Assessment of the Arctic surfclam (Mactromeris polynyma) stock of Banquereau for 2016 .: Fs70-6/2017-047E-PDF
“The hardshell clam fishery on Banquereau started with an exploratory fishery in 1986. The targeted species on this bank is Arctic Surfclam (Mactromeris polynyma). Indicator reports are produced annually as interim-year updates to determine whether there has been a change in stock status that may warrant a full stock re-assessment and revision of the science advice ahead of the assessment schedule or changes to management measures. The main indicators used in this assessment are derived from landing, logbook, and commercial catch sampling data. A review of Arctic Surfclam science and a framework for the Banquereau stock of Arctic Surfclam took place in 2016 (DFO 2016). This assessment uses the methods from this recent framework to provide a summary of the current status of the Banquereau stock. This Science Advisory Report is from the April 20-21, 2017, meeting on the Assessment of Arctic Surfclam"--Context, p. [1].
