Quota options for the geoduck clam (Panopea abrupta) fishery in British Columbia for 2001 and 2002 / C.M. Hand and D. Bureau.: Fs70-1/2000-163E-PDF
Quota options for each geoduck bed are calculated as the product of estimates of virgin biomass and a target harvest rate. Biomass is calculated from estimates of bed areas, an estimated mean virgin density and a mean weight per individual. Quotas vary over time as new information is incorporated into calculations for virgin biomass. The objectives of this PSARC Working Paper are to update the time-series of fishery information with data from the 1998 and 1999 seasons, present new estimates of geoduck density from fishery-independent surveys and new estimates of mean geoduck weight from harvest log data, and to provide quota options by Geoduck Management Area (GMA) for the 2001 and 2002 fishing rotations.
