Proceedings of the regional peer review of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)-industry Atlantic halibut longline survey design : February 17 and March 9, 2017, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia / chairperson,...: Fs70-4/2017-038E-PDF

"A regional peer review meeting was held on February 17, 2017, at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to review the design of the DFO-Industry Atlantic Halibut Longline Survey for the southern Grand Banks and Scotian Shelf management unit (NAFO Divs. 3NOPs4VWX5Zc). The focus of the meeting was to evaluate alternative survey design options that extend the sampling distribution of the longline survey into areas and depths not currently well represented and to review strategies for transitioning to a new survey and implications for the assessment model. Participation in this meeting included DFO Science and Resource Management, First Nation communities, fishing industry, and non-DFO scientists. The DFO-Industry Atlantic Halibut Longline Survey provides an index of abundance in the statistical catch-at-length stock assessment model that is used in framework assessments every five years and as a key input to the interim procedures used to derive annual Total Allowable Catch (TAC) advice in the intervening years”--Summary, p. iv.
