Canadian Stock Assessment Secretariat research document, 1480-4883 ; 99/31 Includes bibliographical references (p. 20-22). The status of the lobster fishery in the Bay of Fundy (Lobster Fishing Areas (LFA's) 35, 36, and 38) is reviewed. Estimates of exploitation rates and levels of egg production per recruit (E/R) are presented. Projected impacts of conservation management changes currently in review are evaluated. Landings have increased dramatically over the past two years and are well above average levels. The mean size of the catch in the upper bay has declined about 10mm (due to increased recruitment), but there has been no change in mean size in other areas where catches have been sampled. Because of the large number of pre-recruit lobsters appearing in at-sea samples, landings over 1000 t are expected to continue for several years. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Crustaceans gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Lawton, P.
