Stock assessment and management frameworks for the proposed fishery for sea mussels (Mytilus californianus) in British Columbia / Graham E. Gillespie.: Fs70-1/1999-116E-PDF
Programs to assess, manage and monitor proposed sea mussel fisheries are presented and evaluated. Because of the longevity of sea mussels, and the sensitivity of the mussel bed community to disturbance, very low harvest rates and specialized means of responsible harvesting are discussed. A preliminary survey protocol and suggestions for collecting fishery-dependent and fishery-independent information are provided.
