520 |aThe Banquereau Bank fishery for Arctic surfclams has grown from landings of 29 t in 1986, to 24,951 t in 1998. The three vessels participating in this fishery exploit both Banquereau and Grand Bank. The fishery is managed with limited entry and a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) divided into Enterprise Allocations (EA's), but the TAC is based on sparse survey data from the early 1980's. Concerns for the future of this fishery led Industry to propose supplying three years of vessel time for a stock assessment survey of Banquereau and Grand Banks, if the Department of Fisheries and Oceans would design and carry out the biological assessment. The main survey was completed in 1996, and the opportunity to conduct additional stations was taken during the summer of 1997. This paper presents the analysis of the survey results. With a long lived sedentary organism it has been questioned if TAC's are the best method to manage this fishery. One alternative, that of a rotational fishery, is examined in light of the survey results.
