Considerations for defining reference points for Atlantic salmon that conform to the precautionary approach / G. Chaput.: Fs70-5/2015-074E-PDF

This manuscript was prepared in support of a peer review meeting to review reference points for Atlantic salmon that conform to the Precautionary Approach (PA) framework. The manuscript is structured along the following objectives of the peer review meeting: describe and propose candidates for limit reference points, upper stock reference points, and maximum removal rate reference points which could be defined for Atlantic salmon; advise on the appropriateness of using reference points that are specific to variations in productivity, particularly sea survival, which have occurred for Atlantic salmon; review methods to transfer reference points to rivers which do not have river-specific values defined; review and advise on methods to develop age-specific or size-specific (if appropriate) reference point values; uncertainties in the development and use of reference points in fisheries management.
