Caption title. "December 2016 (Erratum: March 2017)." "This report is available from the: Centre for Science Advice (CSA), Gulf Region, Fisheries and Oceans Canada"--p. 15. Includes bibliographical references. "Based on the updated fishery-dependent and independent indices, lobsters in the sGSL continue to be in high abundance and recruitment signs are positive everywhere except, in sub-region 26AD (eastern end of central Northumberland Strait). Recent landings are either above long-term medians or the highest of the time series. The 2015 preliminary landings are well above the precautionary approach’s USR, therefore positioning the sGSL lobster stocks in the healthy zone. While increased landings reflect a high abundance of commercially exploitable lobsters, fishery-independent recruitment indicators are also showing significant increases since the last assessment. Other production indicators based on fishery-dependent data are also positive with CPUE of berried females and pre-fishery recruits in their highest range. The only exception is sub-region 26AD"--Conclusions, p. 13. gccst Fisheries resources gccst Crustaceans gccst Fishing area gccst Fisheries management Canada. Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
