The American lobster, Homarus americanus, fishery off of south-western Nova Scotia (lobster fishing areas [sic] 34) / D.S. Pezzack … [et al.].: Fs70-1/1999-32E-PDF
The status of the lobster fishery in Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 34 is reviewed. Estimates of exploitation rate and levels of egg production per recruit (E/R) are presented. Projected impacts of conservation management changes currently in review are evaluated. Landings increased over 3X during the 1980's and remained high and stable since 1990-91. Fishing grounds also expanded during the 1980's to include the deeper water areas outside of 20km and 55m depth contour, out to the 92km LFA 41 offshore line. Results of the egg-per-recruit analysis indicates that the stock is over fished and increased egg production would help reduce the risk of recruitment failure.
