Canadian Stock Assessment Secretariat research document, 1480-4883 ; 98/80 Includes bibliographical references (p. 13). This report presents the first detailed examination of the Bras d'Or Lakes herring spawning component since 1981. The study, initiated in 1996 by the Eskasoni Fish & Wildlife Commission and the Department of Fisheries & Oceans, has led to the collection of more information on the commercial & bait fisheries. Egg bed, spawning & larval surveys, combined with a questionnaire survey of fishers, have further elucidated the status of herring & the herring fishery in the Lakes. Analysis of data collected in this study reveals degree of deterioration in the status of the Bras d'Or Lakes herring stock. Finally, a management plan for 1998 and recommendations for conservation of the herring stock are presented. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Salt water fish gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Denny, S.
