Dockside validation methods for the live-market red sea urchin fishery in British Columbia / by D. Leus, W. Hajas and C.M. Hand. : Fs97-6/3003E
A study was initiated at the request of commercial harvesters and fishery managers to develop a conversion from: 1) volume of submersed urchins to validated biomass and 2) wet weight to drained weight (validated biomass). The conversion is an aid to accommodate future live-market fishery landings of submersed red sea urchins into the system of quotas developed for the traditional-commercial fishery. Using the conversion, the harvest of a red urchin will be counted against the same amount of quota whether it is sold on the live market or through the traditional commercial fishery. This report presents the results of analyses of experimental data that were collected during fishery off-loads at Stevenson Marina, south of Vancouver BC, where product containers are delivered for public dockside sales.
