the databases. Survey biomass estimates and commercial catch rates have declined from the historic peak in 1988/89, to the lowest levels in either time series. At the present level of effort the removals from the stock in the traditional Digby and Cape Spencer areas appear to be balanced by growth and a low level of recruitment. The population of large scallops in being fished down and there are no signs of a strong recruitment pulse in the next few years. The outlook is for a stable but low scallop abundance in this area, as long as fishing effort remains at present levels.
