Incorporating habitat suitability into productivity estimates for sea scallops in scallop fishing area 29 west / Stephen J. Smith and Jessica A. Sameoto.: Fs70-5/2016-107E-PDF

"In 2014, a framework assessment was conducted for Scallop Fishing Area (SFA) 29 West (W) and a new approach for modelling the population dynamics of sea scallop was adopted. This new approach incorporated measures of differing productivity by scallop habitat suitability areas into the Bayesian state-space, size-based model that has been used for the Bay of Fundy, Georges Bank, and Browns Bank scallop assessments. However, the definition of Precautionary Approach (PA) reference points in the context of a habitat based model was not resolved for the 2014 assessment. Further, the problem of how to predict the allocation of effort by the fishery to the different habitat suitability areas to model short term yield for fishing plans and long term yield for the definition of reference points needed to be solved"--Abstract, p. iv.
