Scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) in scallop production areas 1 to 6 in the Bay of Fundy : stock status update for 2016.: Fs70-7/2017-002E-PDF
“The objectives of this report are to: identify the consequences of different harvest levels in Scallop Production Areas (SPAs.) 1A, 1B, 3, 4 and 6 for the 2016/2017 season, provide advice on the interim harvest levels for the start of the 2017/2018 season for SPAs 1A, 1B, 3, 4 and 6, and, identify all information on fishery by-catch of non-target species. If information is available, identify any notable changes in occurrence of bycatch species relative to previous years. Interim harvest levels are provided for the following fishing year to allow the fishery to start in October before annual assessment or update results are available (November). The last full assessment of the Bay of Fundy scallop occurred in 2015 (DFO 2016, Nasmith et al. 2016). This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process of 17 November, 2016, on the 2016 Stock Status Update of Bay of Fundy Scallop in Scallop Production Areas (SPAs) 1A, 1B, and 3-6"--Context, p. [1].
